Which of the following is the empty set?
⇒ x2 + 1 = 0
⇒ x2 = −1
⇒ x = ± √-1
i.e., x is an imaginary number.
Hence {x : x is a real number and x2 + 1 = 0} is an empty set.
What is the cardinality of the set of odd positive integers less than 10?
Consider the following relations:
(i) A - B = A - (A ∩ B)
(ii) A = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A - B)
(iii) A - (B ∪ C) = (A - B) ∪ (A - C)
Which of these is/are correct?
Using the Venn Diagram,
(i) A - B = A - (A ∩ B) is true
(ii) A = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A - B) is true
(iii) A - (B ∪ C) = (A - B) ∪ (A - C) is false
If A and B be any two sets, then (A ∪ B)' is equal to:
By applying De Morgan's Law,
(A U B)' = A' ∩ B'
The smallest set A such that A ∪ {1, 2} = {1, 2, 3, 5, 9} is:
A ∪ {1, 2} = {1, 2, 3, 5, 9}
If A = {3, 5, 9}
Then, A ∪ {1, 2} = {1, 2, 3, 5, 9}
So, the minimum set of A = {3, 5, 9}
In a city, 20 per cent of the population travels by car, 50 per cent travels by bus and 10 per cent travels by both car and bus. Then persons travelling by car or bus is:
n(Persons travelling by car) = 20 = n(C)
n(Persons travelling by bus) = 50 = n(B)
n(Persons travelling by both car and bus) = 10 = n(C ∩ B)
∴ n(C ∪ B) = n(C) + n(B) - n(C ∩ B)
= 20 + 50 - 10
= 60
Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, A = {1, 2, 5}, B = {6, 7}. Then A ∩ B’ is:
In the rule method, the null set is represented by:
If A and B are two sets, then A ∪ B = A ∩ B if:
If A ∪ B = A ∩ B then A = B.
Example: Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} & B = {1, 2, 3, 4}
(AUB) = (A⋂B)
⇒{1,2,3,4} = {1,2,3,4}
If A = {2, 3, 4, 8, 10}, B = {3, 4, 5, 10, 12}, C = {4, 5, 6, 12, 14} then (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) is equal to:
A = {2, 3, 4, 8, 10}
B = {3, 4, 5, 10, 12}
C = {4, 5, 6, 12, 14}
► (A ∩ B) = {3,4,10}
► (A ∩ C) = {4}
► (A ∩ B) U (A ∩ C) = {3,4,10}
The shaded region in the given figure is:
Let A and B be two sets containing four and two elements respectively.Then the number of subsets of the set A × B,each having atleast three elements is:
⇒ Number of elements in Set A = 4
⇒ Number of elements in Set B = 2
∴ Number of elements in set (A × B) = 8
∴ Total number of subsets of (A×B) = 28 = 256
⇒ Number of subsets having 0 elements = 8C0 = 1
⇒ Number of subsets having 1 element = 8C1 = 8
⇒ Number of subsets having 2 elements = 8C2 = 28
∴ Number of subsets having atleast 3 elements = 256 - 1 - 8 - 28 = 219
Let A and B be two sets then (A ∪ B)′ ∪ (A′ ∩ B) is equal to:
From Venn-Euler's Diagram
∴ (A ∪ B)′ ∪ (A′ ∩ B) = A′
The number of elements in the set {(a, b) : 2a2 + 3b2 = 35, a, b ∈ Z}, where Z is the set of all integers, is:
Given n(U) = 20, n(A) = 12, n(B) = 9, n(A ∩ B) = 4, where U is the universal set, A and B are subsets of U, then n((A ∪ B)c) =
In a certain town, 25% families own a cell phone,15% families own a scooter and 65% families own neither a cell phone nor a scooter. If 1500 families own both a cell phone and a scooter, then the total number of families in the town is:
Step-by-step Explanation:
Since we have given that,
Percentage of families own a cell phone = 25%
Percentage of families own a scooter = 15%
Percentage of families neither own = 65%
So, it becomes,
P(C ∪ S)' = 1 - P(C ∪ S)
0.65 = 1 - P(C ∪ S)
1 - 0.65 = P(C ∪ S)
P(C ∪ S) = 0.35
So, it becomes,
P(C ∪ S) = P(C) + P(S) - P(C ∩ S)
0.35 = 0.25 + 0.15 - x
0.35 = 0.40 - x
x = 0.05
Thus, 0.05 x Total number of families in town = 1500
Total number of families in the town =
1500 / 0.05 = 30,000
Hence, the total number of families in the town is 30,000.
If A = {2, 3, 4, 8, 10}, B = {3, 4, 5, 10, 12} and C = {4, 5, 6, 12, 14}, then (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C) is equal to:
A = {2,3,4,8,10}, B = {3,4,5,10,12} and C = {4,5,6,12,14}
⇒ (AUB) = {2,3,4,5,8,10,12}
⇒ (AUC) = {2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,14}
⇒ (AUB) ⋂ (AUC) = {2,3,4,5,8,10,12}
If A = {2, 4, 5}, B = {7, 8, 9}, then n(A × B) is equal to:
n(A × B) = n(A).n(B)
⇒ 3 × 3 = 9
A × B = {(2, 7), (2, 8), (2, 9), (4, 7), (4,8), (4, 9), (5, 7), (5, 8), (5, 9)}
If A and B are disjoint, then n (A ∪ B) is equal to:
As n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
But in case of disjoint sets, n(A ∩ B) = 0
∴ n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B)
The number of non-empty subsets of the set {1, 2, 3, 4} is:
The number of non-empty subsets = 2n − 1 = 24 − 1 = 16 − 1 = 15
The subsets are:
[{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {1,4}, {2,3}, {2,4}, {3,4}, {1,2,4}, {1,2,3}, {1,3,4} ,{2,3,4}, {1,2,3,4}]
The set of intelligent students in a class is:
As the opinions of different person is different about the intelligent student. So, we can't exactly have the same student's name in a set, hence it is not a well-defined collection.
If A and B are two sets, then A ∩ (B − A) is:
A ∩ (B − A) = ψ,[∵ x ∈ B − A ⇒ x∉ A]
If n(A) = 3, n(B) = 6 and A ⊆ B. Then the number of elements in A ∪ B is equal to:
Since A ⊆ B
∴ A ∪ B = B
So, n(A ∪ B) = n(B) = 6
In a class of 100 students, 55 students have passed in Mathematics and 67 students have passed in Physics. Then the number of students who have passed in Physics only is:
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7}, then A - B = ?
