Answer 1

Statements:

Few mice are rats

Most rats are vultures

All vultures are hawks

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

(I) Few mice are vultures → False (There is no direct relationship between mice and vultures, so it can be possible not definite).

(II) Some hawks are mice → False (There is no direct relationship between mice and hawks, so it can be possible not definite).

(III) Some rats are hawks → True (As most rats are vultures and all vultures are hawks, some rats are also hawks).

So, 'Only conclusion III follows '.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Important Points

1) “ALL” can be written as: Each, Every, Only, 100%.

2) “Some” and “Some not” can be written as: Almost, Little, Few, At most, At least, Many, Mostly, 1-99%.

3) “No” can be written as: None, 0%.
