• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows
• E. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Step 1: Analyse options.
- Statement 1: All Flowers are inside the Tree circle. - Statement 2: Fruit and Tree circles do not overlap. - Conclusion I: Since Flowers are inside Trees and Trees don't touch Fruits, Flowers cannot touch Fruits. Correct. - Conclusion II: Since All Flowers are Trees, the part of the Tree circle occupied by flowers confirms that "Some trees are flowers." Correct.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Both conclusions follow logically. Final Answer: (e) Both I and II follow
