Task Id  1057 Daman (10)

Conclusions:

I. Some clocks are mobiles → Follow (As some mobiles are watches and all watches are clocks. As some part of mobiles is common with watches which whole comes in clocks, therefore it is true.)

II. All pen drives are watches → Does not follow (As some mobiles are watches and all mobiles are pen drives. So it is possible but not definite)

∴ Here, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
