Q37. Venn diagrams are the diagrams that are used to represent the sets, relation between the sets and operation 4
performed on them, in a pictorial way. Venn diagram, introduced by John Venn (1834-1883), uses circles
(overlapping, intersecting and non-intersecting), to denote the relationship between sets. A Venn diagram is
also called a set diagram or a logic diagram showing different set operations such as the intersection of
sets, union of sets and difference of sets.
