Question:hard

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.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Here we want a region that says yes only to "educated" (the circle) and no to everything else, urban (triangle), hard working (square) and honest (rectangle). Let's check each choice.

  1. Region 5: This is the small patch right at the top apex of the triangle. That makes it urban only, not even touched by the circle, so this cannot be the answer.
  2. Region 7: This patch sits inside the circle but past the edge of the triangle, the square, and the rectangle, so none of those three shapes cover it. This lines up exactly with what the question asks for.
  3. Region 10: This patch sits where the circle and the rectangle overlap. People here are educated and honest. Since the question wants NOT honest, this region has one quality too many.
  4. Region 11: This patch sits where the square and the rectangle overlap, and the circle does not reach it at all. People here are hard working and honest but not educated, so it cannot be the answer.

Only region 7 gives us educated people with no urban, hard-working or honest overlap attached.

Let's summarize:

  • We needed a region inside the circle alone, with no overlap from the triangle, square or rectangle.
  • Region 5 is outside the circle entirely, region 10 wrongly adds "honest", and region 11 is outside the circle entirely too.
  • Region 7 is the one true "educated only" zone in the diagram.

So non-urban, educated people who are neither hard-working nor honest are shown by region 7.
