Some basics formulas to solve these kind of questions in easiest way:
1. ALL + ALL = ALL
2. ALL + NO = NO
3. ALL + SOME = NO CONCLUSION
4. SOME + ALL = SOME
5. SOME + NO = SOME NOT
6. NO + NO = NO CONCLUSION
7. NO + ALL = SOME NOT REVERSE
8. NO + SOME = SOME NOT REVERSE
1. ALL + ALL = ALL
2. ALL + NO = NO
3. ALL + SOME = NO CONCLUSION
4. SOME + ALL = SOME
5. SOME + NO = SOME NOT
6. NO + NO = NO CONCLUSION

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.

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.

If the conclusion is positive then basic diagrams alone is sufficent.
If the conclusion is negative it may not follow in basic diagram but may overlap in other diagrams.
So, answer is 1, 4.
If the conclusion is negative it may not follow in basic diagram but may overlap in other diagrams.
So, answer is 1, 4.

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?

1st conclusion is restated. So how come 1st and 4th follows?
I think According to me, only 4th will follow.
Anyone explain, if I'm wrong.
