Set Theory Model Questions Set 1 Section-Wise Topic Notes With Detailed Explanation And Example Questions
MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 2 EXERCISES
The following question based on Set Theory topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) B ⊆ A
(b) A ⊆ B
(c) A = B
(d) A ⊆ $B^C$
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (a)
Given that,
A = {x : x is an odd integer}
and B = {x : $x^2$ – 8x + 15 = 0}
= (x : $x^2$ – 5x – 3x + 15 = 0)
= {x : x (x – 5) – 3(x – 5) = 0}
= {x : (x – 5) (x – 3) = 0} = {3, 5}
Since, B has the odd elements,
∴ B ⊆ A

Question : 1
The value of k, for which the system of equation 3x – ky – 20 = 0 and 6x – 10y + 40 = 0 has no solution, is
a) 6
b) 5
c) 10
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (b)
Given that system of equations has no solution
⇒ |A| = 0
|A| = – 30 + 6 k
But |A| = 0
⇒ 6k – 30 = 0
⇒ k = 5
∴ Option (b) is correct.
Question : 2
It is given that the equations $x^2 – y^2$ = 0 and $(x – a)^2 + y^2$ = 1 have single positive solution. For this, the value of 'a' is
a) 2
b) - $√2$
c) $√2$
d) 1
Answer »Answer: (c)
$x^2 – y^2$ = 0
(Equation of y = |x|)
$(x – a)^2 + y^2$ = 1
[Equation of a circle with centre (a, 0) and radius 1]
These have single positive solution
⇒ y = |x| to be tangent to the circle
AB = radius of circle
∠AOB = 45°
∠OAB = 90°
[tangent to the circle]
∠ABO = 45°
Length of OB = $√{AB^2 + OA^2} = √{1^2 + 1^2}$
OB = $√2$
Question : 3
If 65x – 33y = 97 and 33x – 65y = 1, then what is xy equal to?
a) 3
b) –2
c) 2
d) –3
Answer »Answer: (c)
65x – 33y = 97 .... (i)
(given)
33x – 65y = 1 ....(ii)
(given)
From eq (i) + eq (ii)
98x – 98y = 98
98(x – y) = 98 ∴ x – y = 1 ....(iii)
Now
From eq (i) × 1 – eq (iii) × 33
65x - 33y = 97
- 33x + 33y = - 33
32x = 64
∴ $x = 64/32$ = 2
From eq (iii)
x – y = 1
2 – y = 1
∴ y = 2 – 1 = 1
Hence, xy = 2 × 1 = 2
Question : 4
Let :
P = Set of all integral multiples of 3
Q = Set of all integral multiples of 4
R = Set of all integral multiples of 6
Consider the following relations:
I. P ∪ Q = R
II. P ⊂ R
III. R ⊂ (P ∪ Q)
Which of the relations given above is/are correct?
a) Only III
b) Only II
c) Only I
d) II and III
Answer »Answer: (a)
Here, P = {..., –6, –3, 0, 3, 6, ...}
Q = {..., –8, – 4, 0, 4, 8, ...}
and R = {..., –36, –6, 0, 6, 36, ...}
I. P ∪ Q = {..., –8, –6, – 4, –3, 0 3, 4, 6, 8, ...} ≠ R
II. Here, P ⊄ R
III. Here, R ⊂ (P ∪ Q) is true.
Question : 5
In a competitive examination, 250 students have registered. Out of these, 50 students have registered for Physics, 75 students for Mathematics and 35 students for both Mathematics and Physics. What is the number of students who have registered neither for Physics nor for Mathematics?
a) 150
b) 100
c) 90
d) 160
Answer »Answer: (d)
Number of students registered for
Physics n(P) = 50
Mathematics n(M) = 75
Number of students registered for both subjects n(P ∩ M) = 35.
Number of students, registered for either physics or mathematics
n(P ∪ M) = n(P) + n(M) – n(P ∩ M).
= 50 + 75 – 35 = 90
∴ Number of students registered neither for physics nor for mathematics
n($\ov{P ∪ M}$) = 250 – 90 = 160.
Question : 6
In the quadratic equation $x^2$ + ax + b = 0, a and b can take any value from the set {1, 2, 3, 4}. How many pairs of values of a and b are possible in order that the quadratic equation has real roots?
a) 8
b) 7
c) 6
d) 16
Answer »Answer: (b)
$x^2$ + ax + b = 0 | value 0f (a, b) |
$a^2$ - ab ≥ 0 | [1, 2, 3, 4] |
for real roots | |
$1^2$ - 4 × 1 ≥ 0 | (1, 1) |
not possible
(2, 1) → $2^2$ – 4 × 1 ≥ 0 possible
(3, 1) → possible
(3, 2), (4, 1), (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) → possible
So → possible values can be possible
