Friends its A. Actually we have to draw every possible veenn diagram for the statements and if a conclusion is true in every diagram then only it is true.

So many may think all the possible conditions..do not see like that see only conform(accurate)...if you have doubt that one answer is correct in one way and may be wrong in some other way,leave that answer.ie,don't take it as correct one..take option as correct when it is correct any way you think..it should be correct in any way you think.

So many are thinking C is correct..it is not correct why because diagram two may or may not happen(so do not consider diagram two)...where as diagram one 100% saticifies given statements...so only A option is correct...so friends do not consider doubted conclusions..consider only 100% correct ones.

Well, freinds, according to me, none of the options are correct...and only the second conclusion id corect but there is no matching option for it...see from the first venn diagram in the answer and you will see that none of the pens are jeeps which makes the second conclusion correct..now, no cars are boxes and no boxes are cars either, so, conclusion 1 and 3 are incorrect...that makes only conclusion 2 correct...what say?

I think it satisfies only conclusion-2. So no option is correct here.

Do I have a question?
Some x are y, all x are w, all w are z then all y are z is a possibility.
Please suggest me the right answer.

Hello ajay...as you are asking,(all Y are Z)?
It is not possible...
But (some y is z )can be a possibility..ok
Try it by drawing venn diagram... you will get it
