Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some fruits are sour – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing fruits and sour overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some fruits are sour. Conclusion (II): Some sweets are not fruit. – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that some sweets are fruits. But there is a possibility that the rest sweets may not be fruits. But it's not clear in the diagram. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
So, only the conclusion I follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
