I don't see any logic of saying E correct. Because some is not mentioned anywhere and also since both the statements are of positive it cannot be negative.

Second conclusion: Some girls are actors, that is wrong actually all girls are actor. So answer should be A only.

Only A is possible. UP+UP = UP(A to C).

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.

Answer is A because according to rules all+all = all.

We cannot predict with some girls may be actors or may not son we can't conclude it so option to won't follows.
