Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some drums are whistles – According to the given Venn diagram, there is no direct relation between drums and whistles. Thus, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion II: Some bells are drums – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing drums is completely overlapped by the circle representing bells. Thus, it can be concluded that some bells are drums. Conclusion III: Some bells are whistles – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing whistles is completely overlapped by the circle representing bells. Thus, it can be concluded that some bells are whistles.
So, both conclusions II and III follow. Hence, the first option is correct.
