LOGICAL VENN DIAGRAM

TYPE - 1

This sections deals with questions which aim at analysing the ability to relate a certain given group of items and illustrated it diagrammatically.
 Here are a few different types of a Venn diagrams with their implification mede clear.
 Suppose you are given a group of 3 items. Then,
1) If the items evidently belongs to three different groups, the Venn diagram representing it would be shown the diagram 

Ex. Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers
These three items bear no relationship to each other so there represent by 3 disjoint figures as shown

2) if one item belongs to the class of the second and the second belongs to the class of 3rd, then the representation is in the form of three consecutive circles, as shown. 

Ex:  seconds, Minutes, Hours 
Clearly, seconds are a part of minutes and minutes are a part of hours. So, the Venn diagram would be as shown with circle A representing Seconds, circle B representing minutes and circle C representing Hours.

3) If two separate items belong to the class of the third, they are represented by two disjoint circles inside a bigger circle as shown. 

Ex: Table, Chair, Furniture
Clearly, table and chair are separate items but both are items of furniture. So, they would be represented as in the adjoining figure with circle A representing Table, circle B representing Chair and circle C representing Furniture.

4) If two items belongs to the class of the third such that some items of each of these groups are common in relationship, then they are represented by two intersecting circles enclosed within a bigger circle. 
Ex: Males, Fathers, Brothers
Clearly, some father may be brothers and vice-versa. So, father's and brothers would be represented by two intersecting circles. Also both fathers and brothers are males. So, the diagrammatic representation would be shown with circle A representing Fathers, circle B representing Brothers, and circle C representing Males.

5) if two items are partly related to the third and are themselves independent of each other they are represented by three intersecting circles in a line. 
Ex: Dogs, Pets, Cats 
Clearly, some dogs and some cats are pets. But all the pets are not dogs are cats. Also dogs and cats are not related to each other. So, the given items would be represented as shown in figure with circle A representing Dogs, circle B representing Pets and circle C representings Cats .

6) If the three items are partly related to each other, they are represented as shown in the figure. 
Ex: Clerks, Government Employees, Educated Persons 
Clearly, some clerks maybe Government employees and some may be educated. Similarly, some Government employees may be clerks and some maybe educated. Also some educated persons maybe clerks and some maybe Government employees. So, the given items may be represented as shown in figure, with three intersecting circles denoting the three classes.

7)  If one item belongs to the class of second while third items is entirely different from the two, then they may be represented by the adjoining diagram. 

Ex: Engineers, Human Beings, Rats
Clearly, all engineers are human being.  This would be represent by two concentric circles. But the class of rats is entirely different from these two. Thus, these items would be represented as shown in the figure, with circle A representing Engineers, circle B representing Human Beings and circle C representing Rats.

8) if one item belongs to the class of second and the third item is partly related to these two, they are represented as shown. 
Ex: Females Mothers, Doctors 
Clearly, all mothers are females. This would be represent by two concentric circlea. But, some females and some mothers can be doctors. So, the circle representing doctors would intersect each of the two concentric circles. Thus, the diagram becomes as shown with circle A representing Mothers, circle B representing Females and circle C representing Doctors.

9) if one item belongs to the class of second and the third item is partly related to the second, they are represented as shown figure. 
Ex: Males, Fathers, Children 
Clearly, all fathers are males. This would be represented by two concentric circles. But some males are children. But children cannot be fathers. Thus, the diagram becomes as shown with circle A representing Fathers, circle B representing Males and the circle C representing Children.

10) if two items are partly related to each other and the third item is entirely different from the two, they are represented as shown the diagram. 
Ex:  Professor, Author, Children 
Clearly, some professor can be authors and vice-versa. This would be represented by two intersecting circles. But the class of children would be entirely different from these two. Thus, the Venn diagram would be as shown with circle A representing Professors, circle B representing Authors and circle C representing Children.
