In the figure given below the square represents men, the triangle represents teachers and the circle represents authors. The number in each area represents the number of items in that area.
How many men are teachers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In the square and triangle
Two numbers are visible: 8 and 6.
8: This number is in the square and triangle (meaning men are teachers).
6: This number is in the square, triangle, and circle (meaning these men are teachers as well as writers).
Only 'men, teachers' is asked.
So we will add these two numbers.
8 + 6 = 14.
There are a total of 14 men who are teachers.
