We know that all the actors are girls. We know that all the girls are beautiful. That means all the actors are beautiful.
We cannot say that some girls are actors. It literally says: "All the actors are girls".
While yes, in real life some girls are actors. In the context of this statement, we cannot assume the real world. We go by what is being told to us.
The correct answer should be A.

Since all actors are girls and all girls are beautiful, it follows that all actors are beautiful. So, conclusion 1 is true.
Statement 1 implies that there are girls who are actors, which makes conclusion 2 true as well.
Therefore, both conclusions 1 and 2 follow. The correct answer is:
Both (1) and (2) follow.
Statement 1 implies that there are girls who are actors, which makes conclusion 2 true as well.
Therefore, both conclusions 1 and 2 follow. The correct answer is:
Both (1) and (2) follow.

Here the question says that All the Actors are girls and all the girls are beautiful.
And conclusion says that :
1) All Actors are beautiful.
2) some girls are actors. So now.
My doubts is that how can the answer can be the both 1 and 2.
At last, the final and correct answer is Option1. Only (1) follows.
