Consider the following statements:1. All artists are whimsical.2. Some...
Solution: b) Again try drawing a Venn diagram.S1: If all artists are whimsical, it means that whimsical is a big category (or circle) and all artists will be one small circle in that.
S2: If some artists are drug addicts, draw a circle that cuts the circle of Drug addicts. Now, that circle can either be completely inside whimsical OR outside it cutting it.
S3: If frustrated people MAY become drug addicts (not all), then Frustrated (F) can be a smaller circle cutting the drug circle.
Now, check the options. Option (a) can be dismissed easily.
Option (b) has to be correct, because no matter what the drug circle has to cut the whimsical circle.
Option (c) too can be dismissed based on the diagram.
Option (d) is also wrong, because the diagram does not support it.
