The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

I. No malaria is bacteria → False (It can be possible but it is not definite)

II. Some virus is malaria → False (It is definitely false)

III. Some mosquito are not bacteria → True (It is definite)

Only conclusion III follows.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

I. Some prepositions are verbs → False (It can be possible but it is not definite)

II. All verb is noun → False (It can be possible but it is not definite)

III. Some article is noun → False (It can be possible but it is not definite)

Hence, none of the conclusion follows.

Concept 1:

• Meaning of "Some A are B" in Syllogism - there is at least one point in A which is in B.
• Meaning of "All A are B" in Syllogism - each point of A is in B.
• This explains why "some" can be considered as a subset of "all".
• Therefore, if "All A are B" is true, then "some A are B" is always true.

Keywords:

1. All and some not
2. Some and no

Conditions:

1. The same elements are used in the two conclusions. For example, in this case, the elements jungles and malls are common to both conclusions.
2. Both conclusions should be possibilities. That is, they should be false because the conclusion is possible but not definite.

Then, the pair of conclusions are considered as complementary pairs.

Concept 2: Few, Only a few, Only.

a) Only a few - means only "some" not "all".

Example1-

1. Only a few A are B implies that-

• Some A are B
• All A are B is a possibility is false because Only a few A are B. All A cannot be B

"But"

• all B can be A.

b) "Few" is same as "some".

Example2-

1. few A are B implies that-

• Some A are B
• All A are B is a possibility
• Some B are A.
• Some A are not B is a possibility.

3) Concept of Only:

c) Only "A is B" is the same as "all B are A".

Examples

• Only A are B.
• Some A are B.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Explanation:

I. Some Boys are not Bad → False (As some Boys are Bad, and remaining part of Boys and Bad whether it is true or not. So, it is false)

II. Some Men are Good → True (As All Men are Good → some Men are Good. So, it is true) 

III. Some Bad are not Good → False (it is possible but not definite. So, it is false)

Conclusion

"Only conclusion II follows" is the correct answer.

1. M sits at the extreme end.

2. R sits two places away from M.

3. Only two persons sit between X and R.

4. H sits second to the left of X.

7. S is seated opposite the person who is immediately to the right of K.  8. L and P are not seated directly opposite to each other, and also don't sit at the ends.

9. J is the neighbour of the person who faces the one seated second to the left of T. 

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is H, T.

Given: Fourteen persons are seated in two parallel rows, with seven persons each. H, I, J, K, L, M, and N in Row 1 and facing South, while P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V in Row 2 and facing North, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. Q is seated three places away from U, who occupies one of the extreme ends. 

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

2. The one who sits second to the left of Q sits opposite to M.

3. M sits diagonally opposite to P, who sits third to the right of S.

4. T sits to the right of S but is not an immediate neighbor of Q.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2.

5. R is seated opposite the person who is immediately left of N, who doesn't sit opposite Q. 6. I sits second to the left of N. 

7. S is seated opposite the person who is immediately to the right of K.  8. L and P are not seated directly opposite to each other, and also don't sit at the ends.

9. J is the neighbour of the person who faces the one seated second to the left of T. 

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is Neither P nor Q sits directly opposite I.

Logic: Second letter = First letter + 3, Third letter = Opposite of second letter

Option 1: F + 3 = I, and opposite of I = R

Option 2: J + 3 = M, and opposite of M = N

Option 3: B + 3 = E, and opposite of E = V

Option 4: U + 3 = X, and opposite of X = C ≠ Z

Hence, the correct answer is UXZ.

Here, family members are K, N, O, P, Q, S, T and Y.

4. Y is the aunt of S.

5. O is the grandson of N.

6. P is not the daughter of N.

7. S is not the brother of O. (Since, there is no single parent of a child so case 1 is eliminated) Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Hence, Q is the daughter - in - law of N.

Here, family members are K, N, O, P, Q, S, T and Y.

1. K is the brother – in – law of T.

2. Q is the daughter – in – law of K.

4. Y is the aunt of S.

5. O is the grandson of N.

6. P is not the daughter of N.

7. S is not the brother of O. (Since, there is no single parent of a child so case 1 is eliminated) Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, each person except Y is a male person whereas Y is a female person.

Hence, the odd one is Y.

Here, family members are K, N, O, P, Q, S, T and Y.

1. K is the brother – in – law of T.

2. Q is the daughter – in – law of K.

3. T is the uncle of Y.

4. Y is the aunt of S.

5. O is the grandson of N.

6. P is not the daughter of N.

S is the daughter of P. Therefore, statement B is correct.

T is the brother of N. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.

Hence, the incorrect statement is only C.
