Correct Answer: Only conclusions I and II follow
Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some pillows are rugs – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing pillows and rugs overlap and have a part of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some pillows are rugs. Conclusion II: All blankets can never be sheets – Since some blankets are pillows and no sheet is a pillow, therefore, blankets that are pillows can never be sheets. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion III: Some rugs are sheets – The circles representing rugs and sheets may overlap. But this is not definite. Thus, this conclusion doesn’t follow.
So, only conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
