Venn Diagram Tests — Pick a Level and Start

Tap a level to see every test in it. Level 1 is set at real SSC CGL difficulty — start there the day you finish the concept. Level 2 is pitched above the exam, to push accuracy under pressure.

Level 1 SSC CGL Level Checking… View tests

Same difficulty as the real SSC CGL paper. Pick the Venn diagram for three classes (Mothers, Women, Doctors), pick the classes that fit a given diagram, count people from a figure of a circle, a triangle and a rectangle or square, find the number that marks a part, and two-group word problems. A steady score here means the chapter is exam-ready.

Level 2 Above SSC CGL Level Checking… View tests

Harder than the exam asks. Subtler class relations — a class inside the common part of two others, a third class cutting only the outer circle — with near-miss diagrams as options; four-shape figures with “exactly two”, “at least two” and “how many more” questions; and three-group word problems where the pair counts include those in all three.

Venn diagram questions test one skill: seeing how groups sit inside, across or apart from each other. In the classic SSC form you get three classes — say mothers, women and doctors — and pick the picture that shows them correctly. Compare the classes two at a time: one inside the other, partly overlapping, or nothing in common. Three pairs, one picture.

The figure form gives you overlapping shapes with numbers in each part and asks how many people fit a condition. The rule never changes: a number counts only if its part is inside every shape named and outside every shape excluded. Word problems use the same idea with the formula n(A or B) = n(A) + n(B) − n(both).

How Many Venn Diagram Questions Are Asked in SSC CGL?

Venn diagram is a regular member of the General Intelligence section — usually one question in a Tier I shift, and it turns up in CHSL, MTS and Tier II as well. The forms it takes are listed below, most common first.

Form of the questionHow often
Three classes — pick the diagram that represents themThe most common form
A figure of circle, triangle, rectangle or square with numbers — “how many…?”Common
A figure with numbered parts — “which number represents…?”Regular
A diagram given — pick the set of classes it fitsOccasional
Two- or three-group word problems (neither, both, exactly one)Occasional

Statements with All, Some and No (“which conclusion follows”) are practised in the separate Syllogism chapter.

What You Will Practice in the Venn Diagram Chapter

Logical Venn diagrams

  • Three classes — pick the one diagram that shows all three relations
  • One diagram — pick the set of classes it represents
  • Classes from people, animals, plants, places, numbers, shapes, objects and science

Figure-based questions

  • Counting people in a part: “play cricket and hockey but not chess”
  • Totals, “exactly two”, “at least two” and “how many more” (Level 2)
  • Which number marks the part that fits a condition
  • Three-shape figures at Level 1, four-shape figures at Level 2

Set word problems

  • Two groups: neither, both, only one, exactly one (Level 1)
  • Three groups: none, exactly one, exactly two, at least two, all three (Level 2)

The eleven pictures you need to know

Every three-class question in the tests matches exactly one of these. Learn to name the relation of each pair and the picture follows.

Nothing in commone.g. Pens, Shirts, Trains
One inside anothere.g. Mangoes, Fruits, Food
Two separate, both inside a thirde.g. Pens, Pencils, Stationery
Two overlapping, both inside a thirde.g. Even numbers, Multiples of 3, Natural numbers
One inside another, third aparte.g. Cows, Animals, Chairs
Third cuts only the outer circlee.g. Cobras, Snakes, Sea animals
Third cuts both circlese.g. Mothers, Women, Doctors
One inside the common parte.g. Whales, Mammals, Sea animals
All three overlape.g. Singers, Dancers, Actors
A chain of threee.g. Odd numbers, Prime numbers, Even numbers
Two overlap, third aparte.g. Women, Teachers, Stones

The three mistakes that cost the most marks

  • Missing a partial overlap. Women and doctors overlap: some women are doctors, and many doctors are men. Drawing one inside the other is wrong.
  • Letting circles touch when nothing is shared. No cobra lives in the sea, so in Cobras, Snakes, Sea animals the sea-animal circle cuts the snake circle but stays away from the cobra circle.
  • Counting the centre in a “but not” question. The middle part of a figure is inside every shape, so it never fits a question that excludes one of them.

Solved Examples — SSC CGL Venn Diagram

Q1. Select the Venn diagram that best represents: Mothers, Women, Doctors.
Every mother is a woman, so the mothers circle sits inside the women circle. Some women are doctors and some doctors are men, and some mothers are doctors — so the doctors circle cuts both. Answer: a small circle inside a big one, with a third circle cutting both
Q2. Select the Venn diagram that best represents: Tea, Coffee, Beverages.
Tea and coffee are both beverages, and nothing is both tea and coffee. Answer: two separate circles inside a bigger circle
Q3. In the figure the circle stands for students who play cricket and the rectangle for students who play football. How many students play football but not cricket?18924
The part inside the rectangle and outside the circle holds 24. The 9 is inside both shapes, so it does not count. Answer: 24
Q4. In a class of 60 students, 35 like tea, 30 like coffee and 12 like both. How many like neither?
At least one = 35 + 30 − 12 = 53. Neither = 60 − 53 = 7. Answer: 7

How the Venn Diagram Tests Work

  • 25 questions per test, with a full question palette — answered, skipped, marked for review, not visited.
  • Every form in every level — diagram choice, class matching, figure counting, numbered parts and word problems are mixed in each test.
  • Diagrams drawn sharp on any screen — the options and figures are drawn on the page, so they stay clear on a phone.
  • Optional 15-minute timer — with the clock to build exam speed, without it while you are still learning the chapter.
  • Marking: +2 correct, −0.5 wrong, 0 unattempted — the same scheme as the real paper.
  • Solutions, shortcut tricks and concept notes open after you submit — every pair relation is explained, every figure part is located, and every word problem is checked part by part.
  • English and हिंदी, chosen at the start of every test.

How to Prepare Venn Diagram for SSC CGL

  1. Learn the eleven pictures above. Most questions are recognised in seconds once you know them.
  2. Always compare in pairs. Inside, overlapping or apart — write a quick symbol for each of the three pairs.
  3. Test an overlap with a real example. “A woman doctor” proves women and doctors share members; “a male doctor” proves neither is inside the other.
  4. In figures, mark IN and OUT first. Then add only the parts that satisfy both.
  5. For word problems, fill the diagram from the centre outwards. All three first, then the “two only” parts, then the “only one” parts.
  6. Do Level 1 untimed first, then with the 15-minute clock. Move to Level 2 once Level 1 is steady, and then check yourself on a previous year paper.

SSC CGL वेन आरेख (Venn Diagram) चैप्टर टेस्ट — हिंदी में

इस अध्याय में तीन वर्ग (जैसे माताएँ, महिलाएँ, डॉक्टर) देकर सही वेन आरेख चुनना, दिए गए आरेख के लिए सही वर्ग-समूह चुनना, वृत्त, त्रिभुज, आयत और वर्ग वाली आकृति से गिनती करना, किसी भाग को दर्शाने वाली संख्या पहचानना, और दो या तीन समूहों वाले शाब्दिक प्रश्न आते हैं। मूल नियम: वर्गों की दो-दो करके तुलना करें — एक दूसरे के अंदर है, आंशिक रूप से मिलते हैं, या कुछ भी साझा नहीं है।

सबसे आम गलतियाँ: आंशिक मेल को अनदेखा करना (महिलाएँ और डॉक्टर), जिन वर्गों में कुछ साझा नहीं उनके वृत्तों को मिला देना, और ‘लेकिन नहीं’ वाले प्रश्न में बीच वाले भाग की संख्या भी जोड़ लेना।

TrickySSC पर इस अध्याय के सभी टेस्ट हिंदी में उपलब्ध हैं — प्रश्न, विकल्प, विस्तृत हल और शॉर्टकट ट्रिक सब हिंदी में। दो स्तर हैं: लेवल 1 (SSC CGL के स्तर का) और लेवल 2 (SSC CGL से कठिन)। प्रत्येक टेस्ट में 25 प्रश्न, वैकल्पिक 15 मिनट का टाइमर और +2 / −0.5 की वही मार्किंग जो असली परीक्षा में होती है।

SSC CGL Venn Diagram — Frequently Asked Questions

How many Venn diagram questions are asked in SSC CGL?
Usually one question in a Tier I shift, sometimes two. It is one of the quickest marks in the reasoning section once the method is fixed, and the same forms appear in SSC CHSL, MTS and CGL Tier II.
How do I find the right Venn diagram for three classes?
Compare the classes two at a time. For each pair decide whether one lies inside the other, whether they partly overlap, or whether they have nothing in common. Then pick the only picture that shows all three of those relations together.
What does it mean when two circles partly overlap?
Some members belong to both classes, some belong only to the first and some only to the second — for example women and doctors. If every member of one class is in the other, draw it fully inside instead; if no member is shared, keep the circles apart.
How do I answer ‘how many’ questions from a figure?
Mark the shapes the people must be inside and the shapes they must be outside. Add only the numbers in parts that satisfy both. A part counts once, even if it lies inside several shapes.
What is the formula for two- and three-group word problems?
For two groups, n(A or B) = n(A) + n(B) − n(both). For three groups, n(A or B or C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) − the three pair counts + n(all three). Those in none = total − those in at least one.
How many questions are in each test?
Twenty-five questions per test, with an optional 15-minute timer and the real exam marking of +2 for a correct answer, −0.5 for a wrong one and 0 for an unattempted question.
Are the tests available in Hindi?
Yes. Questions, options, detailed solutions and shortcut tricks are available in Hindi, and you choose English or Hindi before the test starts.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 is set at real SSC CGL difficulty — common class relations, three-shape figures and two-group word problems. Level 2 is harder than the exam: subtle relations (a class inside the overlap of two others, a third class cutting only the outer circle), four-shape figures with ‘exactly two’, ‘at least two’ and difference questions, and three-group word problems.
