Venn Diagram
Introduction
Pictorial representation of sets gives most of the ideas about sets and their properties in a much easier way
than the representation of sets given in language form. This pictorial representation is done by means of dia-
grams, known as Venn Diagram.
The objects in a set are called the members or elements of the set.
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are the members or elements of the set A.
If B = {x : x is a positive integer divisible by 5 and x < 25} or, B = {5, 10, 15, 20}, then 5, 10, 15 and 20 are the
elements of the set B.
K
A  B (read as set A intersection set B) is the set having the common elements of both the sets A and B.
A  B (read as set A union set B) is the set having all the elements of the sets A and B. A - B (read as set A minus
set B) is the set having those elements of set A which are not in set B.
In other words, A - B represents the set A exclusively, ie A – B have the elements which are only in A.
Similarly, B - A represents the set B exclusively. We keep it in mind that n(A  B) = n(B  A) and n(A  B)
= n(B  A).
The number of elements of a set A is represented by n(A), but n(A - B)  n(B - A)
KUNDAN
Now, by the above Venn diagram it is obvious that
n(A) = n(A - B) + n(A  B) ..... (1)
n(B) = n(B - A) + n(A  B) ..... (2)
n(A  B) = n(A - B) + n(A  B) + n(B - A) .... (i)
Adding (1) and (2) we get,
n(A) + n(B) = n(A - B) + n(B - A) + n(A  B) + n(A  B)
or, n(A) + n(B) - n(A  B) = n(A - B) + n(B - A) + n(A  B) ... (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
n(A  B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A  B) .... (3)
Let us see some worked out examples given below:
Solved Examples
Ex. 1: In a class of 70 students, 40 like a certain magazine and 37 like another certain magazine. Find
the number of students who like both the magazines simultaneously.
Soln: We have, n(A  B) = 70, n(A) = 40, n(B) = 37
Now, 70 = 40 + 37 – n(A  B)  n(A  B) = 77 – 70 = 7.
Ex. 2: In a group of 64 persons, 26 drink tea but not coffee and 34 drink tea. Find how many drink (i) tea
and coffee both, (ii) coffee but not tea.
Soln: (i) n(T  C) = 64, n(T - C) = 26, n(T) = 34
We have, n(T) = n(T - C) + n(T  C)
or, 34 = 26 + n(T  C)  n(T  C) = 34 – 26 = 8
(ii) Again, we have
n(T  C) = n(T) + n(C) – n(T  C)
or, 64 = 34 + n(C) – 8
 n(C) = 38
Now, n(C) = n(C - T) + n(T  C)
or, 38 = n(C - T) + 8
 n(C – T) = 38 - 8 = 30
Venn Diagram 265
Ex. 3: In a class of 30 students, 16 have opted Mathematics and 12 have opted Mathematics but not
Biology. Find the number of students who have opted Biology but not Mathematics.
Soln: n(M  B) = 30, n(M) = 16, n(M - B) = 12, n(B - M) = ?
We have, n(M) = n(M - B) + n(M  B)
or, 16 = 12 + n(M  B)
 n(M  B) = 16 - 12 = 4
Again, we have, n(M  B) = n(M) + n(B) - n(M  B)
or, 30 = 16 + n(B) – 4
or, n(B) = 30 - 12 = 18
Now, n(B) = n(B – M) + n(M  B)
or, 18 = n(B - M) + 4
 n(B – M) = 18 – 4 = 14
Ex. 4: In a class of 70 students, 40 like a certain magazine and 37 like another while 7 like neither.
(i) Find the number of students who like at least one of the two magazines.
(ii) Find the number of students who like both the magazines simultaneously.
Soln: We have, total number of students = 70 in which 7 do not like any of the magazines.
For our consideration regarding liking of magazines, we are left with (70 – 7 =) 63 students.
Thus, n(A  B) = 63, n(A) = 40, n(B) = 37
K
(i) The number of students who like at least one of the two magazines = n(A  B) = 63.
(ii) The number of students who like both the magazines simultaneously = n(A  B) = ?
We have, n(A  B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A  B)
or, 63 = 40 + 37 – n(A  B)  n(A  B) = 77 – 63 = 14
Ex. 5: In a school, 45% of the students play cricket, 30% play hockey and 15% play both. What per cent
of the students play neither cricket nor hockey?
Soln: n(C) = 45, n(H) = 30, n(C  H) = 15
 n(C  H) = 45 + 30 - 15 = 60
ie, 60% of the students play either cricket or hockey or both.
So, the remaining (100 - 60 =) 40% students play neither cricket nor hockey.
KUNDAN
Ex. 6: Out of a total of 360 musicians in a club 15% can play all the three instruments — guitar, violin
and flute. The number of musicians who can play two and only two of the above instruments is 75.
The number of musicians who can play the guitar alone is 73.
(i) Find the total number of musicians who can play violin alone and flute alone.
(ii) If the number of musicians who can play violin alone be the same as the number of musicians
who can play guitar alone, then find the number of musicians who can play flute.
Soln: (i) Total number of musicians = 360
15% of 360 = 54 musicians can play all the three instruments.

Given that x + y + z = 75
Now, 73 + f + v + (x + y + z =) 75 + 54 = 360
 v + f = 360 – (73 + 75 + 54) = 158
(ii) Now we have v = 73
The number of musicians who can play flute alone,
f = (v + f) – v = 158 – 73 = 85
and the number of musicians who can play flute = f + x + y + 54 = 85 + 54 + (x + y)
We have x + y + z = 75, x + y = 75 - z.
As either x + y or z is unknown, we cannot find out the number of musicians who can play flute.
Hence, data is inadequate.
Ex. 7: Out of a total 85 children playing badminton or table tennis or both, total number of girls in the
group is 70% of the total number of boys in the group. The number of boys playing only badminton
is 50% of the number of boys and the total number of boys playing badminton is 60% of the total
number of boys. The number of children playing only table tennis is 40% of the total number of
children and a total of 12 children play badminton and table tennis both. What is the number of
girls playing only badminton?
7x
Soln: Let the number of boys be x, then x + = 85  x = 50
10
Number of girls = 85 - 50 = 35

Note that A + B + C + F = 250 = 2800 - (650 + 550 + 450 + 400 + 300 +
or 20 + B + C + 194 = 250 200 + 100)
 B + C = 250 - (194 + 20) = 36. = 150.

together ie, 36. 89. 3; L  local language, E  English, H  Hindi
82. 4; Here we need to find out the sum of the values of

hence sum of the values of A, B, D and E can’t
be determined.
