Q.1 The set A = {x : x R, x2 = 16 and 2x = 6} equals :

(A)  (B) {14, 3, 4} (C) {3} (D) {4}
Sol. x2 = 16 x = ± 4
2x = 6  x = 3
There is no value of x which satisfies both the above equations.
Thus, A = 
Hence (A) is the correct answer
Q.2 Let A = {x : x  R, | x | < 1} ; B = {x : x  R, | x – 1 |  1} and A  B = R – D, then the set D is -
(A) {x : 1 < x  2} (B) {x : 1  x  2} (C) {x : 1  x  2} (D) None of these
Sol. A = {x : x  R, –1 < x < 1}
B = {x : x  R, x – 1  –1 or x – 1  1}
= {x : x  R, x  0 or x  2}
A B = R – D
Where D = {x : x  R, 1  x < 2}
Thus (B) is correct answer.
Q.3 If aN = {ax : x  N}, then the set 6N  8N is equal to-
(A) 8N (B) 48 N (C) 12 N (D) 24 N
Sol. (D)
6N = {6, 12, 18, 24, 30, .....}
8N = {8, 16, 24, 32,.......}
 6N  8N = {24, 48, .....} = 24N
Short cut Method
6N  8N = 24 N {24 is the L.C.M. of 6 and 8}
Q.4 If A = {x, y}, then power set of A is -
(A) {xy, yx} (B) {, x, y}
(C) {, {x}{2y}} (D) {, {x}, {y}, {x, y}}
Sol. (D)
Clearly P(A) = Power set of A
= set of all subsets of A= {, {x}, {y}, {x, y}}
 (D) holds.

Q.5 In a group of 1000 people, there are 750 who can speak Hindi and 400 who can speak Bengali. How
many can speak Hindi only? How many can speak Bengali ? How many can speak both Hindi and
Bengali ?
Sol. Let A and B be the sets of persons who can speak Hindi and Bengali respectively.
then n(A  B) = 1000, n(A) = 750, n(B) = 400
Number of persons whos can speak both Hindi and Bengali
= n(A  B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A  B)
= 750 + 400 – 1000 = 150
Number of persons who can speak Hindi only
= n(A – B) = n(A) – n(A  B) = 750 – 150 = 600
Number of persons whos can speak Bengali only
= n(B – A) = n(B) – n(A  B) = 400 – 150 = 250

Q. 14 In a group of 40 students, 26 take tea, 18 take coffee and 8 take neither of the two. How many take
both tea and coffee ?
Sol. n(U) = 40, n(T) = 26, n(C) = 18
n(T'  C') = 8  n(T  C)' = 8
 n(U) – n(T  C) = 8
 n(T  C) = 32
 n(T) + n(C) – n(T  C) = 32
 n(T  C) = 12

Q. 15 In a group of 50 persons, 14 drink tea but not coffee and 30 drink tea, Find

C : People drinking coffee
(i) n(T) = n(T – C) + n(T  C)  30 = 14 + n(T  C)  n(T  C) = 16

(ii) n(C – T) = n(T  C) – n(T) = 50 – 30 = 20
