In the following diagram, the triangle represents actors, the circle represents musicians and the rectangle represents dancers. The numbers in different segments show the number of persons. How many dancers are musicians but not actors ?
Explanation:
We need to find the number of people who are 'dancers' AND 'musicians' BUT NOT 'actors'. \nLet's identify the regions based on the diagram: - Rectangle represents Dancers. - Circle represents Musicians. - Triangle represents Actors. 1. First, identify the region representing 'dancers' (Rectangle): The numbers within the rectangle are $\{5, 9, 12, 8, 6, 4, 11, 7\}$. 2. Next, identify the region representing 'musicians' (Circle): The numbers within the circle are $\{10, 9, 12, 8, 6, 11, 7\}$. 3. Find the intersection of Dancers and Musicians (numbers common to both Rectangle and Circle): $\{9, 12, 8, 6, 11, 7\}$. These are the dancers who are also musicians. 4. Finally, exclude those who are 'actors' (numbers within the Triangle): The numbers within the triangle are $\{3, 9, 12, 4, 11\}$. \nFrom the intersection $\{9, 12, 8, 6, 11, 7\}$, we remove any numbers that are also in the Triangle. The common numbers are $\{9, 12, 11\}$. \nSo, the numbers representing dancers who are musicians but not actors are $\{8, 6, 7\}$. \nTo find the total count, sum these numbers: $8 + 6 + 7 = 21$. \nAnalyzing the options: (1) 21: This is the sum of the numbers in the region representing dancers and musicians but not actors. This is correct. (2) 12: This number represents individuals who are actors, musicians, and dancers (intersection of all three shapes). This is incorrect. (3) 16: This is not a direct sum of any specific region for the given condition. This is incorrect. (4) 17: This is not a direct sum of any specific region for the given condition. This is incorrect.
