We cannot say the options 1 and 2 because the relationship between the doors and the cats is not given in the statements.

Sandip said:   9 years ago
I think, Option 1, 2, 3 must follow and it will be the answer.

Shaik said:   9 years ago
Answer should be 1, 2, 3 options because in question there is no relationship between door and cat.

There is restriction on dog, not on cat.

So cat can be door.

That's why only 3.

Himanshi said:   9 years ago
Answer should be 1, 2, 3 because in venn diagram method, out of all possibilities, we consider the one which has LEAST COMMON AREA.

Pranitha said:   9 years ago
Yes, option B is the correct answer i.e., conclusion 1 and 3.

Conclusion 1 - is obtained by substituting statement 2 in statement 1.

Conclusion 3 is the obtained by reversing the subject and the predicate or even by the venn diagram as suggested in the explanation.
