13 In a bid to encourage Singaporeans to go Green for the environment, Singapore Power Grid Pte
Ltd conducted a survey to find out the extent of Singaporeans’ readiness in this drive.
Out of a total of 200 Singaporeans surveyed, 130 claimed that they used energy-efficient electrical
appliances while 80 claimed that they had replaced using air-conditioners with electric fans. The
survey also revealed that 30 neither used energy-efficient electrical appliances nor replaced air-
conditioners with electric fans.
If ξ, E and A represent the sets of Singaporeans surveyed, and those who used energy-efficient
electrical appliances and those who replaced using air-conditioners with electric fans respectively,
(i) draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the above information.
(ii) Find the number of Singaporeans who used energy-efficient electrical appliances and had
replaced using air-conditioners with electric fans.
(iii) Find the number of Singaporeans who had started using energy-efficient electrical
appliances but still had not replaced air-conditioners with electric fans.
