Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –
Let us analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some white are trucks – It is a possibility that the circles representing white and trucks overlap and have a part of their area in common. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion doesn’t follow. Conclusion II: Some horses being trucks is a possibility – It is a possibility that the circles representing horses and trucks overlap and have a part of their area in common. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion follows.
So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
