  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,

    A = {2, 4, 6,…........}
    B = {5, 10, 15,…...}
    C = {10, 20, 30,….}

    Correct Option: D

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

    n(A) = 75% of 600 = 450
    n(B) = 45% of 600 = 270 and n(A ∪ B) = 600
    ∵ n(A∩B) = n (A) + n(B) - n(A∪B) = (450 + 270 - 600) = 120

    Correct Option: D

    n(A) = 75% of 600 = 450
    n(B) = 45% of 600 = 270 and n(A ∪ B) = 600
    ∵ n(A∩B) = n (A) + n(B) - n(A∪B) = (450 + 270 - 600) = 120

  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    (a) A = {1, 3}; B = {1, 4}. A and B have different elements,

    (b) A = {x: x + 2 = 2} = {0}; B = {0}. A and B have same elements,

    (c) A = {1, 3, 4, 4} = {1, 3, 4}; B = {3, 1, 4}. A and B have same elements,

    (d) A = { 1,1/2,1/3,... }

    Correct Option: A

    (a) A = {1, 3}; B = {1, 4}. A and B have different elements,
    ∴ A ≠ B.
    (b) A = {x: x + 2 = 2} = {0}; B = {0}. A and B have same elements,
    ∴ A = B.
    (c) A = {1, 3, 4, 4} = {1, 3, 4}; B = {3, 1, 4}. A and B have same elements,
    ∴ A = B.
    (d) A = { 1,1/2,1/3, ................ } ;
    B = {1/n : n ε N} = { 1/1,1/2,1/3,...} .
    A and B have same elements, ∴ A = B.
