According to figure there may be chance to occur "some watches are keys" then why did it go wrong.

Ann said:   2 decades ago
According to the third figure some portion of watches are keys. So conclusion 2 is also correct.

Anu said:   1 decade ago
According to figure 2 and 3 some watches are keys then why the conclusion 2 does not follow?

As per the 2nd figure, why some watches are not keys?

I think option B is the right answer.

Can't we add one more figure like your example : 2 >> figure : 3 for this question?

Priya D said:   1 decade ago
Yeah. All possible diagrams should satisfy the conclusion. For the conclusion to be true.

Ravish said:   2 decades ago
Conclusions should be true in all diagram. Conclusion 2 does not follow in diagram 1.

Siva said:   1 month ago
Only 1 follows because watches could be either inside or outside the Keys region.

Deepak Varshney said:   2 decades ago
This is also the rule in venn diagram, conclusion should follow in all dig. ?.

Vinu said:   9 years ago

So, the correct Answer is option: A.
