We can see here it's a case of complementary pairs, if we look at it closely both the possibility are wrong but you see in the answer A option is there as either.
For example, take a set A={5, . }, B={5, . }, C={5, . } now when we say some A is B we can see that in set A and B we have one common element as 5 but the rest information is not know to us this leads two cases the remaining may either be same or either it may be entirely different but in case of syllogism we mark the answer on the basis of 100% true validity of the given information since we are given only a part of the information we can't conclude anything here comes the concept of complimentary pair. Please search google for more idea on complimentary pairs. Thank you and All the best.

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.

I think the answer will be E.
Because some dogs are cats so in the second diagram some dogs are cats in the picture also some cats are dogs also it is there in the diagram some cars are dogs.
They have mentioned only some right it can be on or 100? So is this answer e.
The 2nd diagram shows the answer is e.
Please give the exact answer for this question.

Well. If the ones who are telling that opt D is right because of possibility case! why not consider the 2nd diagram as the real case, and the first one as a possibility? Then the answer will be different.
According to me, the 2nd diagram is correct!
According to me, the 2nd diagram is correct!
