Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statement is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I:
Some water is milk – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing water lie inside the circle representing milk while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some water is milk.
Conclusion II:
All milk is ocean – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing milk lie inside the circle representing the ocean while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the
