Practice Venn Diagram in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A diagram using overlapping circles to visually represent sets and their relationships such as union, intersection, and complement.

Each circle represents a set; overlapping regions show shared elements; the rectangle border is the universal set.

Showing a random 20 of 50 problems.

Example 1

easy
In a Venn diagram with universe U drawn as a rectangle, what does the region OUTSIDE both circles represent?

Example 2

easy
If circle A is drawn entirely inside circle B in a Venn diagram, what relationship holds?

Example 3

medium
A Venn diagram has 'A only' = 2x, overlap = x, 'B only' = 3x. If ∣A∪B∣=36, find x.

Example 4

medium
A Venn diagram shows: only A=10, only B=8, both =5, neither =7. What is the total number of elements in the universe?

Example 5

easy
In a Venn diagram, which region is 'in A but not in B'?

Example 6

easy
Use inclusion–exclusion: ∣A∣=12, ∣B∣=9, ∣A∩B∣=4. Find ∣A∪B∣.

Example 7

challenge
A three-circle Venn diagram has ∣A∣=∣B∣=∣C∣=20, each pairwise overlap (total) =8, and all three =3. Find the number in exactly one circle.

Example 8

easy
If sets A and B are disjoint, how do their circles look in a Venn diagram?

Example 9

medium
Which region in a Venn diagram represents (A∪B)c?

Example 10

medium
Two circles overlap in a Venn diagram. Does the overlap GUARANTEE the sets share elements?

Example 11

easy
In a class of 25, 13 play soccer, 11 play basketball, 4 play both. How many play only soccer?

Example 12

easy
A Venn diagram shows 5 in 'A only', 3 in the overlap, 4 in 'B only'. How many are in A∪B?

Example 13

challenge
Three sets A,B,C satisfy ∣A∩B∣+∣A∩C∣+∣B∩C∣=42 and ∣A∩B∩C∣=10. How many elements lie in exactly two of the three sets?

Example 14

medium
In a class of 30, a Venn diagram shows 14 take art, 18 take music, 6 take both. How many take art only?

Example 15

medium
A Venn diagram shows 'A only' =6, overlap =4, 'B only' =5. Find ∣A∩B∣.

Example 16

medium
Three-circle Venn diagram: the very center region represents which set operation on A, B, C?

Example 17

medium
∣A∪B∣=30, ∣A∣=22, ∣B∣=17. Find ∣A∩B∣.

Example 18

medium
Given ∣A∣=20, ∣B∣=15, ∣A∪B∣=28, find ∣A∩B∣ using the inclusion-exclusion principle.

Example 19

medium
A Venn diagram for A and B has 'A only' =x, overlap =7, 'B only' =9, and ∣A∣=15. Find x.

Example 20

easy
A Venn diagram has 'A only' =7, overlap =4, 'B only' =6. Find ∣A∣.
