VENN_DIAGRAMS \ Syllabus : Venn diagrams. Cardinal properties of sets. , Venn Diagrams \__ To express the relationship among sets in a more significant way, we represent them Pictorially by means of diagrams. These diagrams are known as Venn diagrams. The universal set is represented by a rectangle and its subsets by circles (or close bounded figures), drawn inside this rectangle. Venn-Diagrams in Different Situations I. Given : A c & where & is the universal set. Let § = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} and A = (2, 4, 6). \ @ First draw a rectangle to represent &, ‘ (i) Draw a circle (or a closed bounded figure) inside the A rectangle to represent A. . (ii) Write the elements of A inside the closed bounded figure and the remaining elements of &, outside it, in the rectangle, as shown in the figure. Clearly, the shaded region represents A’. « A’ = (1, 3, 5, 7}. Il. Given : Two intersecting subsets A and’B of &. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), A= (1, 3, 4, 5) and B = (2, 4, 5, 6). i) We draw a rectangle to represent &. A i) Since A and B are overlapping sets, we draw two |, overlapping closed bounded figures inside the rectangle to i represent A and B. (iii) In the common portion of closed bounded figures, we write the elements comr to both A and B. (iv) In the remaining portion of A, we write those elements of A which are not ir (v) In the remaining portion of B, we write those elements of B which are not i (vi) Remaining elements of § are written in the rectangle, outside these clc bounded figures. JIL. Given : Two disjoint subsets A and B of & Let & = (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}, A = (5, 7, 9} and B = (4, 6, 8). (i) Draw a rectangle to represent E. CECE (ii) Inside this rectangle, draw two disjoint closed bounded figures to represent A and B. ii?) Write the elements of A and B inside their respective €) regions and the remaining elements of & in the rectangle, | A as shown in the figure. IV. Given : BCA cE Let & = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), A = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) and B = (2, 4, 8). @ Draw a rectangle to represent &. (i) Inside the rectangle, draw a closed bounded figure to represent B, (iii) Since B c A, draw a larger closed bounded figure containing the figure representing B. (iv) Write the elements of B inside the smaller closed bounded region and the remaining elements of A, in between the two figures. (v) Remaining elements of § are written in the rectangle, outside these closed bounded Gigures. Look at the Venn diagrams given below. The sets represented by the shaded regions are given with the diagrams. § § 5 .
