The least possible Venn diagram for the statement is:

  F4 Savita SSC 15-2-24 D15

 

Conclusions:

I. Some doctors are teachers. → True. (Some teachers are Scientist and All Scientist are doctors, then the part of scientist who are doctors are also teachers.)

II. Some engineers are teachers. → True. (Some engineers are scientist and some scientist are teachers, then the part of engineers which are scientist are also teachers.)

III. Some doctors are scientists. → True. (All Scientist are Doctors, it gives some doctors are scientist.)

So, All Conclusions Follow.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
