Correct Answer: Only II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some skirts are tables – This conclusion cannot be logically drawn from the given statements because there is no direct relation between skirts and tables. Conclusion II: Some benches are skirts – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing benches and skirts intersect and have a common area between them. So, it can be concluded that some benches are skirts. Conclusion III: All benches are skirts – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing benches and skirts intersect and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some benches are skirts not all. Conclusion IV: Some tables are skirts – This conclusion cannot be logically drawn from the given statements because there is no direct relation between tables and skirts.
So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
