Some ants are fishes Il. Some fishes are bees

    C Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    The least possible Venn diagram is given below based on the given statements. Conclusion: Some ants are fishes → Does not follow → (There is no definite relation between ants and fishes so it might be possible but not definitely true) Some fishes are bees → Follows → (Because some bees are fishes, so some fishes are bees is definitely true)   So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
