The answer is E.
Look at the Venn Diagram
Conclusion 1 - All the actors are beautiful.
We can see that the actor's circle is inside beautiful so conclusion 1 is true.
Conclusion 2 - Some girls are actors.
We can see that actors circle is inside girls circle.
This means two things.
1. Some girls are actors (actors circle is inside girls circle).
2. Some girls are not actors (space between the boundary of actors circle and boundary of girls circle. These girls are just beautiful and not actors).
Therefore Conclusion 2 is also true.

If it is given in question that all the actor are girls means we cannot think that some girls may be actor because this is a logical question and here we are using some trick and we are not bother about logic, if we are bothered about logic then a conclusion is wrong all actors cannot be beautiful and if it is then in what respect, and if here we are using some trick then b option is wrong because it contain some inspite the question contains all.

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.

Both the sentence is universal affirmation hence conclusion must be universal affirmation type and middle term should not be in conclusion that's why first conclusion is true.
While in the second conclusion All the actors are girls but it is clearly not saying that all the girls are actors. It may be some actors and some not that's why conclusion second also follow.

Dear friends according to venn diagram all actors are girls {actors circle inside girls circle}, some girls are actors {actors circle inside girls circle} is same.
According to all+all = all we can say that answer is conclusion 1.
But don't do follow this blindly because we have see all the conclusions before going to answer.

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:

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.

The answer is E because this is given in question that all actors (who play role in any drama) are girls but all girls (in world) are not actors, only some girls are actors, and this is also given in question that all girls are beautiful (in world) , and all actors are girls so E is right answer.

All the actors are beautiful (true).
Some girls are actors (false).
Because the statement says all the actors are a girl the 2nd conclusion not satisfied this. The hidden meaning is some girls are an actor than some other.
So, the Answer : A.
Some girls are actors (false).
Because the statement says all the actors are a girl the 2nd conclusion not satisfied this. The hidden meaning is some girls are an actor than some other.
So, the Answer : A.

From my perspective it is A. It can't be E because "some" is not 100. It can be anything like 70 Or 97. But what about the remaining girls. It is mentioned that all girls are beautiful saying all 100 are beautiful.
