Conclusion four may be also correct if all the dogs are cat then from venn diagram it also happens that dogs completely overlap on dogs and in that case the all the cats are dogs.

Yes agree to all guys as there is no other possibility except the door but as in all venn diagram problems we leave the possibility scenario here also drop 3 will be correct.

Out of two statements, if one is negative, the conclusion must be negative.
So only 1 and 2 options may be right.
But 1 and 2 are wrong.
Hence there is no answer.

Yes, it is correct @Saalini
Because 4th conclusion is not correct.
Ex- all yellow yolk is inside the egg's shell, the egg shell is not inside the yellow yolk.

The statement clearly says that no door is dog but it didn't specify that no cat is door. So here door can be cat or cat can be door. So only 3 follows.

First option: no door is a cat.
It means no door is a cat nor no cat is a door, and this is correct. So why not option 1 and 2 along with option 3?

According rule set if one premise is negative then conclusion must be negative,and also common term should be eliminated so option (1) is correct.

Hey we have to make a definite diagram and a probable diagram and if in both the diagrams it follows then only we can approve for it ?

Answer should be 1, 2, 3 because in venn diagram method, out of all possibilities, we consider the one which has LEAST COMMON AREA.

@All.
Here, they said no door is dog. It means we shouldn't connect the door and the dog but we can connect the door and the cat.
