Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the statements will be –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some toys are blocks – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circle that represents toys is overlapped by the circle that represents blocks and has some areas in common. So, some toys are blocks. Therefore, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): Some blocks are books – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circle that represents blocks lies inside the circle that represents books. So, all blocks are books and some blocks are books is also true. Therefore, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (III): Some stories are toys – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circle that represents toys is overlapped by the circle that represents stories and has some areas in common. So, some stories are toys. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
