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 bags are rats – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing bags lie inside the circle representing rats while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (II): Some bags are rats – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing bags lie inside the circle representing rats while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some bags are rats.
So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
