Question

In the diagram below, the circle stands for 'educated', square stands for 'hard working', triangle for 'urban people' and rectangle for 'honest'. The different regions of the diagram are numbered from 1 to 12. Study the diagram carefully and answer the question.

Non-urban educated people who are neither hard-working nor honest are indicated by:

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 10
• D. 11

Hint:

Look for the part of the educated circle that does not touch the triangle, the square or the rectangle at all.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
Using the same diagram as before, we need the region that stands for people who are educated, but NOT urban, NOT hard working, and NOT honest.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
We need a region that lies inside the circle only, and stays outside all three of the other shapes, the triangle, the square and the rectangle.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Region 7 sits inside the circle but clear of the triangle, the square and the rectangle. A person in region 7 is educated but not urban, not hard working, and not honest. This matches the question precisely.
Checking the other options, region 5 lies inside the triangle only, so it stands for urban people who are not educated, the opposite of what is needed. Region 10 lies inside the circle and the rectangle, so those people are educated and honest, but the question wants NOT honest. Region 11 lies inside the square and the rectangle only, with no overlap with the circle at all, so those people are not even educated.

Step 4: Final Answer:
Region 7 is the only region that falls inside the educated circle alone, with no overlap from the urban triangle, the hard-working square, or the honest rectangle.
