Questions : Which one of the following is a correct statement?

(a) {x : x + 5 = 5} = 0

(b) {x : x + 5 = 5} = {0}

(c) {x : x + 5 = 5} = Φ

(d) {x : x + 5 = 5} = {Φ}

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

Solving the given equation for x, we have

x + 5 = 5 ⇒ x = 5 – 5 = 0

Therefore, in the given set we have only one element i.e. 0. Element Φ is a null set i.e. no elements in the set.

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Question : 1

If A = {x : x is an even natural number},
B = {x : x is a natural number and multiple of 5} and
C = {x : x is a natural number and multiple of 10},
then what is the value of A ∩ (B ∪ C)?

a) {2, 4, 6, ...}

b) {5, 10, 15, 20, ...}

c) {10, 20, 30, ...}

d) {20, 40, 60, ...}

Answer: (c)

We know that

A ∩ (B ∪ C) = {A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)

Example:

A = Set of an even natural number

A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...}

B = Set of natural number and multiples of 5.

B = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ...}

C = Set of natural number and multiple of 10.

C = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, ...}

A ∩ B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...} ∩ {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ...} = {10, 20, 30, ...}

A ∩ C = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...} ∩ {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, ...} = {10, 20, 30, 40, ...}

A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)

= {10, 20, 30, ...} ∪ {10, 20, 30, 40, ...}

= {10, 20, 30, 40, ...}

Question : 2

In a class of 60 boys, there are 45 boys who play chess and 30 boys who plays carrom. If every boy of the class plays at least one of the two games, then how many boys play carrom only?

a) 15

b) 20

c) 30

d) 10

Answer: (a)

Total number of boys in the class

n(A ∪ B) = 60

Number of boy play chess n(A) = 45

Number of boy play carrom n(B) = 30

∴ Number of boy play both chess and Carrom

n(A ∩ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∪ B) = 45 + 30 – 60 = 15

Number of boys plays only carrom n(B) – n(A ∩ B)

= 30 – 15 = 15

42.

Question : 3

Which one of the following is correct?

a) Φ ε {{Φ}, {{Φ}}}

b) {Φ} ε {{Φ}, {{Φ}}}

c) {Φ} ⊂ {{Φ}, {{Φ}}}

d) Φ = {{Φ}, {{Φ}}}

Answer: (b)

Here, {Φ} is an element of {Φ} ε {{Φ}, {{Φ}}}.

Question : 4

If A = {x : $x^2$ – 6x + 8 = 0} and B = {x : $2x^2$ + 3x – 2 = 0} Then, which one of the following is correct?

a) Neither A ⊆ B nor B ⊆ A

b) B ⊆ A

c) A ⊆ B

d) A = B

Answer: (a)

Given, A ≡ $x^2$ – 6x + 8 = 0

⇒ (x – 4) (x – 2) = 0

⇒ x = 4, 2

and B ≡ $2x^2$ + 3x – 2 = 0

⇒ (2x – 1) (x + 2) = 0

⇒ x = $1/2$ , –2

Hence, neither A ⊆ B nor B ⊆ A.

Question : 5

Consider the following for the next three (03) items : In a certain town of population size 1,00,000 three types of newspapers (I, II and III) are available. The percentages of the people in the town who read these papers are as follows :

NewspaperProportion of readers
I10 %
II30 %
III5 %
Both I and II8 %
Both II and III4 %
Both I and III2 %
All the three (I, II and III)1 %
What is the number of people who do not read any of these three newspapers?

a) 66, 000

b) 64, 000

c) 62, 000

d) 68, 000

Answer: (d)

Number of people who do not read any of these newspaper = total population – number of people who read atleast one of these newspapers.

number of people who read atleast one of these newspapers = 1% + 1% + 3% + 1% + 7% + 19% = 32% of total population = 32000

required number of people = 100000 – 32000 = 68000
