Venn diagram based problems


Venn diagram based problems:
Venn, a British mathematician, developed
what are called Venn diagrams mainly to
illustrate the principles of Set Theory and
certain operations on sets.
 This type of diagram is extensively used
in scientific and engineering presentations,
in theoretical Mathematics, in Computer
applications and in Statistics.
 In general, Venn Diagrams are logical
diagrams, in which various items and their
relationships are represented by circles or
other types of diagrams.
 In these questions, you will be presented
with different classes or groups of familiar
objects and you will be asked to identify
their mutual relationships.

 This requires a logical understanding and
