    I think if the Venn diagram is drawn correctly, then the following results can be obtained:
    I. It's not right bcoz they are not in direct relation and no definite argument can be drawn from two distinct elements. (Not in direct relation)
    II. Some copies = some magazines and no magazine is a dictionary. Hence it's false.
    III. It's 'true' bcoz some copies = some magazines and no magazine is a dictionary. From their intermediate relation, it is quite evident.
    IV. Distinct elements hence it's false.

    Ans:- (A) Only III follows.
