Figure for question 143

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Rectangle → Graduate students

Triangle → Science students

Circle → Students living on campus

Square → Students receiving scholarships

We are looking for a science graduate student who does not stay on campus.

Science graduate student → Intersection of triangle and rectangle.

Does not stay on campus → Outside the circle.

So, we need the part where triangle and rectangle overlap, but outside the circle.

From the diagram:

The intersection of triangle and rectangle outside the circle contains the number 11.

Hence, option 4 is correct.
