Topic : SETS

1. A and B are two sets such that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 6.

Find : (i) minimum value of n  A  B  (ii) maximum value of n  A  B  .

2. Write the following in roster form A = { x = x it a possible integer less than 10 and 2 x  1 it an odd
number }.
3. Let A, B, C be three sets such that A  B  A  C and A  B  A  C . Show that B = C.

4. In a survey of 25 students, it was formed that 15 had taken mathematics, 12 had taken physics
and 11 had taken chemistry 5 had taken Maths and Chemistry , 9 had taken 4 had taken Physics and
Chemistry and 3 had taken all the there subjects. Find the numbers of students that had taken
(i) only Chemistry (ii) only Mathematics (iii) only Physics
(iv) Physics and Chemistry but not Maths (v) Maths and Physics but not
Chemistry (vi) Only one of the subjects (vii) At least one of the
three subjects (viii) None of the subjects

5. If A, B, C are three sets and U is the universal set such that n(u) = 800, n(A) = 200 ,n(B) = 300 and
n n  A  B  =100 . Find n  A ' B ' .

7. If P(A)=P(B) show that A = B.

8. For any two sets A and B prove that (i) P  A  B   P( A)  P( B) (ii) P( A)  P( B)  P( A  B) .

9. For any two sets A and B prove that

(i) A – B = A  B ' (ii) (A – B) B   (iii)
( A  B)  ( B  A)  ( A  B)   A  B  .

10. For any sets A, B, C prove that

n( A  B  C)  n( A)  n( B)  n(C)  n( A  B  C)  n  A  B   n  B  C   n  A  C  .

11. If A  B prove that B '  A ' .

12. Find the symmetric difference AB when A = {1, 2, 3} B = {3, 4, 5} .

13. Prove that A – B = A if A  B = .
