Venn Diagram Relationships: Which Diagram Represents the Given Classes?

Draw the Relationship, Not the Words

A relationship-diagram question gives two or three words, such as Doctors, Women, Teachers, and asks which figure of circles represents them. There is no calculation and no counting; you only decide how the groups relate. Yet the same item appears in SSC, Railway and state teaching exams every cycle, because students rush and pick the first figure that feels right.

The skill is simple. Replace each word with a group of people or things and ask whether members of one group can also belong to the other. The answer to that single question picks the figure.

There are only five shapes in nearly every paper: concentric circles, one circle inside another, partly overlapping circles, two separate circles inside a larger one, and fully separate circles. The next cards give a three-question test to choose between them every time.
