Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All wins are tins – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between wins and tins. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some wins are pins – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing wins and pins overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some wins are pins. Thus, this conclusion follows.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
