Sets Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
If X and Fare two sets, n(X) = 17, n(Y) = 23 and n(X ∪ F) = 38, then find n(X ∩ F)? (NCERT)
Solution:
We know that n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n(X∩Y)
Given: n(X) = 17, n(Y) = 23, n(X ∪ Y) = 38, n(X ∩ Y) = ?
∴ 38 = 17 + 23 – n(X ∩ Y)
⇒ 38 = 40 – n(X ∩ Y)
⇒ n(X ∩ Y) = 40 – 38
⇒ n(X ∩ Y) = 2.

Question 2.
If X and Y are two sets, such that X∪Y has 18 elements, X has 8 elements and F has 15 elements, then how many elements does X ∩ Y have? (NCERT)
Solution:
Given: n(X ∪ Y) = 18, n(X) = 8, n(Y) = 15.
Applying formula n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n(X ∩ Y)
18 = 8 + 15 – n(X ∩ Y)
⇒ n(X ∩ Y) = 23 – 18 = 5.

Question 3.
If S and Tare two sets, such that S has 21 elements, T has 32 elements and S∩T has 11 elements, how many elements does S∪T have? (NCERT)
Solution:
Given: n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32, n(S ∩ T) = 11, n(S ∪ T) = ?
∵ n(S ∪ T) = n(S) + n(T) – n(S ∩ T)
⇒ n(S ∪ T) = 21 + 32 – 11 = 42.

Question 4.
If X and Y are two sets such that X has 40 elements, X∪Y has 60 elements and X∩Y has 10 elements, then how many elements does Y have? (NCERT)
Solution:

Applying formula n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n{X ∩ Y)
⇒ 60 = 40 + n(Y) – 10
⇒ 60 = 30 + n(Y)
⇒ n(Y) = 30.

Question 1.
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? (NCERT)
Solution:
Let C and T be the students taking coffee and tea.
Here, n(T) = 150, n(C) = 225, n(C ∩ T) = 100.
Applying formula n(C ∪ T) = n(T) + n(C) – n(C ∩ T)
n(C ∪ T) = 150 + 225 – 100 = 375 – 100
⇒ n(C ∪ T) = 275
Total number of students = 600 = n(U).
Number of students taking neither tea nor coffee = n(C ∪ T)’
n(C ∪ T)’ = n(U) – n(C ∪ T)
= 600 – 275 = 325.

Question 2.
In a group of 70 people, 37 likes coffee, 52 likes tea and each person likes at least one of these two drinks. Find the number of persons who likes both coffee and tea? (NCERT)
Solution:
Let C and T be the persons who likes coffee and tea.
Given: n(C) = 37, n(T) = 52, n(C ∪ T) = 70, n(C ∩ T) = ?
Applying formula n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ 70 = 37 + 52 – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ 70 = 89 – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ n(C ∩ T) = 89 – 70
⇒ n(C ∩ T) = 19
∴ Number of people who likes both coffee and tea = 19.

Question 3.
In a group of 65 people, 40 likes cricket, 10 likes both cricket and tennis. How many like tennis only and not cricket? How many like tennis? (NCERT)
Solution:
Let C and T denotes the people who likes cricket and tennis respectively.
Given: n(C ∪ T) = 65, n(C) = 40, n(C ∩ T) = 10
We know that
n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – (C ∩ T)
65 = 40 + n(T) – 10
⇒ n(T) = 65 – 30 = 35.
∴ Number of people who likes only tennis and not cricket
= n(T ∩ C)’ = n(T) – (C ∩ T)
= 35 – 10 = 25.

Question 4.
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 1.3 read all three newspapers. Find

  1. The number of people who read at least one of the newspapers.
  2. The number of people who read exactly one newspaper. (NCERT)

Solution:
Given: n (H) = 25, n (T) = 26, n(I) = 26, n(H ∩ I) = 9, n(H ∩ T) = 11, n(T ∩ I) = 8, n(H ∩ T ∩ I) = 3

1. The number of people who reads at least one of the newspaper = n(H∪T∪I)
= n(H) + n(T) + n(I) – n(H ∩ T) – n(T ∩ I) – n(H ∩ I) + n(H ∩ T ∩ I)
= 25 + 26 + 26 – 11 – 8 – 9 + 3
= 77 – 28 + 3 = 80 – 28 = 52.

2. The number of people who reads exactly one newspaper.
= n(H) + n(T) + n(I) – 2n(H ∩ I) – 2n(H ∩ T) – 2n(T ∩ I) + 3n(H ∩ T ∩ I)
= 25 + 26 + 26 – 2 × 9 – 2 × 11 – 2 × 8 + 3 × 3 = 77 – 18 – 22 – 16 + 9
= 86 – 56 = 30.

Solution:
Let A, B and C denotes the people liked the products A, B and C respectively.
Given: n(A) = 21, n(B) = 26, n(C) = 29, n(A ∩ B) = 14, n(C ∩ A) = 12, n(B ∩ C) = 14, n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 8
n(only C) = n(C) – n(C ∩ A) – n(B ∩ C) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
= 29 – 12 – 14 + 8
= 37 – 26 = 11.
