SETS ETS ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS Choose the correct answer from the given four options in examples (1 to 4): Example 1. If A= (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and B = (2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10), then A AB is equal to @ {1,3) ® {8,9, 10} (©) (24,5, 6) (@) {1,3,8,9, 10) Solution. Given A = {1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6] and B= (2, 4,5, 6, 8,9, 10}, so = {1,3} and B- A= (8,9, 10) AAB=(A-B)U (B-A) = {1,3,8, 9, 10} The correct option is (d). Example 2. Suppose A,, Ay, .. “Arpare ner a each having 5 elements and B,, By, ..., B, are n sets each having 2 elements. Let u A;=S= b Bj. If each element of S belong to exactly 10 of the A,’s and to exactly 4 of the B's, then n is (a) 10 ( 20 (©) 100 @ 50 20 Solution. Given n(A,) =5 and U A; = S. i=l So, the number of elements of S = 20 x 5 = 100. But each element of S belong to exactly 10 of io Ajs. So, the number of distinct elements in = 7 = =10. Alsofn(B).=2and | u B; =S. So, the number BF elements ofS = 2n. Bateach clement ofS belong to exactly 4 ofthe Bs. Sold ramnber cf igtint element 5. = 7 me Thus, 2%, =10=>n=20 2.

If'n(E) = 50, n((AU B)') = 15, n = (A~B) = 12 and n(B - A) = 14, then (ANB) is @o - (® 10 ou @ 12 Solution. n(A U B)= n(€)~n ((A UB)’) “e 50-15 = 35 n(A-B) + n(B~A) = n(A UB) - n(ANB) => 12+14=35n(ANB) => n(ANB)=35-26=9 «.
