Some women are teachers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between teachers and women. So, no definite relation can be drawn between them. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III:
Some women are actors – From the given Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing women and actors overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some women are actors. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
