Answer: (b)

set-theory-aptitude-mcq

Ratio = ${30}/{2 - x} = {30}/{25 - 4} = {30}/{21} ={10}/7$

Question : 3

Which one of the following is a correct statement?

a) {a, b} ⊆ {{a}, b, c}

b) {a} ⊆ {{a}, b, c}

c) {a} ε {{a}, {b}, c}

d) a ⊆ {{a}, b, c}

Answer: (c)

Here, {a} is an element of {{a}, {b}, {c}}.

Question : 4

What is {[(A ∪ B)' ∩ A]} - (A - B) equal to?

a) B

b) A

c) Φ

d) B'

Answer: (c)

{(A ∪ B)' ∩ A} - (A - B)

= {(U – (A ∪ B)) ∩ A} – (A – B)

= {(U ∩ A) – {(A ∪ B) ∩ A}} – (A – B)

= {A – A} – (A – B)

= Φ – (A – B) = Φ

Question : 5

The set {2, 4, 16, 256, ...} can be represented as which one of the following?

a) {x ε N| x = $2^{4n}$ , n = 0, 1, 2, ..}

b) {x ε N | x = $2^2^n$, n = 0,1, 2, ...}

c) {x ε N | x = $2^2^n$ , n ε N }

d) {x ε N| x = $2^{2n}$, n = 0, 1, 2....}

Answer: (b)

Let A = {2, 4, 16, 256, ...}

This set can be re-written as :

{x ε N | x = $2^2^n$, n = 0, 1, 2, 3,........}

Question : 6

In a gathering of 100 people, 70 of them can speak Hindi, 60 can speak English and 30 can speak French Further, 30 of them can speak both Hindi and English. 20 can speak both Hindi and French. If x is the number of people who can speak both English and French, then which one of the following is correct? (Assume that everyone can speak at least one of the three languages)

a) x = 9

b) 0 ≤ x < 8

c) 9 < x ≤ 30

d) x = 8

Answer: (a)

Let n(A) be no. of people who speak Hindi

⇒ n(A) = 70

Let n(B) be no. of people who speak English

⇒ n(B) = 60

Let n(C) be no. of people who speak French

⇒ n(C) = 30

Given n (A ∪ B ∪ C) = 100

n(A ∩ B) = 30, n(A ∪ C) = 20

n (B ∩ C) = x, n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 1

We know that

n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A) + n(B) + n (C) - n(A ∩ B)

- n (B ∩ C) - n(C ∩ A) - n(A ∩ B ∩ C)

100 = 70 + 60 + 30 – 30 – x – 20 – 1

100 = 109 – x

⇒ x = 109 – 100

⇒ x = 9

∴ Option (a) is correct.
