Question

In the question, two statements are given, followed by two conclusions. Consider the statements to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. Decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow(s) from the given statements.

Statements $:$
Some dogs are bats.
Some bats are cats.

Conclusions $:$

$2.$ Some cats are dogs.

• A. Only $2$ follows
• B. Both $1$ and $2$ follow
• C. Only $1$ follows
• D. Neither $1$ nor $2$ follows

Two Venn diagrams are possible.
