The question given below contains three elements. These elements may or may not have some inter linkage. Each group of elements may fit into one of these diagrams at (A), (B), (C), (D) and/or (E). You have to indicate the group of elements which correctly fits into the diagrams. Which of the following diagrams indicates the best relation between Furniture, Chairs and Tables ?

Show answer & explanation
Concept: In a classification / logical Venn diagram question, when a broad category (like Furniture) covers two specific categories (Chairs, Tables) that never share a member with each other, the correct diagram is one large circle for the broad category with two separate, non-overlapping smaller circles inside it for the two specific categories.
Application: The statement gives two facts about Furniture, Chairs and Tables together.
Every chair is a piece of furniture and every table is a piece of furniture, so Chairs and Tables are both fully contained inside Furniture.
No chair is a table, so Chairs and Tables never overlap with each other — they are mutually exclusive.
Putting both facts together: Furniture must be the outer circle, and Chairs, Tables must be two separate circles drawn inside it that do not touch or overlap.
Cross-check: checking this against the other three diagrams confirms it is the only one that fits both facts at once.
Three circles that all mutually overlap one another would wrongly allow Chairs and Tables to share members with each other, and would show only partial membership in Furniture instead of full containment — this does not fit.
One circle drawn fully inside another, plus a third fully separate circle, treats only one of Chairs or Tables as a subset of Furniture while leaving the other as a totally unrelated category — this does not fit either fact for both categories at once.
Three fully separate circles treat Furniture, Chairs and Tables as three unrelated categories, missing that chairs and tables are furniture at all — this fails the first fact entirely.
Result: the diagram with one large circle (Furniture) containing two separate, non-overlapping smaller circles (Chairs and Tables) is the correct relation.
