I think there is no universal method in solving this? By any method if we start answering the answer should be same, but here the case is different, I think its sensitive because we can't say the second and third diagram mentioned is wrong.
That could even happen, also these second and third concepts are not mentioned particularly in the question we can't consider that as right. This is my personal opinion.

Option 1 is incorrect according to me as in the given statement "All the locks are keys. All the keys are bats. Some watches are bats" and option 1 is "Some bats are locks" which is not possible as there is no middle term in the given 1st and last statement if we relate these two.

The answer should be option no. 1, because from 2nd and 3rd figure, some watches are keys also follows!

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.
