Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


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

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

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