Explanation
Solution
To solve this logical reasoning problem, we first map the characteristics to the specific geometric shapes mentioned in the directions:
-
Circle: Educated
-
Square: Hardworking
-
Triangle: Urban people
-
Rectangle: Honest
We need to find the number that satisfies all the following conditions:
-
Honest: Inside the Rectangle.
-
Educated: Inside the Circle.
-
Hardworking: Inside the Square.
-
Non-urban: Outside the Triangle.
Step-by-step Elimination:
-
Identify the intersection of Circle (Educated), Square (Hardworking), and Rectangle (Honest). The numbers that fall into all three of these shapes are {9,11}.
-
Apply the final condition: Non-urban (Must be outside the Triangle).
-
Looking at our set {9,11}, we see that 11 is only in the square and rectangle (not the circle), so let's re-examine the intersection.
-
The region shared by the Circle, Square, and Rectangle is represented by the number 9.
-
Since the number 9 is outside the Triangle, it represents "non-urban" people.
Thus, the number representing honest, educated, and hardworking non-urban people is:
Correct Option: (d)
