Question 12 Marks
Is it true that for any sets A and B, $P(A) \cup P(B) = P(A \cup B)?$Justify your answer.
Answer
No, it is not true.
Take A = {1, 2} ad B = {2, 3}
Then $A \cup B = \{ 1,2,3\} $
$P(A) = \{ \phi ,\{ 1\} ,\{ 2\} ,\{ 1,2\} \}$
$P(B) = \{ \phi ,\{ 2\} ,\{ 3\} ,\{ 2,3\} \}$
$\therefore P(A) \cup P(B) = \{ \phi ,\{ 1\} ,\{ 2\} ,\{ 3\} ,\{ 1,2\} ,\{ 2,3\} \} $ . . (i)
$A \cup B = \{ 1,2,3\}$

$P(A \cup B) = \{ \phi \}$,{1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 3}} . . . (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
$P(A \cup B) \ne P(A) \cup P(B)$

Question 22 Marks
Assume that P(A) = P(B) show that A = B.
Answer
Let $X \in A \Rightarrow \{ x\} \in P(A)$
$\Rightarrow \{ x\} \in P(B)\,[\because P(A) = P(B)]$
$\Rightarrow X \notin B$
$\therefore A \subset B$. . . (i)
Let $X \in B \Rightarrow \{ x\} \in P(B)$
$\Rightarrow \{ X\} \in P(A)\,[\because \,P(A) = P(B)]$
$ \Rightarrow X \in A$. . . (ii)
$\therefore B \subset A$
From (i) and (ii) we have A = B

Question 32 Marks
Let A, B and C be the sets such that $A \cup B = A \cup C$ and $A \cap B = A \cap C$ Show that B = C.
Answer
We know that $A = A \cap (A \cup B)$ and $A = A \cup (A \cap B)$
Now $A \cap B = A \cap C$ and $A \cup B = A \cup C$
$\therefore B = B \cup (B \cap A) = B \cup (A \cap B) = B \cup (A \cap C)$$[\because \,A \cap B = A \cap C]$
$ = (B \cup A) \cap (B \cup C)$ (By distributive law)
$ = (A \cup C) \cap (B \cup C)$
$ = (A \cup C) \cap (B \cup C)$ $[\because \,A \cup B = A \cup C]$
$ = (C \cup A) \cap (C \cup B)$
$= C \cup (A \cap B)$ (by distributive law)
$ = C \cup (A \cap C)$ $[\because \,A \cap B = A \cap C]$
$ = C \cup (C \cap A) = C$
Hence B = C.

Question 42 Marks
In a survey of 60 people, it was found that 25 people read newspaper H, 26 read newspaper T, 26 read newspaper I, 9 read both H and I, 11 read both H and T, 8 read both T and I, 3 read all three newspapers.
Find the number of people who read exactly one newspaper.
Answer
Here
n(U) = a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h = 60 ....(i)
n(H) = a + b + c +d = 25 ....(ii)
n(T) = b + c + f + g = 26 .....(iii)
n(I) = c + d + e + f = 26 ....(iv)
$n(H \cap I) $ = c + d = 9 ....(v)
$n(H \cap T) $= b + c = 11 .....(vi)
$n(T \cap I) $ = c + f = 8 .....(vii)
$n(H \cap T \cap I) $ = c = 3 ....(viii)

Putting value of c in (vii),
3 + f = 8 $\Rightarrow$ f = 5
Putting value of c in (vi),
3 + b = 11 $\Rightarrow$ b = 8
Putting values of c in (v),
3 + d = 9 $\Rightarrow$ d = 6
Putting value of c, d, f in (iv),
3 + 6 + e + 5 = 26 $\Rightarrow$ e = 26 - 14= 12
Putting value of b, c, f in (iii),
8 + 3 + 5 + g = 26 $\Rightarrow$ g = 26 - 16= 10
Putting value of b, c, d in (ii)
a + 8 + 3 + 6 = 25 $\Rightarrow$ a = 25 - 17 = 8
Number of people who read exactly one newspapers
= a + e + g
= 8 + 12 + 10 = 30

Question 52 Marks
In a survey of 60 people, it was found that 25 people read newspaper H, 26 read newspaper T, 26 read newspaper I, 9 read both H and I, 11 read both H and T, 8 read both T and I, 3 read all three newspapers.
Find the number of people who read at least one of the newspaper.
Answer
Here
n(U) = a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h = 60 ....(i)
n (H) = a + b + c +d = 25 ....(ii)
n(T) = b + c + f + g = 26 .....(iii)
n(I) = c + d + e + f = 26 ....(iv)
$n(H \cap I) $ = c + d = 9 .....(v)
$n(H \cap T) $ = b + c = 11 .....(vi)
$n(T \cap I) $ = c + f = 8 ....(vii)
$n(H \cap T \cap I) $ = c = 3 ....(viii)

Putting value of c in (vii),
3 + f = 8 $\Rightarrow$ f = 5
Putting value of c in (vi),
3 + b = 11 $\Rightarrow$ b = 8
Putting values of c in (v),
3 + d = 9 $\Rightarrow$ d = 6
Putting value of c, d, f in (iv),
3 + 6 + e + 5 = 26 $\Rightarrow$ e = 26 - 14 = 12
Putting value of b, c, f in (iii),
8 + 3 + 5 + g = 26 $\Rightarrow$ g = 26 - 16 = 10
Putting value of b, c, d in (ii)
a + 8 + 3 + 6 = 25 $\Rightarrow$ a = 25 - 17 = 8
Number of people who read at least one of the three newspapers
= a + b + c + d + e + f + g
= 8 + 8 + 3 + 6 + 12 + 5 + 10 = 52

Question 62 Marks
In a group of students, 100 students know Hindi, 50 know English and 25 know both. Each of the students knows either Hindi or English. How many students are there in the group?
Answer
Let H be the set of students who know Hindi and E be the set of students who know English.
Here n(H) = 100, n(E) = 50 and $n(H \cap E) = 25$
We know that $n(H \cup E) = n(H) + n(E) - n(H \cap E)$
= 100 + 50 - 25 = 125.

Question 72 Marks
In a survey of 600 students in a school, 150 students were found to be taking tea and 225 taking coffee, 100 were taking both tea and coffee. Find how many students were taking neither tea nor coffee.
Answer
Let T be the set of students who like tea and C be the set of students who like coffee.
Here n(T) = 150, m (C) = 225 and $n(C \cap T) = 100$
We know that $n(C \cup T) = n(C) + n(T) - n(C \cap T)$
= 150 + 225 - 100 = 275
$\therefore$Number of students taking either tea or coffee += 275
$\therefore$Number of students taking neither tea nor coffee = 600 - 275 = 325

Question 112 Marks
Find the pairs of equal sets, if any, give reasons: $A = {0}, B = \{x : x > 15$ and $x < 5\}, C = \{x : x – 5 = 0\}, D = \{x: x^2 = 25\}, E =\{x : x$ is an integral positive root of the equation $x^2 – 2x –15 = 0\}$
Answer
Since $0 \in A$ and $0$ does not belong to any of the sets $B, C, D$ and $E, $ Therefore, $A \ne B, A \ne C, A \ne D, A \ne E.$
Since $B = \phi$ but none of the other sets are empty. Therefore $B \ne C, B \ne D$ and $B \ne E.$
Also $C = \{5\} but –5 \in D,$ hence $C \ne D.$
Since $E = \{5\}, C = E$. Further, $D = \{–5, 5\}$ and $E = \{5\},$ we find that, $D \ne E.$
Therefore, the only pair of equal sets is $C$ and $E.$

Question 122 Marks
For sets A and B, show that: $P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cap P(B)$
Answer
Let $x \in P(A \cap B)$
$\Rightarrow x \subset (A \cap B)$
$\Rightarrow x \subset A$ and $x \subset B$
$\Rightarrow x \in P(A)$ and $x \in P(B)$
$\Rightarrow x \in P(A) \cap P(B)$
$\Rightarrow x \subset P(A) \cap P(B)$
$\therefore P(A \cap B) \subset P(A) \cap P(B)$. . . (i)
Let $x \in P(A) \cap P(B)$
$\Rightarrow x \in P(A)$ and $x \in P(B)$
$ \Rightarrow x \subset A$ and $\Rightarrow x \subset B$
$\Rightarrow x \subset A \cap B$
$ \Rightarrow x \subset P(A \cap B)$
$\therefore P(A) \cap P(B) \subset P(A \cap B)$. . . . (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
$P(A \cup B) = P(A) \cap P(B)$

Question 142 Marks
In a school, there are 20 teachers who teach mathematics or physics. Of these, 12 teach mathematics and 4 teach physics and mathematics. How many teach physics?
Answer
Let n(P) denote the number of teachers who teach Physics and n(M) denote the number of teachers who teach mathematics.
We have,
n(P$\cup $M) = 20, n(M) = 12 and n(P$\cap$M) = 4
To find : n(P)
We know that
n(P$\cup $M) = n(P) + n(M) - n(P$\cap$M)
$\Rightarrow$ 20 = n(P) + 12 - 4
$\Rightarrow$ 20 = n(P) + 8
$\Rightarrow$ n(P) = 20 - 8
= 12
$\therefore$ 12 teachers teach Physics.

Question 152 Marks
If X and Y are two sets such that X $\cup$ Y has 50 elements, X has 28 elements, and Y has 32 elements, how many elements does X $\cap$ Y have?
Answer
Here,
n (X $\cup$ Y) = 50, n (X) = 28, n (Y) = 32,
n (X $\cap$ Y) = ?
By using the formula,we have
n (X $\cup$ Y) = n (X) + n (Y) – n (X $\cap$ Y),
we find that
n (X $\cap$ Y) = n (X) + n (Y) – n (X $\cup$ Y)
= 28 + 32 – 50 = 10

Question 162 Marks
Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A = {2, 3} and B = {3, 4, 5}. Find A′, B′ , A′ $\cap$ B′, A $\cup$ B and hence show that (A $\cup$ B)′ = A′ $\cap$ B′
Answer
Clearly A′ = {1, 4, 5, 6}, B′ = { 1, 2, 6 }. Therefore, A′ $\cap$ B′ = { 1, 6 }
Also A $\cup$ B = { 2, 3, 4, 5 }, so that (A $\cup$ B )′ = { 1, 6 }
(A $\cup$ B)′ = {1, 6} = A′ $\cap$ B′
It can be shown that the above result is true in general. If A and B are any two
subsets of the universal set U, then ,we have
(A $\cup$ B)′ = A′ $\cap$ B′. Similarly, (A $\cap$ B)′ = A′ $\cup$ B′.
