According to me, option d is correct.

I think answers are depending on views. So how can we fit this?

OK people, lets put it the right way. No more confusion.

Option D could have been the best answer if there had been some intersecting region between the two small circles(inside the bigger circle), as people can travel by bus as well as train.
Option C is right because our approach is this way : 1. try to relate stuff 2. Do not lead to any contradiction.

Following the approach:
1. we related stuff in option D Closer than option C (hope you get what i mean by it)
2. But it lead to contradiction(as people can travel by bus as well as train.)
3. Now, trace back to the previous case, i.e. option C.

More Generally, the steps can be:

1. Arrange the options in order of increasing relationship.
ex. in this case A is more related than B.
C is more related than B.
D is more related than C.
therefore, the order is B, A, C, D.

2. Try to find some contradiction in The most related option.
ex. here it is D.

3. If contradiction not found
-> That is your answer
If contradiction found --> Repeat step 2 for the option immediately preceding The option you are on now.
Ex. We found contradiction for D.( people travel by bus & train both)
The option imm. preceding D is C, Therefore, Check For C.

No contradiction found for C, C is your Answer.
Note: This is an algorithm prepared by me for my own use. I don't claim validity of this algorithm. Still, It lands me on the correct option every time i have used it.

@Deepak : Answer cannot be D because people can travel by bus as well as train.

@Arun : Answer cannot be D because; the key to solving these type of questions is finding some kind of relationship among the given stuff. You are trying exactly opposite of it.

Option D is correct. Because travelers is a big circle and small circle is bus and train.

I agree that Option "C" is absolutely correct.

Advaita said:   9 years ago
Clearly, option C is correct cause if we choose D, then it would mean that only travellers use buses and trains.

But option C clarifies that in a bus, some may be travellers and others may not. Some travellers use the bus, some use the train, some use both while some use some other means of transport.

I think option D is correct. Because both train and bus different but come under travelers.

Venn Master said:   9 years ago
Here we go: Option D is not correct because All travelers do not travel by bus or train, they can travel on a plane, a boat or even walk.

But option C is not correct because there is no relation given for the travelers who travel by both bus and train, so the answer is the figure of question 2, option C.

Since option C is wrong we are forced to consider option B because there is a possibility of no relation among the three. Here is why, Travelers are humans, bus and train are just vehicles and we cannot combine bus and train since the word vehicle is not given in the question.
