In the figure given below the triangle represents balls, the circle represents chairs and the rectangle represents wickets. The number in each area represents the number of items in that area. Which of the following statement is correct? I. Number of wickets which are only chairs are 10. II. Total number of balls are 14 less than the total number of wickets.
Only I
The triangle stands for balls, the circle for chairs and the rectangle for wickets; each number is the count of items in that particular region.
Statement I speaks of wickets that are only chairs, meaning the region lying inside the rectangle and the circle but outside the triangle.
That region carries the number 10, so the count of wickets which are only chairs is indeed 10 and Statement I is correct.
Statement II compares total balls with total wickets. Total balls is the sum of every region inside the triangle: 11 + 8 + 7 + 12 = 38.
Total wickets is the sum of every region inside the rectangle: 13 + 10 + 8 + 11 = 42.
The difference is 42 - 38 = 4, so the balls are 4 less than the wickets, not 14 less as claimed.
Therefore Statement II is wrong and only Statement I holds true.
Hence the correct choice is Only I.
