Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P = 6; Q = 5; R = 3

Explanation

The number written in a region is the sum of the numbers of the shapes that contain it. The part shared by the rectangle (1) and the ellipse (3) shows 4, which confirms this rule. P lies inside all three shapes, so $P = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6$. Q lies in the triangle and the ellipse only, so $Q = 2 + 3 = 5$. R lies in the rectangle and the triangle only, so $R = 1 + 2 = 3$.
