Conclusion I: Some clean objects are soaps. - It is satisfied in both the probability diagram. So it can be logically inferred.

Conclusion II: No clean object is a soap.- It is not followed.

Conclusion III: Some wet objects are soaps.-It is satisfied in both the probability diagram. So it can be logically inferred.

Conclusion IV: All wet objects are soaps.-It is not followed.

So only conclusions I and III can be logically inferred.
