Question

In a dinner party a group of people were served both fish and meat. Some took only fish and some only meat. There were some vegetarians who did not accept either. The rest accepted both fish and meat.
Which of the following Venn diagrams best reflects the situation ?

The correct answer is

     

To solve the problem of which Venn diagram best reflects the situation described in the question, we need to analyze the information provided:

  1. There are people who took only fish.
  2. There are people who took only meat.
  3. There are “some vegetarians who did not accept either,” meaning there is a group that took neither fish nor meat.
  4. The rest accepted both fish and meat.

From these points, it's clear that our Venn diagram needs to include:

  • One circle for people taking fish.
  • Another circle for people taking meat.
  • An overlapping section for people who accepted both fish and meat.
  • The space outside both circles represents vegetarians who took neither.

The correct Venn diagram should show two overlapping circles (representing fish and meat consumers) with an external area for vegetarians:

This option correctly depicts the situation with two intersecting circles for fish and meat, including an area outside the circles which accounts for people who did not consume either, the vegetarians.

Therefore, the correct answer is the Venn diagram represented by the image above.
