Sample questions

Sample Easy question 1

Which arrangement best represents 'Fruits', 'Citrus Fruits' and 'Oranges' (an orange is a citrus fruit)?

  1. Fruits circle inside Citrus Fruits circle
  2. Oranges and Citrus Fruits circles are identical, separate from Fruits
  3. Three nested circles: Oranges inside Citrus Fruits inside Fruits
  4. Three separate circles
Show answer

Answer: C. Oranges are a subset of Citrus Fruits, which is a subset of Fruits — three nested circles.

Sample Easy question 2

In a co-ed school, which arrangement best represents 'Students', 'Boys' and 'Girls' (mutually exclusive subsets)?

  1. Two overlapping circles (Boys, Girls) inside a larger circle (Students)
  2. A single circle for all the three groups
  3. Two non-overlapping circles (Boys, Girls) inside a larger circle (Students)
  4. Boys circle drawn completely inside the Girls circle
Show answer

Answer: C. Boys and Girls never overlap, but both are subsets of Students.

Sample Easy question 3

Which arrangement best represents 'Fruits', 'Mangoes' and 'Apples'?

  1. One big circle (Fruits) containing two separate, non-overlapping circles (Mangoes, Apples)
  2. One single circle that represents all the three groups
  3. Three separate circles with no overlap or nesting among them
  4. Two circles fully overlapping each other, inside a larger circle
Show answer

Answer: A. Mangoes and Apples are both distinct types of Fruits, so both are separate circles nested inside the Fruits circle.

Sample Medium question 4

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.

Sample Medium question 5

If some students are both athletes and musicians, which diagram represents 'Students', 'Athletes' and 'Musicians'?

  1. Three circles all overlapping in the middle
  2. Three completely separate circles
  3. Athletes circle inside Musicians circle only
  4. Students circle with no overlap with the other two
Show answer

Answer: A. Since some students are also athletes and musicians, all three circles overlap.

Sample Medium question 6

If some managers are also engineers, which diagram best fits 'Employees', 'Managers' and 'Engineers'?

  1. Two overlapping circles (Managers, Engineers), both inside a larger circle (Employees)
  2. Three separate circles that do not overlap with each other
  3. Engineers circle inside Managers circle, both outside the Employees circle
  4. Employees circle drawn inside the Managers circle
Show answer

Answer: A. Managers and Engineers overlap where some people are both, and both groups are Employees.
