In the above question, it is not compulsory that the remaining tables are radios.

It can be something else. In the same way, it is not compulsory that the remaining radios are tables.

So 1 and 2 not possible. And in 3 & 4 are talking about all radio and TV, whereas in question it's only about few. So E is the correct option.

I agree with you @Bala.

Option 1 & 2 follows.

Other than Venn diagram there is another method also 100 50 method if we solve according to that method than option E is correct.

Correct answer should be both (1) and (2).

For the same question stated above what if they had given an option as ("only 1 and 2") and also the option ("None of These ") what would have been the answer then?

Faithful said:   9 years ago
@Sanjay.

In that case, the option of only 1 and 2 will be the correct answer. The best way to approach this is to apply the Venn Diagram Method.

I totally agree with your answer @Bala.

Hi Friends,

When there is no direct relationship given between two statements then the following conclusion is always wrong. In this question, there is no direct relationship given between radio and table and hence conclusions 1 and 2 are false, 3 and 4th are very straight forward. However, you may think that there is a possibility that few radios are the table and vice versa but in that case word possible should be in conclusion (like is it possible that few tables can be radios) normally it doesn't have so I don't think you should take it as the true statement.

Thanks.
