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 logically define the relational intersections among the three categories:
1. Mothers and Women: All mothers are biological women. Thus, the circle representing "Mothers" must be entirely enclosed within the circle representing "Women".
2. Mothers and Parents: All mothers are parents. Thus, the circle representing "Mothers" must also be entirely enclosed within the circle representing "Parents".
3. Women and Parents: Some women are parents (specifically mothers), and some parents are women. This means the circles for "Women" and "Parents" intersect each other partially.
Consequently, the circle for "Mothers" must lie inside the overlapping intersection region of both the "Women" and "Parents" circles. This exact relationship matrix is represented by Figure (B).
