Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statement is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some milk is butter – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between Milk and Butter. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
Some butter is curd – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing butter and curd overlap and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some butter is curd.
So, only the conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
