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): Some circles are square – It is a possibility that the circles representing circles and squares overlap. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (II): Some circles are chains – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing circles lie inside the circle representing chains while some lie outside. So, this conclusion follows.
So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
