Geometrical Figures In this section, for asking question a Venn diagram is given with certain geometrical figure in it. Each geometrical figure in the diagram represents a certain class. A student is required to study and analyse the figure carefully and then answer certain questions on the basis of given data. ·
Example:
Study the figure given below carefully and answer the questions that follow:
(a) 3 (b) 4
(c) 6 (d) All of these
(e) None of these
Ans. (e)
Explanation: Clearly, we have to find a number which lies inside each one of the four figures - triangle, square,
oval and hexagon. There is no such number in the given diagram. Hence, the answer is (e)
(a) 6 (b) 15
(c) 20 (d) All of these
(e) None of these
Ans. (c)
Explanation: We first have to find out the numbers which belong to two figures only.
Numbers common to square and oval: 2, 4
Numbers common to triangle and oval: 6
Numbers common to hexagon and oval: 8
The numbers common to square and triangle i.e. 3 or triangle and hexagon i.e., 9 lie inside the oval also, and hence
none of them shall be considered here.
Required sum
(a) 27 (b) 162
(c) 648 (d) All of these
(e) None of these
Ans. (a)
Explanation: We first find the numbers which belong to three figures only.
Number common to square, triangle and oval: 3
Number common to triangle, hexagon and oval: 9
Required product
(a) 5 (b) 16
(c) 21 (d) All of these
(e) None of these
Ans. (c)
Explanation: We first find the numbers which belong to one figure only.
Number inside the square only: 1, 3
Numbers inside the oval only: 1, 5, 7
Number inside the hexagon only: 4
Required sum
Hence, the answer is (c)
(a) 64 (b) 192
(c) 384 (d) All of these
(e) None of these
Ans. (c)
Explanation: We first find the numbers which belong to two figures only.
Clearly, such number are 2, 4, 6, 8
Required product

(e) None of these
Ans. (b)
Explanation: Number common to circle and triangle: 5
Number common to circle and rectangle: 8
Number common to triangle and rectangle: 1
(a) 1 (b) 2
(c) 5 (d) 9
(e) None of these
Ans. (d)
