Question:

Each row of Column-I has three items and each item is represented by a circle in Column-II. The arrangement of circles in Column-II represents the relationship among the items in Column-I. Identify the option that has the most appropriate match between Column-I and Column-II. Note: The figures shown are representative. 

Show Hint

In Venn diagram analogy questions, look for subset, overlapping, or hierarchical relationships to match visual patterns with conceptual groupings.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let’s analyze each group in Column-I and match it with the appropriate Venn diagram in Column-II.

(1) Animals, Zebra, Giraffe:
- Zebra and Giraffe are both subsets of Animals.
- Hence, three concentric circles, representing hierarchy (Q).

(2) Director, Producer, Actor:
- These are overlapping professions; a person can be all three.
- Best represented by overlapping circles (R).

(3) Word, Sentence, Novel:
- A word is part of a sentence, and a sentence is part of a novel.
- This hierarchical inclusion is best represented by nested (concentric) circles (S).

(4) Pianist, Guitarist, Instrumentalist:
- Pianist and Guitarist are both types of Instrumentalists.
- So, two circles (Pianist and Guitarist) overlapping within a larger one (Instrumentalist) — Diagram (P).

Thus, the correct matching is:
- (1) – Q
- (2) – R
- (3) – S
- (4) – P
