The least possible Venn diagram is:
Conclusions: I. Some éclairs are toffees: True (As All toffees are part of eclairs. so some eclairs are toffes is definitely true). II. Some éclairs are chocolates: True (As some toffees are part of chocolate and all toffees are eclairs, so the part of eclairs which is toffee is also chocolate). III. Some chocolate are Perk: False (This is possible but not definite, as no direct relationship between the two is given). IV.

Hence, Both conclusions I and II follow and Either III or IV follows. |
