How many colour are pink?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

23

Here the circle stands for 'colour' and the triangle stands for 'pink', so items that are both colour and pink must lie in the region where the circle and the triangle overlap.

In such a figure that shared zone is made of every area that falls inside both the circle and the triangle, whether or not it also lies inside the rectangle (black).

Two sub-areas make up this overlap: the part that is inside the circle and triangle only, and the part that is common to the circle, the triangle and the rectangle together.

From the numbers marked in the figure, the circle-and-triangle-only area carries 5 items.

The area common to circle, triangle and rectangle carries 18 items.

Adding the two overlapping areas gives the count of colour items that are also pink: \(5 + 18 = 23\).

Hence the number of colour that are pink is 23.
