The explanation is good, but it's difficult to draw the venn diagram at the time of aptitude test and it'll be time consuming. If the answer is explained in logical way(i.e. by simple rules), it'll be easier.

No short cut to success, short cut may lead to right in some of cases but wrong in lot of cases, so be clear about venn diagram first, only practice can make you perfect, enhance your visualization, each if every possibility.

When we came from up to down in venn diagram all and some condition should be followed and when we go from down to up only some condition should be followed.

You can not draw the third Venn diagram because statement says ALL WRITERS ARE POET. But in third it is not true. They do the same analyses in previous question also.
Can anyone explain it?
