A valid conclusion must satisfy ALL the venn diagrams possible.
If u have two conclusions that satisfy one of the two given venn diagrams...then it'll be 'either 1 or 2'.
Hope this'll help u out a li'l...:)

If it says that all cows are crows then it is possible that some cows are elephants...hence if some cows are crows then its lesser chances that some of them are elephants..i know its not proper but that is how i cram it... :)

By looking second diagram Conc I follows. And Conc II does not follows, then your answer is D. Can you explain it?
If possible then please upload some more instruction how to draw all venn diagram for all the cases.

Isn't a true since we are allowed to refer to the second diagram, ans some cows are still elephants since they are both partof crows, isnt it?

But its an "or" between venn diagrams so any one can be true.

It must satisfy all the venn diagrams. If any one is left than its not true.
