    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. In a certain office, 72% of the workers prefer cold drink and 44% prefer tea. If each of them prefers cold drink or tea and 40 like both, then the total number of workers in the office is:

    72% + 44% = 116%
    ∴ 16% → 40
    ∴ 100% → 40 100 16 × = 250

    Correct Option: A

    72% + 44% = 116%
    ∴ 16% → 40
    ∴ 100% → 40 100 16 × = 250
    Hence, 16% workers are there who prefer both drinks which are 40 in number.

    Required percentage
    = 100 – (40 + 25 + 15)
    = 100 – 80 = 20%

    Correct Option: C

    Required percentage
    = 100 – (40 + 25 + 15)
    = 100 – 80 = 20%

    Odd natural numbers are 1,3,5,7,............. so on.......
    A natural number is a number that occurs commonly and obviously in nature. As such, it is a whole, non-negative number. The set of natural numbers, denoted N, can be defined in either of two ways: N = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}

    Correct Option: C

    A natural number is a number that occurs commonly and obviously in nature. As such, it is a whole, non-negative number. The set of natural numbers, denoted N, can be defined in either of two ways: N = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
    As per given option.
    (a) As no odd natural number is divisible by 2, the set A is empty.
    (b) Since no natural number satisfies the equation x + 5 = 0,
    ∴ B = Φ
    (c) Since 2 is an even prime number, i.e., C = {2}, C is not an empty set.
    (d) Since there is no natural number between 1 and 2, D is an empty set.
