Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): No noise is a conversation – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between noise and conversation. So, no noise is a conversation is a false conclusion. Conclusion (II): At least some conversations are sounds – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between conversations and sounds. Therefore, at least some conversations are sounds is a false conclusion. Conclusion (III): Some sounds are debates – According to the Venn diagram, the circles of sound and debates overlap and have a part of their area in common. Therefore, some sounds are debates is a true conclusion.
Therefore, only conclusion III follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
