Question

Study the given diagram carefully and answer the question. The numbers in different sections indicate the number of articles.

How many such barrels are there that are only jugs?

• A. 5
• B. 1
• C. 4
• D. 6

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 4

Based on the given Venn diagram, we need to find the number of barrels that are only jugs (meaning they lie inside both the Barrels and Jugs shapes, but outside any other shape).

Shape Identifications:

• Triangle: Barrels

• Circle: Jugs

• Square: Bottles

• Hexagon: Glasses

1. Locate the region where the Triangle (Barrels) and the Circle (Jugs) overlap.

2. The overlapping numbers between the triangle and circle are 4 and 5.

3. We need barrels that are only jugs, so we must exclude any region that overlaps with the square (bottles).

4. The number 5 lies inside the square, so it is excluded.

5. The number 4 lies strictly within the triangle and circle, but outside the square.

Therefore, there are 4 such barrels that are only jugs.
