Therefore, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): All pulses are edible – From the above diagram, we can see that the circle of pulses is completely inside the circle of edibles, implying that all pulses are edible. Therefore, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (III): Some edibles are grains – From the above diagram, it is clear that some parts of edibles lie outside the circle of grains and some lie inside. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
