We have to choose the diagram with minimum intersection. That is the first one.

@Ranveer.

From what you have said I understood how the first two conclusions were wrong but I don't understand about 3 and 4 can you please explain.

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.

Please explain which figure we have to use to deduce result. Tell me the importance of these two figures. ?

According to figure 1- answer is (E) and according to figure 2 answer is different.

@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.

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?
