Statements: Some watches are clock.  Some clock are wrist watches. Conclusions: (i) No watches are wrist watches. (ii) Some clock are watches. Correct Answer Only conclusion (ii) follows

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as below:

Conclusions: 

1. No watches are wrist watches → False (There is no direct relation between watches and wrist watches. It is possible but not definite).

2. Some clock are watches → True (As the some watches are clock is a definite similarly vice-versa will so be a definite conclusions).
