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 evaluate the logical relationships between the sets:
1. Mothers and Women: All mothers are women. Hence, the circle for "Mothers" must be entirely contained within the circle for "Women".
2. Mothers and Parents: All mothers are parents. Thus, the circle for "Mothers" must also be entirely contained within the circle for "Parents".
3. Women and Parents: Some women are parents (e.g., mothers), and some parents are women. This means the circles for "Women" and "Parents" intersect partially, but both must completely enclose the smaller nested circle of "Mothers" at their intersection.
This specific configuration is accurately represented by Figure (B).
