Q: Which of the following diagrams shows the correct relationship among :Boys, Students, Girls

The correct diagram is (A): three circles in a row, the middle one overlapping both outer ones.Let the middle circle be Students. Some boys are students and some are not, so the Boys circle overlaps Students without lying inside it; the same holds for Girls. No one is both a boy and a girl, so the Boys and Girls circles do not touch. That is exactly diagram (A).Diagram (B) would put all boys and all girls inside Students, which is too strong. (C) nests the three sets inside one another, and (D) makes the two inner sets overlap, which would mean some boys are girls.

Q: Arrange the following terms in a meaningful-logical order indicating the correct order.1. Poverty2. Population3. Death4. Unemployment5. Disease

The logical order is 2-4-1-5-3: Population, Unemployment, Poverty, Disease, Death.The chain runs from cause to effect. A growing population outstrips the jobs available, causing unemployment. Without income, people fall into poverty. Poverty brings malnutrition and poor sanitation, and so disease, and untreated disease ends in death.The other orders break the causal chain: one puts unemployment before population, one starts with poverty and puts population in the middle, and one starts with disease.

Q: Which of the following diagrams shows the correct relationship among the three terms - Athletes, Women, Mothers ?

The correct diagram is (B).All mothers are women, so the Mothers circle lies wholly inside the Women circle. Some athletes are women and some are not, and some athletes are mothers and some are not, so the Athletes circle must overlap both the Women circle and the Mothers circle inside it. Diagram (B) shows a small circle inside a larger one, with a third circle cutting across both.(A) shows Athletes linking two separate overlapping groups, with no subset relation. (C) puts all three inside each other, making every mother an athlete. (D) puts two overlapping groups inside a third, which would make all athletes women.
