Friends syllogism is all about taking all the possibilities into consideration. So we will check whether statements 1 and 2 are following both the diagrams or not.

Option D is the correct answer as the 2 conclusions given are definite and not possibilities. The indefinite conclusion we have to always go with the 1st diagram.

Answer D is correct. Conclusion '1' would have been correct had it given like this - some cows 'may' be elephants note the word 'may'.
Therefore answer is D.
Therefore answer is D.

@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.

No, D is correct. The clue is in the words order of the second statements. If the second statement is like "some elephant are crows",then option A is correct.

Check the introduction part it is well defined there for this type of cases. The Venn diagram here given are for the conflicting cases for respective cases.

I think only because we are getting two different possibilities from the two venn diagrams so we can't come to a conclusion.
So answer D is correct.
So answer D is correct.

Even I think option (d) is incorrect because there is an or between two venn diagrams, so according to second venn diagram, some cows are elephants.

If the questions about possibility A is the correct answer but here in the question there is no matter of possibilities so D is the correct answer.

Guys remember one thing whenever the dilemma present in the question then always take neither 1 nor 2. Because you can't decide the correct one.
