Directions to Solve
In each of the following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions numbered (1) and (2). You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Give answer:
- (A) If only (1) conclusion follows
- (B) If only (2) conclusion follows
- (C) If either (1) or (2) follows
- (D) If neither (1) nor (2) follows and
- (E) If both (1) and (2) follow.

Every one of there, here some cows are elephants in 2nd diagram and some cows are not elephants. So we got two cases here. If we say that "some cows are elephants" but diagram 1 disagrees to that conclusion. So, in that case we have to give answer as neither. So, option D is correct.

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.

D is 110 % correct. As in syllogism what is said is considered not any possibility. So diagram one is correct. And second diagram is a possibility. Never use possibility in drawing conclusion, until it is said it is a possibility.

Some one help me to find the correct one as diagram 1 shows option 4 and the other shows 1 option.

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.

I have read all comments above. But I have still not able to understand the answer. Why D is correct?

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 it's not proper but that is how I cram it.:)

Draw all possible diagrams which satisfy the statement, then check each diagram.
If and only if all the diagram satisfies the statement given in 1 or 2 than the respective statement will be true. If any diagram fails to satisfy the relation than the respective statement will be false.
In above question diagram, 2 is satisfying whereas diagram 1 is not satisfying, hence the given answer is D.
