Can you help me out. Since it is given all poets are goats then obviously some poets can be considered as trees. Is this right ?

The simple way is first it says all poets are goats and then it says Some goats are trees which means they are only giving the relation between goats and trees in the second statement so I will got with first diagram if they would have had said some poets are trees then I whould have choosen the 2nd diagram hope this helps!

It is simple. We don't have to use any trick. Think logically. See all poets are goats but may be possible these goats are not trees. So we cannot conclude 1st one. But in the second case if some goats are trees then naturally some trees are goats. Its simple.

If any on case is not follows then conclusion not exist. If any conclusion is false from any diagram the don't try to make efforts to make it true.

But how can we decide that what case has to be taken.

If we consider both the case then no conclusion will be drawn. So is it true to consider only one case to get the answer.

Put the conclusion on the two diagrams and take the conclusion which proves absolute. Dont consider if the solution satisfy the two diagrams... that'a all

I think both 1 and 2 case follows in the second diagram. Why should we take first diagram only. Give me answer soon.
