Logical Venn Diagram

Venn diagrams are used to visualise logical relationship among given groups of elements.

In this chapter, we deal with the questions which aim at analysing a candidate's ability to relate a given groups of items and illustrate it diagrammatically. Different geometrical figures like circle, triangles, squares and rectangles, etc. are used to represent these diagrams.

Types of Questions

Based on the variety of questions that are asked in various competitive exams, we have classified logical venn diagrams into two types as follows

Type #1: 

Identification of Venn Diagram

In this type of questions, we deal with different types of cases which are as follows

Case (I) If two separate groups of items are completely unrelated to each other but they are all completely included in the third group, then the relationships can be diagrammatically shown as in the given example.

Example 1: Vehicle, Car BusSolution: Venn diagram would be as follows

Bus and car are entirely different but both are vehicles.Case (II) When two groups of items have some common relationship and both of them are completely included in the third group, the relationships are shown by two smaller intersecting circle in a third large circle.

Example 3: Lawyers, Teacher, Educated

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

Some lawyers are teachers and some teachers are lawyers but all lawyers and teachers are educated.

Case (III) If one item belongs completely to the class of second while, third item is entirely different from the two, then they may be represented by the given below diagram in the example.

Example 4: Engineers, Human Beings, Rats

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

We know that, all engineers are human beings but rats are entirely different from both of these.

Case (IV) If one group of items is partly included in the second group of items and the third group is completelyunrelated to these two groups, then their relationship is diagrammatically show as in the following example.

Example 5: Wire, Copper, Paper

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

Show wires are made of copper but paper is entirely different.

Case (V) If one item belongs to the class of second and the third item is partly related to these two, then their relationships is as shown in the following example..

Example 6: Female, Mother, Doctors

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

All mothers are females but some females and some mothers can be doctors. So, the circle representing doctors would intersect both of the two concentric circles.

Example 7: Doctor, Educated, Employed

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

All the doctors are educated but some are employed.

Case (VI) If one item belongs to the class of second and the third item is partly related to the second, then their relationship is as shown in the following example.

Example 8: Male, Fathers, Children

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

All fathers are males. This would be represented by two concentric circles but some males are children and children cannot be fathers.

Case (VII) If the items evidently belong to three different groups, then they are represented by three non-intersecting circles.

Example 9: Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers.

Solution: Venn diagram would be as follows

These three have no relationship between each other.

So, they are represented by three disjoint circles.
