MCQ 21 Mark
Two finite sets have $m$ and $n$ elements. The total number of subsets of the first set is $56$ more than the total number of subsets of the second set. The values of $m$ and $n$ are
  • A
    $7, 6$
  • $6, 3$
  • C
    $5, 1$
  • D
    $8, 7$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$6, 3$
b
(b) Since ${2^m} - {2^n} = 56 = 8 \times 7 = {2^3} \times 7$

==> ${2^n}({2^{m - n}} - 1) = {2^3} \times 7$, $\therefore $ $n = 3$ and ${2^{m - n}} = 8 = {2^3}$

==> $m - n = 3$ ==> $m - 3 = 3$ ==> $m = 6$; $\therefore \,\,m = 6,\,\,n = 3$.

If the sets $A$ and $B$ are defined as $A = \{ (x,\,y):y = {1 \over x},\,0 \ne x \in R\} $ $B = \{ (x,y):y =  - x,x \in R\} $, then
  • A
    $A \cap B = A$
  • B
    $A \cap B = B$
  • $A \cap B = \phi $
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$A \cap B = \phi $
c
(c) Since $\,y = {1 \over x},\,y = - x$ meet when $ - x = {1 \over x}$ ==> ${x^2} = - 1$, which does not give any real value of $x.$

Hence, $\,A \cap B = \phi $.

Let $A = \{ (x,\,y):y = {e^x},\,x \in R\} $, $B = \{ (x,\,y):y = {e^{ - x}},\,x \in R\} .$ Then
  • A
    $A \cap B = \phi $
  • $A \cap B \ne \phi $
  • C
    $A \cup B = {R^2}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$A \cap B \ne \phi $
b
(b) $\because y = {e^x},\,\,y = {e^{ - x}}$ will meet, when ${e^x} = {e^{ - x}}$

==> ${e^{2x}} = 1,\,\,\therefore x = 0,y = 1$

$\therefore A$ and $B$ meet on $(0, 1), $

$\therefore A \cap B = \phi $.

    $3100$
  • $3300$
  • C
    $2900$
  • D
    $1400$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3300$
b
(b) $n(A) = 40\% \ of 10,000 = 4,000$

$n(B) = 20\% \ of\ 10,000 = 2,000$

$n(C) = 10\% \  of \ 10,000 = 1,000$

$n (A \cap B)$ $= 5\% \ of\ 10,000 = 500$

$n (B \cap C)$ $= 3\% \ of\ 10,000 = 300$

$n(C \cap  A)$ $= 4\% \ of \ 10,000 = 400$

$n(A \cap B \cap C)$ $= 2\% \ of \ 10,000 = 200$

We want to find $n(A \cap B^c \cap C^c) = n[A \cap (B \cap C)^c]$

$= n(A) -n[A \cap (B \cup C)] = n(A) -n[(A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C)]$

$= n(A) -[n(A \cap B) + n(A \cap C) -n(A \cap B \cap C)]$

$= 4000 -[500 + 400 -200] = 4000 -700 = 3300.$

In a class of $55$ students, the number of students studying different subjects are $23$ in Mathematics, $24$ in Physics, $19$ in Chemistry, $12$ in Mathematics and Physics, $9$ in Mathematics and Chemistry, $7$ in Physics and Chemistry and $4$ in all the three subjects. The total numbers of students who have taken exactly one subject is
  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $7$
  • $22$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$22$
d
(d) $n(M) = 23, n(P) = 24, n(C)= 19$

$n(M  \cap P) = 12, n(M  \cap C)= 9, n(P  \cap C)= 7 ,$

$n(M  \cap P  \cap C) = 4 $

We have to find $n(M  \cap P'  \cap C'), n(P  \cap M '  \cap C' ),n ( C  \cap M'  \cap P') $

$= n(M)-n(M  \cap (P  \cup C))$

$= n(M) - n[(M \cap P) \cup (M \cap C)]$

$= n(M) -n(M  \cap P)-n(M  \cap C) + n(M  \cap P  \cap C)$

$= 23 -12 -9 + 4 = 27 -21 = 6$

$= n(P)-n[P  \cap (M  \cup C)] = $ $n(P) - n[(P \cap M) \cup (P \cap C)]$

$= n(P) -n(P  \cap M) -n(P  \cap C) + n(P  \cap M  \cap C) $

$= 24 -12 -7 + 4 = 9$

$n(C \cap M' \cap P') = n(C) - n(C \cap P) - n(C \cap M) + n(C \cap P \cap M)$

$= 19 -7 -9 + 4 = 23 -16 = 7.$

So total number of student is $=6+9+7=22$

  • $43$
  • B
    $76$
  • C
    $49$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$43$
a
(a) Let $B, H, F$ denote the sets of members who are on the basketball team, hockey team and football team respectively.

Then we are given $n\,(B) = 21,\,n\,(H) = 26,n\,(F) = 29$

$n\,(H \cap B) = 14$, $n\,(H \cap F) = 15$, $n\,(F \cap B) = 12$
and $n\,(B \cap H \cap F) = 8$.

We have to find $n\,(B \cup H \cup F)$.

To find this, we use the formula

$n\,(B \cup H \cup F) = n\,(B) + n\,(H) + n\,(F)$

$ - n\,(B \cap H) - n\,(H \cap F) - n\,(F \cap B) + n\,(B \cap H \cap F)$

Hence,$n\,(B \cup H \cup F) = (21 + 26 + 29) - (14 + 15 + 12) + 8 = 43$

Thus these are $43$ members in all.

  • $16$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $20$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$16$
a
(a) Given $n(N) = 12$, $n(P) = 16$, $n(H) = 18$, $n(N \cup P \cup H) = 30$

From, $n(N \cup P \cup H) = n(N) + n(P) + n(H) - n(N \cap P)$

$ - n(P \cap H) - n(N \cap H) + n(N \cap P \cap H)$

 $\therefore n(N \cap P) + n(P \cap H) + n(N \cap H) = 16$

Now, number of pupils taking two subjects

$ = n(N \cap P) + n(P \cap H) + n(N \cap H) - 3n(N \cap P \cap H)$

$ = 16 - 0 = 16$.

$\therefore A_1 \cap A_2 \cup A_3 \ldots \cup A_m=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 100\}$

Let $\left|A_1\right|=1\left|A_2\right|=2 \ldots\left|A_m\right|=M$

$A_1, A_2, A_3 \ldots, A_m$ are disjoint set.

$\therefore\left|A_1\right|+\left|A_2\right| \ldots+\left|A_m\right|=100$

$1+2+3 \ldots+m=100$

$\frac{m(m+1)}{2}=100$

$m^2+m-200=0$

$=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+4 \cdot 1 \cdot 200}}{2 \cdot 1}$

$=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+800}}{2}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{801}}{2}$

$=\frac{-1+28.30}{2}=\frac{27.30}{2}=16.65$

$m=\frac{1+28.30}{2}=\frac{29.30}{2}=14.65$

$\therefore m < 14$

$\therefore$ Maximum possible of $m$ is $13$ . ($14$th set will have same size as that of previous size)

  • A
    $S_n$ has a multiple of $19$
  • B
    $S_n$ has a prime
  • C
    $S_n$ has at least four multiples of $5$
  • $S_n$ has at most six primes
Answer
Correct option: D.
$S_n$ has at most six primes
d
(d)

We have,

$S_n=\{n+1, n+2, n+3, \ldots, n+18\},$

$n \geq 10$

(a) $n=19$, then $S_n$ has not a multiple of 19 .

Hence, option (a) is false.

(b) $S_n$ has more than one prime for $n \geq 10$.

(c) $n=10$

11,28

Only $15,20,25$ are multiple of $5 .$

(d) Number of odd integer in $S_n=9$

So, every third integer is multiple of $3$.

$\therefore S_n$ has at most six primes.

$ |2 \mathrm{a}-1|=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a}$

Case $-1$ : $\mathrm{a}>\frac{1}{2} $

$B^{\prime}$ is a set containing sub sets of $A$ containing element $1$ and not containing $2$ .

And $C^{\prime}$ is a set containing subsets of $A$ whose sum of elements is not prime.

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 $54\,elements\,subset\,=1$

Number of such $4$ elements subset $=3$ (except selecting $3$ or $7$ )

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 $1$ elements subset $=3$ (except selecting $\{4\}$ or $\{6\}$ )

Number of such $0$ elements subset $=1$

  • If $\left( {A - C} \right) \subseteq B$ then $A \subseteq B$
  • B
    If $\left( {A - B} \right) \subseteq C$ then $A \subseteq C$
  • C
    $\left( {C \cup A} \right) \cap \left( {C \cup B} \right) = C$
  • D
    $B \cap C \ne \phi $
Answer
Correct option: A.
If $\left( {A - C} \right) \subseteq B$ then $A \subseteq B$
a
For $A\, = \,C,\,A - C\, = \,\phi $

$ \Rightarrow \phi \, \subseteq \,B$

But $A\, \subseteq \,B$

$ \Rightarrow \,$ option $A$ is NOT true

Let $x\, \in \,\,(C\,x\, \in \,(C\, \cup \,A)\,\, \cap (C\, \cup \,B)\,)$

$ \Rightarrow \,x\,(C\, \cup \,A)$ and $x\, \in \,\,(C\, \cup \,B)$

$ \Rightarrow \,(x\, \in \,C$ or $x\, \in \,A)$ and  $(x\, \in \,C$ or $x\, \in \,B)$

$ \Rightarrow \,(x\, \in \,C$ or $x\, \in \,\,(A\, \cap \,B)$

$ \Rightarrow \,(x\, \in \,C$   or  $x\, \in \,C$  (as $A\, \cup \,B \subseteq \,C\,$ )

$ \Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,C$

$ \Rightarrow (C\, \cup \,A)\,\, \cap (C\, \cup \,B)\, \subseteq \,C\,\,\,(1)$

Now $x\, \in \,C\, \Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,(C\, \cup \,A)$ and $x\, \in \,\,(C\, \cup \,B\,)$

$ \Rightarrow x\, \in (C\, \cup \,A)\,\, \cap (C\, \cup \,B)$

$ \Rightarrow C\, \subseteq \,(C\, \cup \,A)\,\, \cap (C\, \cup \,B)\, \subseteq \,C\,\,\,(2)$

$ \Rightarrow $ from $(1)$ and $(2)$

$C\, = \,(C\, \cup \,A)\,\, \cap (C\, \cup \,B)$

$ \Rightarrow $ option $B$ is true

Let $x\, \in \,A$ and $x\, \notin \,B$

$\Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,(A - B)$

$ \Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,C$ (as $A - B \subseteq \,C$ )

Let $x\, \in \,A$ and $x\, \in \,B$

$ \Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,(A \cap B)$

$ \Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,C$ (as $A \cap B \subseteq \,C$ )

Hence $x\, \in \,A\,\, \Rightarrow \,x\, \in \,C$

$ \Rightarrow A\, \subseteq \,C$

$ \Rightarrow $ option $C$ is true

As $C \supseteq \,(A \cap B)$

$ \Rightarrow B \cap C \supseteq \,(A \cap B)$

As $A \cap B \ne \phi $

$ \Rightarrow B \cap C \ne \phi $

Hence the correct answer is option $(A)$

  • contains exactly two elements
  • C
    contains exactly four element.
  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.
contains exactly two elements
b
Case - $I$ : $x\,\in \,[0,\,9]$

$2(3 - \sqrt x )\, + \,x\, - \,6\sqrt x \, + \,6\, = \,0$

$ \Rightarrow \,x\, - \,8\sqrt x \, + \,12\, = \,0\, \Rightarrow \,\sqrt x \, = \,4,2\, \Rightarrow \,x\, = \,16,4$

Since $x\, \in \,[0,\,9]$

$\therefore \,\,x\,=\,4$

Case - $II$ : $x\, \in \,[9,\,\infty ]$

$2(\sqrt x  - 3)\, + \,x\, - \,6\sqrt x \, + \,6\, = \,0$

$ \Rightarrow \,x\, - \,4\sqrt x \,\, = \,0\, \Rightarrow \,x\, = \,16,0$

Since $x\, \in \,[9,\,\infty ]$

$\therefore \,\,x\,=\,16$

  • B
    $Q \not \subset P$
  • C
    $P \not \subset Q$
  • $P=Q$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$P=Q$
d
$P=\{\theta: \sin \theta-\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta\}$

$Q=\{\theta: \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta\}$

From P

$\sin \theta-\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$

$\sin \theta=(\sqrt{2}+1) \cos \theta$

$\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=(\sqrt{2}+1)$

$\tan \theta=(\sqrt{2}+1)$

$\text { from } Q$

$\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$

$\sin \theta(\sqrt{2}-1)=\cos \theta$

$\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=(\sqrt{2}-1)$

$\tan \theta=(\sqrt{2}-1)$

$\tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{\sqrt{2}+1}=\sqrt{2}+1$

$\therefore P=Q$

(${ = ^n}{C_0}={ ^n}{C_n},{^n}{C_1}$ = ${^n}{C_{n - 1}}$ etc.)

$ = 9{[^n}{C_2}{ + ^n}{C_3}(3) + .....{ + ^n}{C_n}{3^{n - 1}}]$

${4^n} - 3n - 1$ is a multiple of $9$ for $n \ge 2$.

For $n = 1,$ ${4^n} - 3n - 1$ = $4 - 3 - 1 = 0$,

For $n = 2,$ ${4^n} - 3n - 1$= $16 - 6 - 1 = 9$

${4^n} - 3n - 1$ is a multiple of $9$ for all $n \in N$

${ = ^n}{C_2}{7^2}{ + ^n}{C_3}{7^3} + ..{ + ^n}{C_n}{7^n}$,${(^n}{C_0}{ = ^n}{C_n},{\,^n}{C_1}{ = ^n}{C_{n - 1}}\,{\rm{etc}}{\rm{.)}}$

$ = 49{[^n}{C_2}{ + ^n}{C_3}(7) + ......{ + ^n}{C_n}{7^{n - 2}}]$

$\therefore$ ${8^n} - 7n - 1$ is a multiple of $49$ for $n \ge 2$

For $n = 1$, ${8^n} - 7n - 1 = 8 - 7 - 1 = 0$;

For $n = 2,$ ${8^n} - 7n - 1 = 64 - 14 - 1 = 49$

$\therefore$ ${8^n} - 7n - 1$ is a multiple of $49$ for all $n \in N.$

$\therefore $ $X$ contains elements which are multiples of $49$ and clearly $Y$ contains all multiplies of $49$. $X \subseteq Y$.

Suppose ${A_1},\,{A_2},\,{A_3},........,{A_{30}}$ are thirty sets each having $5$ elements and ${B_1},\,{B_2}, ......., B_n$ are $n$ sets each with $3$ elements. Let $\bigcup\limits_{i = 1}^{30} {{A_i}} = \bigcup\limits_{j = 1}^n {{B_j}} = S$ and each elements of $S$ belongs to exactly $10$ of the $A_i's$ and exactly $9$ of the $B_j's$. Then $n$ is equal to
  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $3$
  • $45$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$45$
c
(c) $O(S)$ = $O\left( {\bigcup\limits_{i = 1}^{30} {{A_i}} } \right) = \frac{1}{{10}}(5 \times 30) = 15$

Since, element in the union $S$ belongs to $10$ of $Ai$' s

Also, $O(S)$ = $O\left( {\bigcup\limits_{j\, = 1}^n {{B_j}} } \right) = \frac{{3n}}{9} = \frac{n}{3}$,

$\therefore$ $\frac{n}{3} = 15 \Rightarrow n = 45$.

Out of $800$ boys in a school, $224$ played cricket, $240$ played hockey and $336$ played basketball. Of the total, $64$ played both basketball and hockey; $80$ played cricket and basketball and $40$ played cricket and hockey; $24$ played all the three games. The number of boys who did not play any game is
  • A
    $128$
  • B
    $216$
  • C
    $240$
  • $160$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$160$
d
(d) $n\,(C) = 224,\,n\,(H) = 240,n\,(B) = 336$

$n\,(H \cap B) = 64,\,\,n(B \cap C) = 80$

$n(H \cap C) = 40$, $n(C \cap H \cap B) = 24$

$n\,({C^c} \cap {H^c} \cap {B^C}) = n\,[{(C \cup H \cup B)^c}]$

$ = n( \cup ) - n(C \cup H \cup B)$

$ = 800 - [n(C) + n(H) + n(B) - n(H \cap C)$

$ - n(H \cap B) - n(C \cap B) + n(C \cap H \cap B)]$

$ = 800 - [224 + 240 + 336 - 64 - 80 - 40 + 24]$

$ = 800 - 640 = 160$.

A survey shows that $63\%$ of the Americans like cheese whereas $76\%$ like apples. If $x\%$ of the Americans like both cheese and apples, then
  • A
    $x = 39$
  • B
    $x = 63$
  • $39 \le x \le 63$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$39 \le x \le 63$
c
(c) Let $A$ denote the set of Americans who like cheese and let $B$ denote the set of Americans who like apples.

Let Population of American be $100$.

Then $n\,(A) = 63,n\,(B) = 76$

Now, $n\,(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)$

$ = 63 + 76 - n(A \cap B)$

 $\therefore n\,(A \cup B) + n(A \cap B) = 139$

==> $n\,(A \cap B) = 139 - n(A \cup B)$

But $n\,(A \cup B) \le 100$

$\therefore - n\,(A \cup B) \ge - 100$

 $\therefore 139 - n\,(A \cup B) \ge 139 - 100 = 39$

 $\therefore n(A \cap B) \ge 39$ i.e., $39 \le n(A \cap B)$.....(i)

Again, $A \cap B \subseteq A,A \cap B \subseteq B$

$ \therefore n\,(A \cap B) \le n\,(A) = 63$ and $n\,(A \cap B) \le n\,(B) = 76$

$\therefore n(A \cap B) \le 63$…..(ii)

Then, $39 \le n\,(A \cap B) \le 63$ ==> $39 \le x \le 63$.

MCQ 1281 Mark
In a certain town $25\%$ families own a phone and $15\%$ own a car, $65\%$ families own neither a phone nor a car. $2000$ families own both a car and a phone. Consider the following statements in this regard:

$1$. $10\%$ families own both a car and a phone

$2$. $35\%$ families own either a car or a phone

$3$. $40,000$ families live in the town

Which of the above statements are correct

  • A
    $1$ and $2$
  • B
    $1$ and $3$
  • $2$ and $3$
  • D
    $1, 2$ and $3$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2$ and $3$
c
(c) $n(P) = 25\% ,\,\,n(C) = 15\% $

$n\,({P^c} \cap {C^c}) = 65\% ,\,\,n(P \cap C) = 2000$

Since, $n\,({P^c} \cap {C^c}) = 65\% $

$\therefore$ $n\,{(P \cup C)^c} = 65\% $ and $n(P \cup C) = 35\% $

Now, $n(P \cup C) = n(P) + n(C) - n(P \cap C)$

$35 = 25 + 15 - n(P \cap C)$

$\therefore$ $n(P \cap C) = 40 - 35 = 5$. Thus $n\,(P \cap C) = 5\% $

But $n\,(P \cap C) = 2000$

$\therefore$  Total number of families $ = \frac{{2000 \times 100}}{5} = 40,000$

Since, $n(P \cup C) = 35\% $

and total number of families = $40,000$

and $n(P \cap C) = 5\% $. $\therefore$  $(2)$ and $(3)$ are correct.

  • $63$
  • B

Answer
Correct option: A.
$63$
a
$2(\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB}))=\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})$

$2 n(A)-n(B)=n(A B)$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+3 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=5 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+3 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=10 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})-5 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})$

$8 n(\mathrm{B})=9 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})$

$\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})}=\frac{8}{9}$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})=8 \mathrm{k} ; \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=9 \mathrm{k}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})=7 \mathrm{k}$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})=10 \mathrm{k} \leq 10$

$\mathrm{k}=1$
