Venn diagrams are an efficient way of representing and analyzing sets and performing set operations. As such, the usage of Venn diagrams is just the elaboration of a solving technique. Problems that are solved using Venn diagrams are essentially problems based on sets and set operations. Therefore, before we move on to understanding Venn diagrams, the candidates first need to understand the concept of a set. Venn Diagrams is an alternate way of depicting sets.

Answer & Explanations

I.                                                                     

Number of even numbers from 2 to 50 are 25.

Number of odd numbers from 2 to 50 are 24.

Number of prime numbers from 2 to 50 are 15.

 

1. Number of elements in set A only = 24

    i.e, the even numbers which are not primes. Choice (2).

 

2. There are 10 elements in only set B, i.e, there are 10 odd numbers which are not primes.   

     Choice (3).

 

3. There are 14 elements in B n C i.e, there are 14 odd prime numbers. Choice (1).

   

4. There is only one element in A n C i.e, 2 is the only even prime number. Choice (2).

 

5. Number of elements in C' = the elements which do not belong to the set C. There are

   (24 + 10) = 34 such numbers i.e, numbers are non primes. Choice (3).

 

II. From the given data, we get the following diagram.

 

Taken = 60 students

J : K = 8 : 4 = 2 : 1

J : Both : None = 14 : 7 : 7 = 2 : 1 : 1 @ 2x, x, x (After removing the ratio)

=> x + x + x = 3x = 60

= x = 20

Hence

        1. x = 20 students learn only Judo.

        2. None learn only Karate.

        3. x = 20 students learn both.

 

6. None learn only Karate. Choice (3)

 

7. 20 students learn only Judo. Choice (1)

 

8. 20 students learn both. Choice (4)

 

9. 20 students learn both Judo and Karate. If they stop learning Judo then only 20 students would
    learn Judo. The total number of students is 60.

    Percentage of class learning only Judo = 20/60 x 100

    = 33 1/3%.   Choice (2)

 

10. Since none learn only Karate, so the given statement does not make any sense. The number of
     students learning Judo therefore remains the same.

     2x = 2 x 20 = 40 students learn Judo.

     Ratio : 40 : 20 = 2 : 1.        Choice (2)

Venn diagrams are an efficient way of representing and analyzing sets and performing set operations. As such, the usage of Venn diagrams is just the elaboration of a solving technique. Problems that are solved using Venn diagrams are essentially problems based on sets and set operations. Therefore, before we move on to understanding Venn diagrams, the candidates first need to understand the concept of a set. Venn Diagrams is an alternate way of depicting sets. Venn Diagrams consist of closed shapes, generally circles, which represent sets. The capital letter outside the circle denotes the name of the set while the letters inside the circle denote the elements of the set. Another type of question that often comes under this chapter is intersection of various geometric structures. Each geometric structures will be having some elements of their own and each structure will bear some characteristics or class. Intersection of two or more structures will give an amalgamation that will change the property of each previous element by something new. We have to identify that and need to answer accordingly from the given options. Freshersworld provides students or job seekers with concept, solved questions on Venn diagrams. Questions and answers for placements, bank po and competitive exams on Venn diagrams, are also provided which would help candidates in getting jobs easily.
