I will add a Venn Diagram too.
1) Every person who has a dog at home also has a cat as a pet. => D is completely a part of C. D is a tiny part of C or almost equal to C, we cannot say.
2) Further, it is known that most of those who have cat as a pet do keep alligator as a pet. => More than 50% of the circle of C is covered by A. There could be A elsewhere too.
3) It has also been seen that most of those who keep cat have guests for at least 15 days in a month. => More than 50% of the circle of C is again covered by G. There could be G elsewhere too.
From 2 and 3 above, we get that there has to be some overlap at least between A and G. So, So, at least some of A is correct.
Now G is at least 15 days, so 'more than 15 days may be wrong'. It could be all are exactly 15 days we are not aware. However, at least 15 days is part of at least 10 days, so correct.
1: At least some of the aligator
2: at least 10 days

Every person with a dog also has a cat
Most people with a Cat also have an alligator => Some people with a cat don't have an alligator
Most people with an Alligator have guests for at least 15 days => Few people with an Alligator don't have guests for more than 15 days.
My Answer: It can be said that some of those who have a dog as a pet have guests for less than 15 days a month.
Why?
Given: Everyone who has a dog has a cat and most of them have an alligator out of which most houses get guests for 15 days minimum.
Which means:
Some who have a dog and a cat, don't have an alligator -> Cannot guess the number of days guests visit
Some who have a dog, cat and an alligator -> Have guests for less than 15 days or no guests at all.
This seems logical to me.
I'm not sure how we can infer the provided answer i.e. It can be said that some of those who have a cat as a pet have guests for at least 10 days a month.
chetan2u Bunuel KarishmaB can you help explain please?
