Correct Answer: Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Now, let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): This thief is a man – From the Venn diagram, the circle of the thief is completely inside the circle of man. So, any thief will be a man and this conclusion follows.

Conclusion (II): Some men are thieves – From the Venn diagram, we can see that some part of the area that represents the man is outside the area that represents thieves. This means that some men are thieves. So, this conclusion follows.

Therefore, both conclusion I and conclusion II follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
