Given Statements:

Some bikes are trucks.

All trucks are planes.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

F6 Savira SSC 2-9-24 D5

Conclusions:

I. Some bikes are planes - True (Because, all trucks are planes and some bikes are trucks, which implies some bikes are planes).

II. No truck is a bike - False (Because, the statement "Some bikes are trucks" directly contradicts this conclusion).

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
