Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is as follows –
Let's check the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some noses are eyes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing nose lie inside the circle representing eyes while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some noses are eyes. Conclusion II: All lips are noses – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing lips and noses overlap and have some part of their area in common. Thus, this conclusion doesn't follow.
So, only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
