Question

If animals that live on land and the animals that live in water are represented by two big circles and animals that live in water and on land are represented by small circle, the combination of these three can be best represented as

A.

B.

C.

D.

Answer 1

Hint: The closest figure which can represent the given data is B. Because figure ‘B’ contains the small circle that is the animals that live in water and on land completely lie inside the larger circles.


Complete step-by-step answer:
It is given that, animals that live on land and the animals that live in water are represented by two big circles and animals that live in water and on land are represented by small circle.
In this type of questions, we have to identify the closest Venn Diagram from the given alternatives that will represent the classes given in the problem.
Here are the tricks to identify the Venn Diagram: (represented with circles)
1. Two objects which do not share any common property will be completely disjoint.
For e.g., animals that live only on land and the animals that live only in water.
2. Two objects, one of which, is an example of the other, will be shown as concentric circles.
3. Two objects, in which one is of the categories that constitute the other object will be shown by two intersecting circles.
Here the smaller circle which is representing the animals that live in water and on land must completely lie inside the larger circles.
Therefore, we can say that the closest figure which can represent the given data is B.
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: The meanings of the figures constituting the Venn Diagram will be given in the question. We have to observe the figure carefully. We have to identify the correct representation of the intersecting region.
