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.

Conclusion is:- Tixo is yellow.
So what does it mean:- all Tixo are yellow?
OR
Some TIXO are yellow.
Since there is no word written before Tixo, So how it comes? Please tell me.

We can not go directly with the figure 2, Because in given problem there is nothing mention about the "some tixo is yellow" so we cannot go directly with figure 2.

Some + Some = No conclusion. So neither 1 nor 2 follows.
Some mangoes are green i.e. all green are not mangoes but green is shaded with tixo and mangoes.
Some mangoes are green i.e. all green are not mangoes but green is shaded with tixo and mangoes.

I have a doubt on syllogism which is should we draw the figure only for the given statement or should we draw all the possible case. Please clear me.

@All,
You guys are missing the point, a third diagram is possibly right, where tixo covers all of yellow and a part of mangoes.

Some mangoes are said yellow OK but not said all and in (1) some mangoes can be green also then why should not following (1).
