Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
We need the region that is inside the triangle (girls), inside the square (lawyers) and inside the rectangle (honest) but outside the circle (judges). Locate the overlap of the triangle, the square and the rectangle.
Exclude any part of that overlap which falls inside the circle (those would be judges).
Identify the number located in the remaining region.
That remaining region contains the number 12 , so the answer is 12.
