Some mangoes are green is not true because it is not mentioned anywhere in statement. Tixo is a yellow is also not true because you cannot say for certain that it is yellow. It may or may not be yellow. Thats neither.

When deals with venn diagrams it is better to follow minimum overlap rule, ie, in this case, first diagram will do and no common facts logic to be applied, like, tixo means green mango etc.

Tixo is a mango whose colour is not known because Some + Some give no conclusion.

Ravinder kumar said:   8 years ago
Tixo is a mango which is green in color not yellow or pink.
