Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some trees are short – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing tree and shorts overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): Some trees are words – From the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no definite relation between trees and words. So, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
