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
$8, 7$
AnswerCorrect 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 ${2^{m - n}} = 8 = {2^3}$
==> $m - n = 3$ ==> $m - 3 = 3$ ==> $m = 6$; $\therefore \,\,m = 6,\,\,n = 3$.

$A \cap B = A$
- B
$A \cap B = B$
- ✓
$A \cap B = \phi $
- D
AnswerCorrect 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 $.

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
Answerd
(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 $=6+9+7=22$

Of the members of three athletic teams in a school $21$ are in the cricket team, $26$ are in the hockey team and $29$ are in the football team. Among them, $14$ play hockey and cricket, $15$ play hockey and football, and $12$ play football and cricket. Eight play all the three games. The total number of members in the three athletic teams is
Answera
(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.

In a class of $30$ pupils, $12$ take needle work, $16$ take physics and $18$ take history. If all the $30$ students take at least one subject and no one takes all three then the number of pupils taking $2$ subjects is
Answera
(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$.

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

Answera
$ |2 \mathrm{a}-1|=3[\mathrm{a}]+2\{\mathrm{a}\} $
$ |2 \mathrm{a}-1|=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a}$
Case $-1$ : $\mathrm{a}>\frac{1}{2} $
$ 2 \mathrm{a}-1=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a} $
$ {[\mathrm{a}]=-1 \quad \therefore \mathrm{a} \in[-1,0) \text { Reject }} $
Case-$2$: $\mathrm{a}<\frac{1}{2} $
$ -2 \mathrm{a}+1=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a} $
$ \mathrm{a}=\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{f} $
$ -2(\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{f})+1=\mathrm{I}+2 \mathrm{I}+2 \mathrm{f} $
$ \mathrm{I}=0, \mathrm{f}=\frac{1}{4} \quad \therefore \mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{4} $
Hence $ \mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{4} $
$ 72 \sum_{\mathrm{a} \in \mathrm{S}} \mathrm{a}=72 \times \frac{1}{4}=18$

It was found that all students passed in at least one of the subjects, $20$ students passed in Mathematics, $25$ students passed in Physics, $16$ students passed in Chemistry, at most $11$ students passed in both Mathematics and Physics, at most $15$ students passed in both Physics and Chemistry, at most $15$ students passed in both Mathematics and Chemistry. The maximum number of students passed in all the three subjects is___________.
Answera
$11-x \geq 0$ Maths and Physics
$\mathrm{x} \leq 11$
$\mathrm{x}=11$ does not satisfy the data.
$ 11+z \leq 15 \Rightarrow z \leq 4$
$ 11+y \leq 15 \Rightarrow y \leq 4$
Now
$ 9-z+0+14-y+z+11+y+5-y-z=40$
$ \Rightarrow y+z=-1$
Not possible
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \leq 10$
For $\mathrm{x}=10$
Hence maximum number of students passed in all the three subjects is $10$.

Let $A :\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$. Define $B =\{ T \subseteq A$ : either $1 \notin T$ or $2 \in T \}$ and $C = \{ T \subseteq A : T$ the sum of all the elements of $T$ is a prime number $\}$. Then the number of elements in the set $B \cup C$ is $\dots\dots$
Answera
$B^{\prime}$ 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 $2$ elements subset $=7$ (except selecting $\{3,7\},\{4,6\},\{5,7\})$
Number of such $1$ elements subset $=3$ (except selecting $\{4\}$ or $\{6\}$ )
Number of such $0$ elements subset $=1$
$n\left(B^{\prime} \cap C^{\prime}\right)=21 \Rightarrow n(B \cup C)=2^{7}-21=107$

$ \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 $

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 $x\, \in \,[9,\,\infty ]$

Let $P=\{\theta: \sin \theta-\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta\}$ and $Q=\{\theta: \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta\}$ be two sets. Then
Answerd
$P=\{\theta: \sin \theta-\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta\}$
$Q=\{\theta: \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta\}$
From P
$\sin \theta-\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$
$\sin \theta=(\sqrt{2}+1) \cos \theta$
$\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=(\sqrt{2}+1)$
$\tan \theta=(\sqrt{2}+1)$
$\text { from } Q$
$\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$
$\sin \theta(\sqrt{2}-1)=\cos \theta$
$\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=(\sqrt{2}-1)$
$\tan \theta=(\sqrt{2}-1)$
$\tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{\sqrt{2}+1}=\sqrt{2}+1$
$\therefore P=Q$
Hence, option $(D)$ is correct answer.

$20$ teachers of a school either teach mathematics or physics. $12$ of them teach mathematics while $4$ teach both the subjects. Then the number of teachers teaching physics is
Answera
(a) Let $n\,(P)$= Number of teachers in Physics.
$n\,(M)$= Number of teachers in Maths
$n\,(P \cup M) = n(P) + n\,(M) - n\,(P \cap M)$
$20 = n\,(P) + 12 - 4$ ==> $n\,(P) = 12$.

In a class of $100$ students, $55$ students have passed in Mathematics and $67$ students have passed in Physics. Then the number of students who have passed in Physics only is
Answerd
(d) $n\,(M) = 55,n\,(P) = 67,n\,(M \cup P) = 100$
Now, $n\,(M \cup P) = n\,(M) + n\,(P) - n\,(M \cap P)$
$100 = 55 + 67 - n\,(M \cap P)$
$\therefore n\,(M \cap P) = 122 - 100 = 22$
Now $n$ ($P$ only) =$n\,(P) - n(M \cap P)$$ = 67 - 22 = 45$.

Answerc
(c) Given set is $\{ (a,\,b):2{a^2} + 3{b^2} = 35,\;a,\,b \in Z\} $
We can see that, $2{( \pm 2)^2} + 3{( \pm 3)^2} = 35$ and $2{( \pm 4)^2} + 3{( \pm 1)^2} = 35$
$ \therefore (2, 3), (2, -3), (-2, -3), (-2, 3), (4, 1), (4, -1),$
$(-4, -1), (-4, 1)$ are $8$ elements of the set.
$ \therefore n = 8$.

If $X = \{ {4^n} - 3n - 1:n \in N\} $ and $Y = \{ 9(n - 1):n \in N\} ,$ then $X \cup Y$ is equal to
Answerb
(b) Since, ${4^n} - 3n - 1 = {(3 + 1)^n} - 3n - 1$
$ = {3^n}{ + ^n}{C_1}{3^{n - 1}}{ + ^n}{C_2}{3^{n - 2}} + .....{ + ^n}{C_{n - 1}}3{ + ^n}{C_n} - 3n - 1$
(${ = ^n}{C_0}={ ^n}{C_n},{^n}{C_1}$ = ${^n}{C_{n - 1}}$ 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 $n \in N$
$X$ contains elements, which are multiples of $9$, and clearly $Y$ contains all multiples of $9$.
$X \subseteq Y$ i.e., $X \cup Y = Y$.

- ✓
$X \subseteq Y$
- B
$Y \subseteq X$
- C
$X = Y$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $X \subseteq Y$
a
(a) Since ${8^n} - 7n - 1 = {(7 + 1)^n} - 7n - 1$
$ = {7^n}{ + ^n}{C_1}{7^{n - 1}}{ + ^n}{C_2}{7^{n - 2}} + .....{ + ^n}{C_{n - 1}}7{ + ^n}{C_n} - 7n - 1$
${ = ^n}{C_2}{7^2}{ + ^n}{C_3}{7^3} + ..{ + ^n}{C_n}{7^n}$,${(^n}{C_0}{ = ^n}{C_n},{\,^n}{C_1}{ = ^n}{C_{n - 1}}\,{\rm{etc}}{\rm{.)}}$
$ = 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 $49$. $X \subseteq Y$.

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

$1$. $10\%$ 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 $3$
AnswerCorrect 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.

Answera
$2(\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB}))=\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})$
$2 n(A)-n(B)=n(A B)$
$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+3 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=5 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+3 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=10 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})-5 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})$
$8 n(\mathrm{B})=9 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})$
$\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})}=\frac{8}{9}$
$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})=8 \mathrm{k} ; \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=9 \mathrm{k}$
