@Rajani, "All actors are dancers' can be converted into 'some actors are dancers' but not vice versa.

@Deepthi.
Your concept is wrong. No need to find out conclusion, they already given in the question. In this chapter, the statement is given and the conclusion is also given we prove that conclusion is wrong or not. If the conclusion is wrong then you are right, or conclusion is right then you are wrong.
Notes: [ (All=some not, not) (some=no) (no=all, some) ]. Always remember this, it used in conclusion to proving right ya wrong. This is your opposite words.
For example statement 1: All hands are arms, some hands are skins.
Conclusion 1: some skins are arms.
2: All skins are arms.
Answer: draw a diagram for the help of statement. And prove the statement for the help of conclusion.
1: Some skins are arms (some change into no).
2: all skins are arms (all change into not / some not).
So, conclusion 1st is the correct answer.
Thank you, everybody.

For question 2 in examples, I feel option (1) follows.
Some asses are not dogs is true right? since some asses are bulls (which implies they're not dogs). Please reply why not?

Venn diagram (Correctly Euler circles) shows all possibilities which do not violates any given premises. All actors are dancers do not violate any given premise. So it is shown in the diagrams.

'Some actors are singers. All the singers are dancers'.
Then why in the 2nd venn diagram all actors are dancers. I understood the first venn diagram but not the second.
Please help.
