First know All=A, NO=E, SOME=I, O=SOME NOT, O* = O revers.
Let A+A=A.
A+E=E.
E+A=O*.
E+I=O*.
I+A=I.
I+E=O.
A+I=NC(no conclusion).
A+O=NC.
I+I=NC.
FOLLOW THIS METHOD A LITTLE BIT EASY TO SOLVE.

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.

HAI DEEPTHI.............THIS IS AMRUTHA
CAN U EXPLAIN BELLOW WHICH IS WRITEN BY U
let ALL=A,SOME=E
formula
A+A=A
A+E=NO CONCLUSION
E+E=NO CONCLUSION
E+A=E
A-->E (A conversion is E)
E-->E

'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.

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?

@SUMAN
you repeated
B+A = Y.
B +B = no conclusion.
B+Z = Y.
B+Y= no conclusion.
B+A = Z.
B +B = Y.
B+Z = no conclusion.
B+Y= no conclusion.
Which combination is now correct?

But what should we do if the ststement contains NO.
Ex: No cats are dogs etc etc.

Does the logical deduction step of conversion and implification is also applied here along with the venn diagram to get the conclusion?
