@All.

According to me, the first diagram is correct and the second diagram is wrong. Because there is no statement that says cows and elephants are connected.

@All.

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

Here Option D is correct.

If you get any questions in which only some is using then these types of questions do have not any conclusions

The right statement option should be given.

1) some cows are crows and elephants.
2) some crows are cows and elephants.
3) some elephants are cows and crows.

@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.
