@All.

If we solve this by, income/expenditure method or 100/50 option A is the correct answer.

And if we study the second Venn diagram, it satisfies the first one also. So, A is the correct answer.

Correct me, If fI am wrong.

@All.

In the second diagram, you can see clearly that some cows are elephants. So, A is the correct answer.

@All.

In the explanation section, the 2nd diagram itself tells that, if some cows are crows and some elephants are crows.

Then it's clear that there is a relation possible that some cows can be elephants.

So, A should be the correct answer.

@Ramya.

The second diagram is a valid possibility because it nowhere says that cows and elephants are NOT related.
