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.
Uneducated urban hard-working and honest people are indicated by:
Show Hint
Find the region inside the triangle, square and rectangle that still falls outside the educated circle.
The trick with these figure-based questions is to treat every shape as a yes/no filter and go region by region. We need a region that says yes to "urban" (triangle), yes to "hard working" (square), yes to "honest" (rectangle), and no to "educated" (circle).
Region 3: This spot sits inside both the triangle and the square, so it counts as urban and hard working. But it lies outside the rectangle, meaning it fails the "honest" condition.
Region 11: This spot sits inside the square and inside the rectangle, giving hard working and honest. But it lies outside the triangle, so it fails the "urban" condition.
Region 9: This spot sits inside the square, the circle and the rectangle. The question specifically wants people who are NOT educated, and region 9 falls inside the educated circle, so it is ruled out.
Region 4: This spot sits inside the triangle, the square and the rectangle, giving urban, hard working and honest, all three qualities the question wants, and stays outside the educated circle too.
Going through all four choices this way leaves region 4 as the single region matching "uneducated urban hard-working and honest".
Let's summarize:
We needed a region inside the triangle, square and rectangle, but outside the circle.
Regions 3, 11 and 9 each fail on exactly one of those four conditions.
Region 4 alone satisfies all four conditions together.
So the region indicating uneducated, urban, hard-working and honest people is region 4.
