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.

If both the venn diagrams are looking right, then which answer should we put? please clear the confusion.

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?

Can you tell me what is the use of second venn diagram?

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.

The relation between Cat and Dog is uncertain i.e. relation may be possible or not possible.
So the D is correct.
So the D is correct.

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.

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.
