Answer: (d)

From figure,

set-theory-aptitude-mcq

(A ∩ B) ⊆ A (true)

(A ∩ B) ⊆ B (true)

and A ⊆ (A ∪ B) also (true)

Thus, all three statements are correct.

Shaded region = (A ∪ B).

Question : 1

A is a set of positive integers such that when divided by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 leaves the remainder 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. How many integers between 0 and 100 belong to the set A ?

a) Two

b) One

c) No integer

d) Three

Answer: (b)

LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 60

Number when divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 gives

remainder 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively here 2 – 1 = 1

3 – 2 = 1, 4 – 3, = 1, 5 – 4 = 1, 6 – 5 = 1

So required no. = 60 – 1 = 59

other no. 59 × 2 = 118

i.e. there is one no. below 100.

Question : 2

Which one of the following is a correct statement?

a) Φ = P(Φ)

b) Φ ∉ P (Φ)

c) Φ ε Φ

d) Φ ε P(Φ)

Answer: (d)

In the given options, the correct statement is Φ ε P(Φ).

Question : 3

Which one of the following is an infinite set?

a) {x : x is a positive integer less than or equal to 1000}

b) {x : x is a natural number less than 1000}

c) {x : x is a whole number less than or equal to 1000}

d) {x : x is an integer and less than 1000}

Answer: (d)

In a given option only,

{x : x is an integer and less than 1000}

i.e., x ε (– ∞, 1000) is an infinite set.

Question : 4

The set of natural numbers is closed under
I. addition
II. subtraction
III. multiplication
IV. division
Which of the above is/are correct?

a) I, II and III

b) Both I and III

c) Only I

d) Both III and IV

Answer: (b)

Set of natural numbers,

N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

(i) Addition: 2 + 3 = 5 is also an element of N.

(ii) Subtraction: 2 – 3 = –1 ∉ N

(iii) Multiplication: 2 × 3 = 6 ε N

(iv) Division: $3/2$. = 1.5 ∉ N (since, N contains only positive integers)

Therefore, the set of natural numbers is closed under addition and multiplication.

Question : 5

set-theory-aptitude-mcqThe Venn diagram given above represents four sets of students who have opted for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Electronics. What does the shaded region represent?

a) Students who opted for Mathematics, Physics and Electronics only

b) Students who opted for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

c) Students who opted for Physics, Chemistry and Electronics

d) Students who opted for Mathematics, Chemistry and Electronics only

Answer: (a)

It is clear from the given Venn diagram that shaded portion represent the students who opted for Mathematics, Physics and Electronics only.

Question : 6

Let x ε {2, 3, 4} and y ε {4, 6, 9, 10}. If A be the set of all order pairs (x, y) such that x is a factor of y. Then, how many elements does the set A contain?

a) 7

b) 10

c) 12

d) 6

Answer: (d)

Given that

x ε {2, 3, 4}

and

y ε {4, 6, 9, 10}

A = x × y

But, A is set of pairs in which $1^{st}$ number is factor of second number.

A = {2, 3, 4} × {4, 6, 9, 10}

= {(2, 4); (2, 6); (2, 10); (3, 6); (3, 9); (4, 4)}

Total number of elements = 6
