GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• The Daily Practice Problem Sheet contains 30 MCQ's. For each question only one option is correct. Darken the correct
circle/ bubble in the Response Grid provided on each page.
• You have to evaluate your Response Grids yourself with the help of solution booklet.
• Each correct answer will get you 4 marks and 1 mark shall be deduced for each incorrect answer. No mark will be given/
deducted if no bubble is filled. Keep a timer in front of you and stop immediately at the end of 60 min.
• The sheet follows a particular syllabus. Do not attempt the sheet before you have completed your preparation for that
syllabus. Refer syllabus sheet in the starting of the book for the syllabus of all the DPP sheets.
• After completing the sheet check your answers with the solution booklet and complete the Result Grid. Finally spend time
to analyse your performance and revise the areas which emerge out as weak in your evaluation.

(1) (c) Since n(A) = 3 (9) (a) We have (A × B) Ç (C × D) = (A Ç C)× (B Ç D)
\ number of subsets of A is 23 = 8 On replacing C by B and D by A, we get
(2) (a) We have P(f) = {f} (A × B) Ç (B × A) = (A Ç B) × (B Ç A)
\ P(P(f)) = {f, {f}} It is given that A Ç B has n elements so
Hence, n{P[P(f)]} = 2 (A Ç B) × (B Ç A) has n2 elements
(3) (a) A È B = {x : x is an odd integer} È {x : x is an even But (A × B) Ç (B × A) = (A Ç B) × (B Ç A)
integer} = {x : x is an integer} = Z
\ (A × B) Ç (B × A) has n 2 elements
(4) (b) We have,
x Î A Ç B Þ x = 3n, n Î Z and x = 4n, n Î Z Hence A × B and B × A have n 2 elements in common.
Þ x is a multiple of 3 and x is a multiple of 4 (10) (a) n(A È B È C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(AÇ B)
Þ x is a multiple of 3 and 4 both –n(B Ç C) – n(A Ç C) + n(A Ç B Ç C)
Þ x is a multiple of 12 Þ x = 12n, n Î Z (11) (c) n(A¢ È B¢) = n(A Ç B)¢ = n(U) – n(A Ç B)
Hence A Ç B = {x : x = 12n, n Î Z} (12) (b) n(A¢ Ç B¢) = n(A È B)¢ = n(U) – n(A È B)
(5) (b) We have, n(A È B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A Ç B). (13) (d) (i) A È A = {x : x Î A or x Î A} = {x : x Î A}=A
This shows that n(A È B) is minimum when n(A Ç B) (ii) A Ç A = {x : x Î A & x Î A} = {x : x Î A}=A
is maximum.
(iii) A È f = {x : x Î A or x Î f} = {x : x Î A} = A
This is possible only when A Í B.
(14) (d) For any two sets A and B, we have
In this case, n(A Ç B) = n(A) = 3
\ n(A È B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A Ç B) = 3 + 6 – 3 (i) A È B = B È A and (ii) A Ç B = B Ç A
=6 i.e. union and intersection of any two sets are
So, minimum number of elements in A È B is 6. commutative.
(6) (c) From Venn-Euler's Diagram, (15) (d) If A, B and C are any three sets then
(i) (A È B) È C = A È (B È C)
C U (ii) (A Ç B) Ç C = A Ç (B Ç C)
A ÇBÇC C–A i.e. union and intersection are associative.
(iii) A È (B Ç C) = (A È B) Ç (A È C)
i.e. union and intersection are distributive over
A–B B–C intersection and union respectively.
A B (16) (d) Let x be an arbitrary element of (A È B)¢ .
Clearly, {(A – B) È (B – C) È (C – A)}' = A Ç B Ç C. Then x Î (A È B)¢ Þ x Ï (A È B)
(7) (a) A – B = {2, 4, 6} Þ x Ï A and x Ï B Þ x Î (A¢ Ç B¢)
(8) (c) Let A denote the set of Americans who like cheese \ (A È B¢) Í A¢ Ç B¢
and let B denote the set of Americans who like apples. Again let y be an arbitrary element of A¢ Ç B¢.
Let Population of America be 100. Then y Î A¢ Ç B¢ Þ y Î A¢ and y Î B¢ Þ y Ï A and
Then n(A) = 63, n(B) = 76 yÏB
Now, n(A È B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A Ç B) Þ y Ï (A È B) Þ y Î (A È B)¢
= 63 + 76 – n(A Ç B) \ A¢ Ç B¢ Í (A È B)¢. Hence (A È B)¢ = A¢ Ç B¢
\ n(A È B) + n(A Ç B) = 139 Similarly we can see (A Ç B)¢ = A¢ È B¢
Þ n(A Ç B) = 139 – n(A È B) (17) (a) Let A and B be the sets of persons who can speak
But n(A È B) £ 100 \ - n(A È B) ³ -100 Hindi and Bengali respectively.
then n (A È B) = 1000, n (A) = 750, n (B) = 400
Þ 139 – n(A È B) ³ 139 – 100 = 39
Number of persons who can speak both hindi and
Þ n(A Ç B) ³ 39 i.e., 39 £ n(A Ç B) ..... (i) bengali
Now, A Ç B Í A, A Ç B Í B = n (A Ç B) = n (A) + n (B) – n (A È B)
Þ n(A Ç B) £ n(A) = 63 and = 750 + 400 – 1000 = 150
Number of persons who can speak Hindi only
n(A Ç B) £ n(B) = 76
= n (A – B) = n (A) – n (A Ç B) = 750 – 150 = 600
Þ n(A Ç B) £ 63 ..... (ii) (18) (b) Number of persons whose can speak Bengali only
Then, 39 £ n(A Ç B) £ 63 Þ 39 £ x £ 63 . = n (B – A) = n (B) – n (A Ç B) = 400 – 150 = 250

There is no value of x which satisfies both the above (24) (b) (1) All disjoint sets are not complementary sets but
equations. Thus A = f. all complementary sets are disjoint.

B = [x : x Î R, x – 1 £ –1 or x – 1 ³ 1] x2, ..., xn} then the total number of subsets of X

(2) n (AÈB) = n (A) + n(B), if A & B are disjoint

(1) (3) n (A – B) = n (A) – n (A Ç B)
(26) (a) Given A × B = {(a, b) : a Î A and b Î B

(27) (a) If number of elements in A : n(A) = m and number of
elements in B : n (B) = n then number of elements in
(A × B) = m × n
(28) (d) A × B = {(a, b) : a Î A and b Î B
B × A = {(b, a) ; b Î B and a Î A}
Clearly A × B ¹ B × A, until A and B are equal
(2) Since A × B contains all ordered pairs of the type
(a, b) such that a Î A & b Î B, that means it includes
all possibilities in which the elements of set A can be
related with the elements of set B. Therefore, A × B is
termed as largest possible relation defined from set A
