  1. Whales circle inside Mammals circle, completely separate from Fish circle
  2. Whales circle drawn inside the Fish circle, separate from Mammals
  3. Mammals and Fish circles identical, with Whales outside them
  4. Whales circle overlapping both the Mammals and the Fish circles

  1. One circle inside another
  2. All separate circles
  3. Three overlapping circles
  4. Two overlapping, one separate

Sample Medium question 5

What is the relationship between 'Animals', 'Dogs' and 'Cats'?

  1. Animals circle inside the Dogs circle and the Cats circle
  2. Two small non-overlapping circles (Dogs, Cats) inside a larger circle (Animals)
  3. All the three circles are identical to each other
  4. Dogs circle inside the Cats circle, which is inside Animals
Show answer

Answer: B. Both Dogs and Cats are subsets of Animals, but a dog cannot be a cat, so their circles don't overlap.

  1. Three circles all overlapping in the middle
  2. Three completely separate circles
