Correct Answer: Only conclusions I and II follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some mangoes are bananas – From the Venn diagram, the circle of mango has some part of the circle of banana. Therefore, this conclusion is true. Conclusion II: Some mangoes are apples – From the Venn diagram, the circle of the mango covers the circle of mango. Therefore, this conclusion is true. Conclusion III: No mango is an apple – From the Venn diagram, there is no direct negative relation given between mango and apple. So, no negative relation can be drawn between mango and apple. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
So, only conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the third option is correct.
