Question 12 Marks
If n(A) = 7, n(B) = 13, n(A ∩ B) = 4, then n(A ∪ B) = ?
Answer
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
= 7 + 13 – 4
n(A ∪ B) = 16

Question 22 Marks
Observe the Venn diagram and write the given sets U, A, B, A ∪ B and A ∩ B.

Image

Answer
U = {1,2, 3,4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13}
A = {1, 2, 3, 5,7}
B = {1, 5, 8, 9, 10}
A ∪ B = {1,2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10}
A ∩ B = {1, 5}

Question 32 Marks
If M is any set, then write M ∪Φ and M ∩ Φ.
Answer
Let M = {2, 3, 4, 8} and Φ = { }
∴ M ∪ Φ = {2, 3, 4, 8}
∴ M ∪ Φ = M Also, M ∩ Φ = { }
∴ M ∩ Φ = i(i

Question 42 Marks
If n(A) = 20, n(B) = 28 and n(A ∪ B) = 36, then n(A ∩ B) = ?
Answer
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
∴ 36 = 20 + 28 – n(A ∩ B)
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 20 + 28 – 36
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 12

Question 52 Marks
Every student should take 9 triangular sheets of paper and one plate. Numbers from 1 to 9 should, be written on each triangle. Everyone should keep some numbered triangles in the plate. Now the triangles in each plate form a subset of the set of numbers from 1 to 9.

Image

Look at the plates of Sujata, Hameed, Mukta, Nandini, Joseph with the numbered triangles. Guess the thinking behind selecting these numbers. Hence write the subsets in set builder form.
Answer
Sujata:
$S=\{x \mid x=2 n-1, n \in N, x<9\}$
Hameed:
$f H=\{x \mid x=2 n, n \in N, x<9\}$
Mukta:
$M=\left\{x \mid x=n^2, n \in N, x \leq 9\right\}$
Nandini:
$N=\{x \mid x \in N, x \leq 9\}$
Joseph:
$J=\{x \mid x \text { is a prime number between } 1 \text { and } 9\}$

Question 72 Marks
A = { x | x is a letter of the word ‘listen’.}
B = { y | y is a letter of the word ‘silent’.} verify that A=B.
Answer
A = { x | x is a letter of the word ‘listen’.} ∴ A = { l, i, s, t, e, n}
B = { y | y is a letter of the word ‘silent’.} ∴ B = { s, i, l, e, n, t}
Though the elements of set A and B are not in the same order but all the elements
are identical.
∴ A = B

Question 122 Marks
If n(A) = 15, n(A ∪ B) = 29, n(A ∩ B) = 7, then n(B) = ?
Answer
Here, n(A) = 15, n(A ∪ B) = 29, n(A ∩ B) = 7
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
∴ 29 = 15 + n(B) – 7
∴ 29 – 15 + 7 = n(B)
∴ n(B) = 21

Question 152 Marks
A = {x | x is prime number and 10 < x < 20} and B = {11,13,17,19}. Here A = B. Verify.
Answer
A = {x | x is prime number and 10 < x < 20}
∴ A = {11, 13, 17, 19}
B = {11, 13, 17, 19}
∴ All the elements in set A and B are identical.
∴ A and B are equal sets, i.e. A = B
