Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: No woman is a member of the Tennis club
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This question combines a subset relation with an exclusion statement. If Tennis ⊆ Badminton and no woman plays Badminton, then women are excluded from every subset of Badminton, including the Tennis club.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Exclusion propagates downward through subsets: if a group is barred from a superset, it is barred from all its subsets. Therefore the women-exclusion at Badminton level automatically blocks membership in Tennis.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Assume for contradiction that some woman is a Tennis member.Because Tennis ⊆ Badminton, she would then be a Badminton player.This contradicts “No woman plays Badminton.” Thus no woman can be a Tennis member.
Verification / Alternative check:
A Venn diagram with Tennis circle entirely inside Badminton and with the entire Badminton circle labeled “no women” shows Tennis shares the same exclusion.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “subset” with “disjoint,” or reading the second statement as “no woman is a Badminton club member” in a weaker, non-playing sense (the logic here is about playing/membership as stated).
Final Answer:
No woman is a member of the Tennis club.
