Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All briefcases are baskets – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing briefcases and baskets have an area in common but it does not completely overlap. So, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (II): Some baskets are briefcases – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing baskets and briefcases overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.
So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
