AdvancedMCQ
If $A$ and $B$ are any two non-empty sets and $A$ is a proper subset of $B$. If $n(A) = 4$,then the minimum possible value of $n(A \Delta B)$ is (where $\Delta$ denotes the symmetric difference of set $A$ and set $B$).
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$0$
D
$4$

Solution

(B) The symmetric difference of two sets $A$ and $B$ is defined as $A \Delta B = (A - B) \cup (B - A)$.
Since $A$ is a proper subset of $B$ ($A \subset B$ and $A \neq B$),we have $A - B = \emptyset$,so $n(A - B) = 0$.
Because $A$ is a proper subset of $B$,there must be at least one element in $B$ that is not in $A$,which means $n(B - A) \geq 1$.
Therefore,$n(A \Delta B) = n(A - B) + n(B - A) = 0 + n(B - A) \geq 1$.
The minimum possible value of $n(A \Delta B)$ is $1$.

$A - (A - B)$ is
A
$A \cup B$
B
$A \cap B$
C
$A \cap {B^c}$
D
${A^c} \cap B$

Solution

(B) We know that the set difference $A - B$ is defined as $A \cap B^c$.
Substituting this into the expression,we get:
$A - (A - B) = A - (A \cap B^c)$
Using the property $X - Y = X \cap Y^c$,we have:
$A - (A \cap B^c) = A \cap (A \cap B^c)^c$
By De Morgan's Law,$(A \cap B^c)^c = A^c \cup (B^c)^c = A^c \cup B$.
So,$A \cap (A^c \cup B) = (A \cap A^c) \cup (A \cap B)$.
Since $A \cap A^c = \emptyset$,we get $\emptyset \cup (A \cap B) = A \cap B$.
Therefore,$A - (A - B) = A \cap B$.

AdvancedMCQ
Let $A = \{ \theta : 2\cos^2 \theta + \sin \theta \le 2 \}$ and $B = \{ \theta : \frac{\pi}{2} \le \theta \le \frac{3\pi}{2} \}$,then $A \cap B$ is
A
$\left\{ \theta : \theta \in \left[ \pi, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right] \right\}$
B
$\left\{ \theta : \theta \in \left[ \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{7\pi}{6} \right] \right\}$
C
$\left\{ \theta : \theta \in \left[ \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{6} \right] \right\}$
D
$\left\{ \theta : \theta \in \left[ \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{6} \right] \cup \left[ \pi, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right] \right\}$

Solution

(D) Given $2\cos^2 \theta + \sin \theta \le 2$.
Using $\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta$,we get $2(1 - \sin^2 \theta) + \sin \theta \le 2$.
$2 - 2\sin^2 \theta + \sin \theta \le 2$.
$-2\sin^2 \theta + \sin \theta \le 0$.
$2\sin^2 \theta - \sin \theta \ge 0$.
$\sin \theta (2\sin \theta - 1) \ge 0$.
This inequality holds when $\sin \theta \le 0$ or $\sin \theta \ge \frac{1}{2}$.
For $\sin \theta \le 0$,$\theta \in [\pi, 2\pi]$.
For $\sin \theta \ge \frac{1}{2}$,$\theta \in [\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}]$.
Thus,$A = [\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}] \cup [\pi, 2\pi]$.
Given $B = [\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}]$.
$A \cap B = ([\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}] \cup [\pi, 2\pi]) \cap [\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}]$.
$A \cap B = [\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{6}] \cup [\pi, \frac{3\pi}{2}]$.

DifficultMCQ
In a class of $140$ students numbered $1$ to $140$,all even-numbered students opted for the Mathematics course,those whose number is divisible by $3$ opted for the Physics course,and those whose number is divisible by $5$ opted for the Chemistry course. The number of students who did not opt for any of the three courses is:
A
$102$
B
$42$
C
$1$
D
$38$

Solution

(D) Let $M$,$P$,and $C$ be the sets of students who opted for Mathematics,Physics,and Chemistry,respectively.
$n(M) = \lfloor \frac{140}{2} \rfloor = 70$
$n(P) = \lfloor \frac{140}{3} \rfloor = 46$
$n(C) = \lfloor \frac{140}{5} \rfloor = 28$
Now,find the intersections:
$n(M \cap P) = \lfloor \frac{140}{\text{lcm}(2,3)} \rfloor = \lfloor \frac{140}{6} \rfloor = 23$
$n(M \cap C) = \lfloor \frac{140}{\text{lcm}(2,5)} \rfloor = \lfloor \frac{140}{10} \rfloor = 14$
$n(P \cap C) = \lfloor \frac{140}{\text{lcm}(3,5)} \rfloor = \lfloor \frac{140}{15} \rfloor = 9$
$n(M \cap P \cap C) = \lfloor \frac{140}{\text{lcm}(2,3,5)} \rfloor = \lfloor \frac{140}{30} \rfloor = 4$
Using the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion:
$n(M \cup P \cup C) = n(M) + n(P) + n(C) - (n(M \cap P) + n(M \cap C) + n(P \cap C)) + n(M \cap P \cap C)$
$n(M \cup P \cup C) = 70 + 46 + 28 - (23 + 14 + 9) + 4 = 144 - 46 + 4 = 102$
The number of students who did not opt for any course is $140 - 102 = 38$.

DifficultMCQ
Let $A, B$ and $C$ be sets such that $\phi \ne A \cap B \subseteq C$. Then which of the following statements is not true?
A
If $(A - C) \subseteq B$ then $A \subseteq B$
B
If $(A - B) \subseteq C$ then $A \subseteq C$
C
$(C \cup A) \cap (C \cup B) = C$
D
$B \cap C \ne \phi$

Solution

(A) Given $\phi \ne A \cap B \subseteq C$.
Check option $(A)$: If $(A - C) \subseteq B$ then $A \subseteq B$.
Let $A = \{1, 2\}$,$B = \{2, 3\}$,$C = \{2\}$.
Here $A \cap B = \{2\} \subseteq C$ and $A \cap B \ne \phi$.
$A - C = \{1\}$. Since ${1} \not\subseteq \{2, 3\}$,the condition $(A - C) \subseteq B$ is not satisfied for this example.
However,consider $A = \{1, 2\}$,$B = \{1, 3\}$,$C = \{2\}$.
$A \cap B = \{1\} \subseteq C$ is false.
Let $A = \{1, 2\}$,$B = \{2, 3\}$,$C = \{1, 2\}$.
$A \cap B = \{2\} \subseteq C$.
$A - C = \phi \subseteq B$ is true.
But $A = \{1, 2\} \not\subseteq B = \{2, 3\}$.
Thus,the statement in option $(A)$ is not true.

MediumMCQ
If $A = \{x \in R : |x| < 2\}$ and $B = \{x \in R : |x - 2| \geq 3\}$,then:
A
$A \cup B = R - (2, 5)$
B
$A \cap B = (-2, -1)$
C
$B - A = R - (-2, 5)$
D
$A - B = [-1, 2)$

Solution

(C) Given $A = \{x \in R : |x| < 2\} = (-2, 2)$.
Given $B = \{x \in R : |x - 2| \geq 3\}$.
This implies $x - 2 \geq 3$ or $x - 2 \leq -3$.
So,$x \geq 5$ or $x \leq -1$.
Thus,$B = (-\infty, -1] \cup [5, \infty)$.
Now,$B - A$ is the set of elements in $B$ that are not in $A$.
$B - A = ((-\infty, -1] \cup [5, \infty)) - (-2, 2)$.
Since $(-2, 2)$ overlaps with $(-\infty, -1]$ only on the interval $(-2, -1]$,we remove this part.
$B - A = (-\infty, -2] \cup [5, \infty)$.
This can be written as $R - (-2, 5)$.
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

EasyMCQ
Consider the experiment of rolling a die. Let $A$ be the event 'getting a prime number' and $B$ be the event 'getting an odd number'. Write the set representing the event '$A$ or $B$'.
A
$\{1, 2, 4, 5\}$
B
$\{1, 2, 5\}$
C
$\{1, 2, 3\}$
D
$\{1, 2, 3, 5\}$

Solution

(D) The sample space of rolling a die is $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
Event $A$ (getting a prime number) is $A = \{2, 3, 5\}$.
Event $B$ (getting an odd number) is $B = \{1, 3, 5\}$.
The event '$A$ or $B$' is represented by the union of the two sets,$A \cup B$.
$A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 5\}$.

EasyMCQ
Consider the experiment of rolling a die. Let $A$ be the event 'getting a prime number' and $B$ be the event 'getting an odd number'. Write the set representing the event '$A$ but not $B$'.
A
$\{1\}$
B
$\{2\}$
C
$\{3\}$
D
$\{5\}$

Solution

(B) The sample space of rolling a die is $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
Event $A$ (getting a prime number) is $A = \{2, 3, 5\}$.
Event $B$ (getting an odd number) is $B = \{1, 3, 5\}$.
The event '$A$ but not $B$' is represented by the set difference $A - B$.
$A - B = \{2, 3, 5\} - \{1, 3, 5\} = \{2\}$.
Thus,the correct set is $\{2\}$.
59
EasyMCQ
$A$ die is thrown. Describe the event $A$: a number less than $7$. Find $A \cup B$ if $B$ is the event of getting a number $3$.
A
$\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$
B
$\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 3\}$
C
$\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$
D
$\{3\}$

Solution

(A) When a die is thrown,the sample space is $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
The event $A$ is defined as a number less than $7$,so $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
The event $B$ is defined as getting a number $3$,so $B = \{3\}$.
Therefore,$A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} \cup \{3\} = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
60
EasyMCQ
$A$ die is thrown. Describe the following events: $A$: a number less than $7$,$B$: a number greater than $7$. Find $A \cap B$.
A
$\phi$
B
$\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$
C
$\{7\}$
D
$\{6\}$

Solution

(A) When a die is thrown,the sample space is $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
Event $A$ is defined as a number less than $7$,so $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
Event $B$ is defined as a number greater than $7$,so $B = \phi$ (since no such number exists on a standard die).
The intersection $A \cap B$ represents the set of elements common to both $A$ and $B$.
Since $B$ is an empty set,$A \cap B = \phi$.

EasyMCQ
Let $A = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ and $B = \{6, 8, 10, 12\}$. Find $A \cup B$.
A
$\text{A} \cup \text{B} = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12\}$
B
$\text{A} \cup \text{B} = \{6, 8\}$
C
$\text{A} \cup \text{B} = \{2, 4, 10, 12\}$
D
$\text{A} \cup \text{B} = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 6, 8, 10, 12\}$

Solution

(A) The union of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A \cup B$,is the set of all elements which are in $A$,in $B$,or in both.
Given $A = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ and $B = \{6, 8, 10, 12\}$.
Combining all elements and listing common elements only once,we get:
$A \cup B = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12\}$.

Easy
Let $A = \{a, e, i, o, u\}$ and $B = \{a, i, u\}$. Show that $A \cup B = A$.

Solution

(N/A) We have $A = \{a, e, i, o, u\}$ and $B = \{a, i, u\}$.
$A \cup B = \{a, e, i, o, u\} \cup \{a, i, u\} = \{a, e, i, o, u\}$.
Since the resulting set is exactly $A$,we have $A \cup B = A$.
This example illustrates that the union of a set $A$ and its subset $B$ is the set $A$ itself,i.e.,if $B \subset A$,then $A \cup B = A$.

Solution

(A) The union of two sets $X$ and $Y$ is the set of all elements that are in $X$,in $Y$,or in both.
$X \cup Y = \{ \text{Ram, Geeta, Akbar} \} \cup \{ \text{Geeta, David, Ashok} \} = \{ \text{Ram, Geeta, Akbar, David, Ashok} \}$.
This set represents all students of Class $XI$ who are in the hockey team,the football team,or both.

Consider the sets $A$ and $B$ where $A = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ and $B = \{6, 8, 10, 12\}$. Find $A \cap B$.
A
$\{6, 8\}$
B
$\{2, 4\}$
C
$\{10, 12\}$
D
$\{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12\}$

Solution

(A) The intersection of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A \cap B$,is the set of all elements that are common to both $A$ and $B$.
Given $A = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ and $B = \{6, 8, 10, 12\}$.
The elements common to both sets are $6$ and $8$.
Therefore,$A \cap B = \{6, 8\}$.

EasyMCQ
Consider the sets $X$ and $Y$ where $X = \{ \text{Ram, Geeta, Akbar} \}$ and $Y = \{ \text{Geeta, David, Ashok} \}$. Find $X \cap Y$.
A
$\text{\{Ram, Geeta\}}$
B
$\text{\{Geeta\}}$
C
$\text{\{Akbar, David\}}$
D
$\text{\{Ram, Geeta, Akbar, David, Ashok\}}$

Solution

(B) The intersection of two sets $X$ and $Y$,denoted by $X \cap Y$,consists of all elements that are common to both sets $X$ and $Y$.
Given $X = \{ \text{Ram, Geeta, Akbar} \}$ and $Y = \{ \text{Geeta, David, Ashok} \}$.
Comparing the elements of both sets,we observe that $\text{Geeta}$ is the only element present in both $X$ and $Y$.
Therefore,$X \cap Y = \{ \text{Geeta} \}$.

Easy
Let $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}$ and $B = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}$. Find $A \cap B$ and hence show that $A \cap B = B$.

Solution

(N/A) The intersection of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A \cap B$,is the set of all elements which are common to both $A$ and $B$.
Given $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}$ and $B = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}$.
The common elements in $A$ and $B$ are $2, 3, 5,$ and $7$.
Therefore,$A \cap B = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}$.
Since the set $\{2, 3, 5, 7\}$ is exactly the set $B$,we have $A \cap B = B$.
67
EasyMCQ
Let $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ and $B = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$. Find $A - B$ and $B - A$.
A
$A - B = \{1, 3, 5\}, B - A = \{8\}$
B
$A - B = \{1, 3\}, B - A = \{8\}$
C
$A - B = \{1, 5\}, B - A = \{8\}$
D
$A - B = \{1, 3, 5\}, B - A = \{2, 8\}$

Solution

(A) The difference of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A - B$,is the set of elements which belong to $A$ but not to $B$.
Given $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ and $B = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$.
$A - B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \notin B\} = \{1, 3, 5\}$.
Similarly,$B - A = \{x : x \in B \text{ and } x \notin A\} = \{8\}$.
Thus,$A - B = \{1, 3, 5\}$ and $B - A = \{8\}$.
68
Easy
Let $V = \{a, e, i, o, u\}$ and $B = \{a, i, k, u\}$. Find $V - B$ and $B - V$.

Solution

(N/A) We have,$V - B = \{e, o\}$,since the elements $e, o$ belong to $V$ but not to $B$.
$B - V = \{k\}$,since the element $k$ belongs to $B$ but not to $V$.
We note that $V - B \neq B - V$. Using the set-builder notation,we can rewrite the definition of difference as:
$A - B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \notin B\}$.
The difference of two sets $A$ and $B$ can be represented by a Venn diagram as shown in the figure below.
The shaded portion represents the difference of the two sets $A$ and $B$.

Given $X = \{1, 3, 5\}$ and $Y = \{1, 2, 3\}$.
$X \cup Y = \{1, 3, 5\} \cup \{1, 2, 3\} = \{1, 2, 3, 5\}$.

Given $A = \{a, e, i, o, u\}$ and $B = \{a, b, c\}$.
$A \cup B = \{a, e, i, o, u\} \cup \{a, b, c\}$.
Combining all unique elements,we get $A \cup B = \{a, b, c, e, i, o, u\}$.

Find the union of each of the following pairs of sets:
$A = \{ x : x \text{ is a natural number and } 1 < x \le 6 \}$
$B = \{ x : x \text{ is a natural number and } 6 < x < 10 \}$

Solution

First,represent the sets in roster form:
$A = \{ x : x \in \mathbb{N}, 1 < x \le 6 \} = \{ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 \}$
$B = \{ x : x \in \mathbb{N}, 6 < x < 10 \} = \{ 7, 8, 9 \}$
The union of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A \cup B$,is the set of all elements which are in $A$ or in $B$.
$A \cup B = \{ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 \}$
In set-builder form,this can be written as:
$A \cup B = \{ x : x \in \mathbb{N} \text{ and } 1 < x < 10 \}$

A
$A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3\}$
B
$A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, \varnothing\}$
C
$A \cup B = \varnothing$
D
$A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 0\}$

Solution

(A) The union of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A \cup B$,is the set of all elements which are in $A$ or in $B$ or in both.
Given $A = \{1, 2, 3\}$ and $B = \varnothing$ (the empty set).
Since the empty set contains no elements,the union $A \cup B$ consists only of the elements present in set $A$.
Therefore,$A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3\}$.
73
EasyMCQ
Let $A = \{a, b\}$ and $B = \{a, b, c\}$. Is $A \subset B$? What is $A \cup B$?
A
Yes,$A \subset B$ and $A \cup B = \{a, b, c\}$
B
No,$A \not\subset B$ and $A \cup B = \{a, b, c\}$
C
Yes,$A \subset B$ and $A \cup B = \{a, b\}$
D
No,$A \not\subset B$ and $A \cup B = \{a, b\}$

Solution

(A) Given sets are $A = \{a, b\}$ and $B = \{a, b, c\}$.
Since every element of $A$ is also an element of $B$,$A$ is a subset of $B$,i.e.,$A \subset B$.
The union of two sets $A$ and $B$ is the set of all elements which are in $A$ or in $B$.
Therefore,$A \cup B = \{a, b\} \cup \{a, b, c\} = \{a, b, c\} = B$.

If $A$ and $B$ are two sets such that $A \subset B$,then what is $A \cup B$?
A
$A$
B
$B$
C
$\phi$
D
$A \cap B$

Solution

(B) Given that $A \subset B$,every element of set $A$ is also an element of set $B$.
Therefore,the union of $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A \cup B$,consists of all elements that are in $A$ or in $B$.
Since all elements of $A$ are already in $B$,the union $A \cup B$ is equal to $B$.

$C = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, \ldots \}$
$D = \{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, \ldots \}$
The intersection $C \cap D$ consists of elements that are common to both set $C$ (odd natural numbers) and set $D$ (prime numbers).
Since $2$ is the only even prime number,all other prime numbers are odd.
Therefore,$C \cap D = \{ x : x \text{ is an odd prime number} \} = \{3, 5, 7, 11, \ldots \}$.
