Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some green are yellow – According to the Venn diagram, some parts of the circle of green intersect with the circle of yellow and have some common parts between them. Therefore, some green are yellow is true conclusion.
Conclusion (II): Some green is red – According to the Venn diagram, there is no direct relation between green and red. Therefore, some green are red is a false conclusion.

So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
