Identify the diagram that best represents the relationship among the given classes:
Singer, Dancer, Poet
- AThree mutually intersecting circles
- BOne large circle enclosing two separate circles
- CThree completely disjoint circles
- DTwo concentric circles with one intersecting circle
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the relationship between the three professions/talents:
A person can be a Singer as well as a Dancer.
A person can be a Dancer as well as a Poet.
A person can be a Singer as well as a Poet.
In fact, a person can possess all three talents simultaneously (Singer, Dancer, and Poet).
Therefore, all three classes share a partial intersection with one another. This is best represented by three mutually intersecting circles.
