Question : 1

In a class of 110 students, x students take both Mathematics and Statistics, 2x + 20 students take Mathematics and 2x + 30 students take Statistics. There are no students who take neither Mathematics nor Statistics. What is x equal to?

a) 25

b) 20

c) 15

d) 30

Answer: (b)

n(M) = 2x + 20

n(S) = 2x + 30

n(M ∩ S) = x

n(M ∪ S) = 110

We know that,

n(M ∪ S) = n(M) + n(S) – n(M ∩ S)

⇒ 110 = 2x + 20 + 2x + 30 – x

⇒ 110 = 3x + 50

⇒ 3x = 60

∴ x = 20

Question : 2

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, then what is the number of subsets of A with atleast three elements?

a) 5

b) 4

c) 3

d) 10

Answer: (a)

Given, A = {1, 2, 3, 4}

So, the required subsets are {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4}

and {1, 2, 3, 4}

Question : 3

In an examination, 50% of the candidates failed in English, 40% failed in Hindi and 15% failed in both the subjects. The percentage of candidates who passed in both English and Hindi is

a) 60%

b) 25%

c) 20%

d) 75%

Answer: (b)

Percent of candidates, who failed in either Hindi or English

= (50 + 40 – 15)% = 75%

∴ Percent of candidates who passed in both subject

= 100 – 75 = 25%

Question : 4

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

Question : 5
