3 Important Points

1. Whenever there is no relation between any two elements according to venn diagram, then all type of
definite conclusion will be treated wrong. Where as all type of possible condition between the same
will be treated true.

2. Whenever we will be required to draw a true conclusion regarding the blank space of any venn diagram,
we will have to use the word possibility.

3. Already existance of relation between two elements or already restriction between two elements never
allows possibility.
