6. If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} and C = {2, 4, 8, 10} then verify that A (B C) = (A B)


(A C).

Sol. A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, C = {2, 4, 8, 10}

L.H.S. = A (B C)

= A {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10}

= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

= A

R.H.S. = (A B) (A C)

= {1, 3, 5} {2, 4}

= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

= A = L.H.S.

Short Answer Type Questions :

11. If n(U) = 35, n(A) = 10, n(B) = 15 and n(A B) = 15 then find n(A B).

Sol. n(U) = 35, n(A) = 10

n(B) = 15, n(A B) = 15

n(A) = n(U) n(A) n(B) = n(U) n(B)

10 = 35 n(A) 15 = 35 n(B)

n(A) = 25 n(B) = 20

14. From the sets given below, select the equal sets

A = {1, 4, 8, 16}

B = {4, 8, 12, 16}

C = {16, 8, 1, 4}

D = {x : x = 4n and 1 n 4, n N}

E = {0, 2}

F = {2, 0}

Sol. A = {1, 4, 8, 16} = C = {16, 8, 1, 4}

As, order sets in not significant

for all x A, x C A = C

B = {4, 8, 12, 16}

D = {4, 8, 12, 16}

So, for all x B, x D B = D

E = {0, 2} = F = {2, 0}

Order of the element is not significant,

0, 2 E, F

So, E = F

37. If X and Y are subsets of the universal set U, then show that

(i) Y X Y

(ii) X Y X

(iii) X Y X Y = X

Sol. (i) X Y = {x : x X or x Y}

Thus, x Y x X Y

Hence Y X Y

(ii) X Y = {x : x X and x Y}

Thus, x X Y x X

Hence, X Y X

(iii) x X Y x X

So, X Y X

X Y

x X x Y x X Y

XX Y

Hence, the result X = X Y follows.

How many like only tennis and not cricket? How many like tennis?
Sol. Let the group of people be U
Let C and T be the group of people liking cricket and tennis respectively.

So, people liking only tennis not cricket
= n(T C)
= n(T C) n(C)
= 75 40 = 35
So, people who like tennis = n(T)
n(T) = n(T C) + n(T C)
= 35 + 10 = 45
8. If U = {a, e, i, o, u}
A = {a, e, i}
B = {e, o, u}
C = {a, i, u}
Then verify that A (B C) = (A B) (A C).
Sol. L.H.S. = A (B C)
= {a, e, i} {e, o}[ B C = {e, o}]
= {e}
R.H.S. = (A B) (A C)
= {e} {a, i} ( A B = {e}, A C = {a, i})
= {e}
Hence, L.H.S. = R.H.S. verified.
9. A and B are two sets such that n(A B) = 20 + x, n(B A) = 3x and n(A B) = x + 1. Draw a Venn diagram
to illustrate this information. If n(A) = n(B). Find the value of (i) x (ii) n(A B).
Sol. The Venn diagram
Represents
A B
n(A B) = 20 + x
n(B A) = 3x
20 + x x + 1 3x
n(A B) = x + 1
(i) n(A) = n(B) (given)
n(A B) + n(A B) = n(B A) + n(A B)
20 + x + x + 1 = 3x + x + 1
20 + x = 3x
x = 10
Now, (ii) n(A B) = n(A B) + n(A B) + n(B A)
= 20 + x + x + 1 + 3x

12. If two sets A and B; U, universal set are such that n(A B) = 21, n(A B) = 9 and n(A B) = 8 find
n((A B)).

Sol. n(AB) = 9
n((A B)) = 9 (By de Morgans law)
And n(U) = n(A B) + n((A B))
= 21 + 9

14. A survey on some people showed that 79% of the people like apple, whereas 65% like orange. What % people
like both apples and oranges? (Assuming that each one liked at least one fruit.)

Sol. The total % of people = 100%

Let the A be % of people liking apple = 79%

Let the O be % of people liking orange = 65%

So, n(A O) = 100

n(A) + n(O) n(A O) = 100

79 + 65 n(A O) = 100

n(A O) = 44
So, 44% people like both apples and oranges.

15. A market survey of 200 consumers and reported that 144 consumers liked product A and 90 consumers liked

Let set A denotes the number of people liking product A = a + b = 144

Let set B denotes the number of people liking product B = b + c = 90

of 64 men and only 2 men got medal in all the three sports, how many received medals in exactly two of the
three sports?

Sol. Let F, B, C be the set of people getting medals in football, basketball and cricket respectively

So, n(F) = 40, n(B) = 16, n(C) = 20

The same data can be represented through venn diagram

Let a, b, c be the number of people who got medals in exactly two game i.e., football and basketball, football
and cricket and cricket and football respectively.

And n(F B C) = n(F) + n(B) + n(C) n(F B) n(B C) n(C F) + n(F B C)

n(B) = n

so, n(P(A)) = 2m

n(P(B)) = 2n

It is given that

n(P(A)) n(P(B)) = 60
