The least possible Venn diagram is:
Conclusions: I. Some wild are rat: True (As some rat are wild) II. All wild are rat: False (This is possible but not definite). III. Some red are wild: False (This is possible but not definite, as no direct relationship between the two is given). Hence, Only conclusion I follows. |
