Question 1.


In a town of 10,000 families it was found that 40% family buy newspaper A, 20% buy newspaper B and 10% families buy newspaper C, 5% families buy A and B, 3% buy B and C and 4% buy A and C. If 2% families buy all the three newspapers, then number of families which buy A only is


  1.     3100
  2.     3300
  3.     2900
  4.     1400

Answer: Option B. -> 3300
:
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 ∩ B) = 5% of 10,000 = 500


n(B ∩ C) = 3% of 10,000 = 300


n(C ∩ A) = 4% of 10,000 = 400


n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 2% of 10,000 = 200


We want to find the number of families which buy only A = n(A) - [n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∩ C) - n(A ∩ B ∩ C)]


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


Question 2.


If X = {4n - 3n - 1 : n ∈ N} and Y = { 9(n-1) : n ∈ N}, then X ∪ Y is equal to


  1.     X
  2.     Y
  3.     N
  4.     None of these

Answer: Option B. -> Y
:
B

Since
4n3n1=(3+1)n3n1=3n+nC13n1+nC23n2+.....+nCn13+nCn3n1=nC232+nC3.33+...+nCn3n,(nC0=nCn,nCn1=nC1.....so on.)=9[nC2+nC3(3)+......+nC43n1]
4n3n1 is a multiple of 9 for n2.
For n=1,4n3n1=431=0For n=2,4n3n1=1661=94n3n1 is a multiple of 9 for all nϵN
 X contains elements, which are multiples of 9, and clearly Y contains all multiples of 9.
XY i.e.,XY=Y


Question 3.


Let n(U) = 700, n(A) = 200, n(B) = 300 and n(A ∩ B) = 100,


Then n(AcBc) =


  1.     400
  2.     600
  3.     300
  4.     200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 300
:
C

n(Ac ∩ Bc) = n(U) - n(A ∪ B)


= n(U) - [n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)]


= 700 - [200 + 300 - 100] = 300.


Question 4.


If the sets A and B are defined as


A = {(x, y) : y =  1x, 0 ≠ x ∈ R}


B = {(x, y) : y = -x, x ∈ R}, then


  1.     A ∩ B = A
  2.     A ∩ B = B
  3.     A ∩ B = ∅
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> A ∩ B = ∅
:
C

Since y =   1x, y = -x meet when -x =   1x  ⇒ x2 = -1,


which does not give any real value of x.


Hence, A ∩ B = ∅.


Question 5.


If A and B  are two given sets, then A ∩  (AB)cis equal to


  1.     A
  2.     B
  3.     ∅
  4.     A ∩ (Bc).
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> A ∩ (Bc).
:
D

A ∩ (AB)c) = A ∩ (Ac ∪ Bc)


                             = (A ∩ (Ac ) ∪ (A  ∩ (Bc)


                             = ∅ ∪ (A ∩ (Bc) = A ∩ (Bc).


Question 6.


Let A = { x : x ∈ R, |x| < 1};  B = {x : x ∈ R, |x-1| ≥ 1} and 


A ∪ B = R - D, then the set D is


  1.     [x : 1 < x ≤ 2]
  2.     [x : 1  ≤ x < 2]
  3.     [x : 1 ≤ x ≤ 2] 
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> [x : 1  ≤ x < 2]
:
B

A = {x: x ∈ R, -1 < x < 1}


B = {x: x ∈ R:x-1 ≤ -1 or x-1 ≥ 1}


   = {x : x ∈ R:x ≤ 0 or  x ≥ 2}


∴ A ∪ B = R - D, where D = {x : x ∈ R, 1 ≤ x < 2}.


Question 7.


A={x:xR, x2=16 and 2x=6} can be represented in the roster form as _________ .


  1.     A = {}
  2.     A = { 14, 3, 4 }
  3.     A = { 3 }
  4.     A = { 4 }
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> A = {}
:
A

x2=16x=±4
2x=6x=3


There is no value of x which satisfies both the given equations. The set A is an empty set or a null set.


Thus, A = {}.


Question 8.


If a set A has n  elements, then the total number of subsets of A is  


  1.     n
  2.     n2
  3.     2n
  4.     2n
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2n
:
C

Number of subsets of A = nC0nC1  + .............+ nCn2n


Question 9.


Which of the following is an empty set 


  1.     {x:x is a real number and x21=0}
  2.     {x:x is a real number and x2+1=0}
  3.     {x:x is a real number and x29=0}
  4.     {x:x is a real number and x2=x+2}
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> {x:x is a real number and x2+1=0}
:
B

Since x2 + 1 = 0, gives x2=1


x=±i


x is not real but x has to be is real (given)


∴ No real value of x is possible in this case.


Question 10.


If the sets A and B are defined as A = {(x, y) : y = ex, x ∈ R};


B = {(x, y) : y = x, x ∈ R}, then


  1.     B ⊆ A
  2.     A ⊆ B
  3.     A ∩ B = ∅
  4.     A ∪  B = A
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> A ∩ B = ∅
:
C

Since, y =  ex and y = x do not meet for any x ∈ R


A ∩ B = ∅ .
