The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some computers are photographs → True (As some photographs are computers, so some computers are photographs).
II. Some computers are newspapers → True (As some photographs are computers, and all photographs are newspapers, so we can say that some computers are newspapers).
III. Some newspapers are photographs → True (As all photographs are newspapers, so some newspapers are photographs).
Hence, All of the conclusions follow.
