Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some theories are exams
– From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing theories and exams overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II):
Some theories are viva
–
From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing theories lie inside the circle representing viva. So, it can be concluded that some theories are viva.
Conclusion (III):
Some tests are viva
–
From the diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between test and viva. So, this conclusion does not follow.
So, only conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
