Least possible Venn diagram:
Important Points
Complementary pair
1) When both the elements of conclusions are the same.
2) When both the conclusions are false individually.
There are only two different types of complementary pairs, which satisfy the condition of either or.
1) All - Some not
2) No - Some
Mistake Points"Some + Some not" are complementary pairs of Neither nor case.
