Sets and Functions


  1. Let A = {x: x ∈ N ∧ x is a multiple of 2}
    B = {x: x ∈ N ∧ x is a multiple of 5}
    C = {x: x ∈ N ∧ x is a multiple of 10}
    Describe the set A ∩ (B ∪ C)

    B = {5, 10, 15,…}
    C = {10, 20, 30,…}
    ∴ A ∩ (B ∩ C) = {2, 4, 6,…} ∩ {5, 10, 15,…}

    Correct Option: C

    B = {5, 10, 15,…}
    C = {10, 20, 30,…}
    B ∪ C = {5, 10, 15,…} ∪ {10, 20, 30,…}
    B ∪ C = {5, 10, 15,…}
    ∴ A ∩ (B ∩ C) = {2, 4, 6,…} ∩ {5, 10, 15,…} = {10, 20, 20,…} = C.


  1. If S and T are 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?

    Given in the question,
    n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32, n(S ∩ T) = 11, n(S ∪ T) = ?
    Using the formula,
    n(S ∪ T) = n(S) + n(T) – n(S ∩ T)

    Correct Option: C

    Given in the question,
    n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32, n(S ∩ T) = 11, n(S ∪ T) = ?
    Using the formula,
    n(S ∪ T) = n(S) + n(T) – n(S ∩ T) = 21 + 32 – 11 = 42
    Hence, S ∪ T has 42 elements.



  1. If U = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}, A = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11} and B = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}, Then compute (A – B)′.

    A – B is a set of member which belong to A but does not belongs to B

    Correct Option: D

    A – B is a set of member which belong to A but do not belong to B
    ∴ A – B = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11} - {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
    A – B = {3, 5}
    According to formula,
    (A − B)′ = U - (A – B)

    ∴ (A − B)′ = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11} - {3, 5}
    (A − B)′ = {2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}.

    A × B = {1, 2} × {2, 3}

    Correct Option: C

    A × B = {1, 2} × {2, 3}
    = {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 2), (2, 3)}.
