The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some vehicles are trucks → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no definite relation between vehicle and truck).
II. Some four-wheelers are vehicles → True (As some vehicles are cars and all cars are four-wheelers so, some four-wheelers are vehicles).
III. Some trucks are cars → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no definite relation between cars and trucks).
Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion II follows.
