Solutions (Step-1)
SECTION - A
1. Answer (2)
2. Answer (1)
A=
B = {0}
C = {3}
So, A is a null set.
3. Answer (3)
(i) The given set is {3, 4}. Hence, it is finite.
(ii) The given set is the set of all prime numbers and it is infinite.
(iii) The given set is so, it is finite.
(iv) The given set is {3, –3}. Hence it is finite.
4. Answer (1)
(i) False, 1, 2 are elements of A but set {1, 2} is not element of A, so, {1, 2}A.
(ii) {1, 2, 7} A. True
(iii) {5, 6} is an element of set A {{5, 6}}A. It is true.
(iv) is subset of every set. It is true.
5. Answer (3)
A = {G, O, D}
Proper subsets of A are
, {G}, {O}, {D}, {G, O}, {G, D}, {O, D}
6. Answer (4)
Let the number of elements of A be m
n(P(A)) = 128
2m = 128
2m = 27
m=7

2 Basics of Mathematics Solutions of Assignment (Step-1)
7. Answer (1)
n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B)
30 = 20 + 12 – n(A B)
n(A B) = 32 – 30
n(A B) = 2
8. Answer (3)
n(U) = 35, n(A) = 10
n(B) = 15, n(A B) = 15
n(A) = n(U) – n(A) n(B) = n(U) – n(B)
10 = 35 – n(A) 15 = 35 – n(B)
n(A) = 25 n(B) = 20
So, n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B)
n(A B) = 25 + 20 – 15
n(A B) = 30
9. Answer (1)
U = {A, E, X, C, L, N, T, B, O, K}

11. Answer (1)
n(U) = 50, n(A) = 30, n(A B) = 15
n((A B)) = 10
n(U) – n(A B) = 10
50 – n(A B) = 10

n(A B) = 40
and n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B)
40 = 30 + n(B) – 10
n(B) = 40 – 20
n(B) = 20
n(B – A) = n(B) – n(A B)
= 20 – 10 = 10

13. Answer (3)
14. Answer (2)
Number of proper subsets = 24 – 1 = 15
15. Answer (1)
D = {6, 12, 18}
B = {6, 12, 18, 24}
Then D – B =
16. Answer (1)
n(A) = 40, n(B) = 35
40 = 40 + 35 – n(A B)
n(A B) = 35
17. Answer (2)
n(U) = 60
m(M) = 30, n(S) = 25, n(M S) = 15
n(M S) = n(M) + n(S) – n(M S)
= 30 + 25 – 15
= 40
18. Answer (4)
Statement-2 is correct but Statement-1 is incorrect as 1 is not a prime number.
19. Answer (1)
Statement-1 and 2 both are correct and Statement-2 is correct explanation of Statement-2.

Let A = Sum of all numbers which are divisible by 2 upto 100
B = Sum of all numbers which are divisible by 3 upto 100
C = Sum of all numbers which are divisible by 5 upto 100
D = Sum of all numbers which are divisible by 17 upto 100
A B C D = (A + B + C + D) – (A B + A C + A D + B C + B D + C D) + (A B C

37. Answer (29)
X = {1, 2, 3, 4, …, 50}
A = {2, 4, 6, 8, …, 50}
B = {7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49}
Here n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B)
= 29.
Number of elements in smallest subset of X containing both A and B is 29.
If we write the elements of A + A, we can certainly find 39 distinct elements as 1 + 1, 1 + a1, 1 + a2,…..1
+ a18, 1 + 77, a1 + 77, a2 + 77,……a18 + 77, 77 + 77.
It means all other sums are already present in these 39 values, which is only possible in case when all

(B C) = B C
So, we need to calculate number of subsets of {3, 4, 5, 6, 7} whose sum of elements plus 1 is composite.
Number of such 3 elements subset = 6 (except selecting {3, 4, 5}, {3, 6, 7}, {4, 5, 7} or {5, 6, 7})
Number of such 2 elements subset = 7 (except selecting {3, 7}, {4, 6}, {5, 7})
