Directions to Solve
In each of the following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions numbered (1) and (2). You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Give answer:
- (A) If only (1) conclusion follows
- (B) If only (2) conclusion follows
- (C) If either (1) or (2) follows
- (D) If neither (1) nor (2) follows and
- (E) If both (1) and (2) follow.

Here is ans for this question. Just a simple logic.
Always "SOME+SOME" gives answer as = "Neither (i) nor (ii)".
because in TYPE:I there wont be any word get distributed so that this cannot satisfy the three rules

We always have confusion about the option C or D e.g. Either (1) or (2) follows and Neither (1) nor (2) follows. Either (1) or (2) follows option directly relates to complimentary pair. does anybody explain about complimentary pair?

The basis of solving all such possibilities is to ensure that even if any one of the Venn diagram points to the possibility listed in the question. Hence figure b justifies both possibilities.
So E is correct answer.
So E is correct answer.

We simply have to pay attention to the fact that for a statement to be true, it must follow every possible venn-diagram.
Obeying just one trace/diagram does not suffice to declare the statement to be correct.

Either the second Venn diagram is wrong, or the answer is wrong. If you consider the first venn diagram, then the answer should be C.
Now if you consider the 2nd Venn diagram, then the answer is E.
Now if you consider the 2nd Venn diagram, then the answer is E.

Don't look out for a probability in venn diagram go with the truth you will always hit a correct answer this is what I have figured out so far practicing all of them. Others please share thank you.

I think "I" is right.
As some dog are bats, one can be a dog and can be a bat.
As some bats are cats, one can be a dog, then to a bat, then to a cat
tell me if I am wrong.
As some dog are bats, one can be a dog and can be a bat.
As some bats are cats, one can be a dog, then to a bat, then to a cat
tell me if I am wrong.

I think here is either or option number is follow because as per rule of either & or protocol (both is wrong) & (similar both variable) so please confirm this equation.

Ya please explain the correct approach towards such questions so that we can understand that what is the total number of venn diagrams needed in such questions?

In order to solve the same type of problem. We can conclude that. 1st draw all the possible venns and after that match the conclusions which satisfy both.
