The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. Some Cars are Trains. → True (As it is clear from the above diagram. Hence, follows).

II. Some Cars are not Trains. → False (As from the above diagram it can be possible but not definitely true).

Hence, only conclusion II does not follow.

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