Given: Venn diagram

To find:

a. train lines that have a stop at Jena

b. Number of stations along both the Purple Line and the Blue Line

c. stations that are along all three lines

Solution:

A Venn diagram is a pictorial representation of mathematical sets such that as circles are drawn within a rectangle which represents an universal set.
