Question

In the given figure, the numbers associated with the rectangle, triangle, and ellipse are 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Which one among the given options is the most appropriate combination of P, Q, and R ?
 

The correct answer is
P = 6; Q = 5; R = 3

To find the most appropriate combination of P, Q, and R, we analyze which numbers fall into specific regions of the Venn diagram represented by the rectangle, triangle, and ellipse.

The numbers associated with each shape are:

  • Rectangle: 1
  • Triangle: 2
  • Ellipse: 3

The regions in the Venn diagram are as follows:

  • P: Inside the ellipse only
  • Q: Inside both triangle and ellipse
  • R: Inside both rectangle and triangle, but outside the ellipse

Now, let us determine the numbers for P, Q, and R:

  1. P: The number that is in the overlap of the triangle and ellipse is 6. Therefore, P = 6.
  2. Q: The only number inside the triangle and the ellipse (but not exclusively in either) is 5. So, Q = 5.
  3. R: The number in the overlap of the rectangle and triangle (but outside the ellipse) is 3. Hence, R = 3.

After placing these numbers into their respective positions:

Triangle & EllipseQ5
Rectangle & TriangleR3

The correct combination is:
P = 6; Q = 5; R = 3

Therefore, the most appropriate answer is the option: P = 6; Q = 5; R = 3.
