Which of the following diagram/set indicates the relation between women, mothers and parents?
- AA
- BB
- CC
- DD
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's establish the logical relationship between the three groups:
1. All mothers are inherently women. Therefore, the circle representing "mothers" must lie completely inside the circle representing "women".
2. All mothers are also parents. Therefore, the circle representing "mothers" must also lie entirely inside the circle representing "parents".
3. However, some parents are women (mothers) and some parents are men (fathers). Similarly, some women are parents (mothers) and some women are not parents. Thus, the circles for "women" and "parents" intersect each other partially, while both completely enclose the circle of "mothers".
This unique nested intersecting arrangement is correctly represented by Figure (B) (where the innermost circle is completely inside the intersection of two larger outer circles).
