    As we know the formula.
    n(A ∪ B ) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A ∩ B )
    Given in the question,
    n(A) = 40;
    n(B) = 26;
    n(A ∩ B ) = 16;

    Correct Option: C

    As we know the formula.
    n(A ∪ B ) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A ∩ B )
    Given in the question,
    n(A) = 40;
    n(B) = 26;
    n(A ∩ B ) = 16;
    Put these value in formula and solve the equation.
    n(A ∪ B ) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A ∩ B )= 40 + 26 – 16 = 50


  1. If A = { 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 } and B = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11} then what is the value of A ? B ?

    As we know that A ? B consists of the all numbers that are common in both the sets A and A.

    Correct Option: C

    As we know that A ? B consists of the all numbers that are common in both the sets A and B.
    The common numbers in the set A and B are 3 , 5 , 7, 11.
    Hence the answer will be { 3, 5, 7, 11}.
