We draw the possible vein diagram in every case. Here 3 cases are possible and statements must satisfy all three of them. If a single statement is not satisfied then it can't be true.
Thank You.
Thank You.

Some watches are bats. Remaining part of the watch can be key or lock. Since it is not directly given in the statement so. It can be a possibility.
So, I think both conclusion 1 and 2 follows.

Applying venn diagram and deductive logic in the four forms of premises that is A, E, I and O and further getting their derivatives will help in solving the syllogism problems.

The correct option should be A.
- Bats are a part of Watches so some of the watches are bats for sure.
- Similarly, we can conclude that some watches are keys.
- Bats are a part of Watches so some of the watches are bats for sure.
- Similarly, we can conclude that some watches are keys.

@All.
It can be an answer only if the given condition is possible in all figures. If not it is not a conclusion and that's why option 2 is not an answer.

Option A should be correct. According to the diagram no 2 it clearly showing that some watches are keys. So what's wrong in that case? please explain.

According to figure all locks are bats but how bats become locks because lock is part of bat. Bat can become lock but lock can't become bat.

There is a method for Euler circle i.e. if there are more than 1 diagrams then always intersection is taken into account.
