Set Theory Questions in English

(C) Let $y = \frac{x^2 + 14x + 9}{x^2 + 2x + 3}$.
Multiplying both sides by the denominator,we get $x^2 + 14x + 9 = y(x^2 + 2x + 3)$.
Rearranging the terms to form a quadratic equation in $x$: $x^2(1 - y) + x(14 - 2y) + (9 - 3y) = 0$.
Since $x$ is real,the discriminant $D$ must be greater than or equal to $0$ $(D \ge 0)$.
$D = (14 - 2y)^2 - 4(1 - y)(9 - 3y) \ge 0$.
Expanding the terms: $(196 + 4y^2 - 56y) - 4(9 - 3y - 9y + 3y^2) \ge 0$.
$196 + 4y^2 - 56y - 36 + 48y - 12y^2 \ge 0$.
$-8y^2 - 8y + 160 \ge 0$.
Dividing by $-8$ (and reversing the inequality sign): $y^2 + y - 20 \le 0$.
Factoring the quadratic: $(y + 5)(y - 4) \le 0$.
Thus,the value of $y$ lies between $-5$ and $4$ inclusive,i.e.,$-5 \le y \le 4$.

(D) Given $f(\theta) = \sec^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta$.
We know that for any real $\theta$,$\sec^2 \theta \ge 1$ and $0 < \cos^2 \theta \le 1$.
Specifically,for $\theta > \frac{\pi}{3}$,we have $\sec \theta > \sec(\frac{\pi}{3}) = 2$,so $\sec^2 \theta > 4$.
However,using the $AM$-$GM$ inequality for positive terms $a = \sec^2 \theta$ and $b = \cos^2 \theta$:
$f(\theta) = \sec^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta \ge 2 \sqrt{\sec^2 \theta \cdot \cos^2 \theta} = 2 \sqrt{1} = 2$.
The minimum value is $2$ when $\sec^2 \theta = \cos^2 \theta$,which implies $\cos^4 \theta = 1$,or $\cos^2 \theta = 1$ (i.e.,$\theta = 0$,but here $\theta > \frac{\pi}{3}$).
As $\theta \to \frac{\pi}{2}$,$\sec^2 \theta \to \infty$,so $f(\theta) \to \infty$.
Thus,the range is $[2, \infty)$.

(A) The function is defined when the argument of the natural logarithm is strictly positive.
Thus,we require $x - [x] > 0$.
By definition,the fractional part of $x$ is denoted as $\{x\} = x - [x]$.
The condition $x - [x] > 0$ implies $\{x\} > 0$.
The fractional part $\{x\}$ is always non-negative,i.e.,$\{x\} \ge 0$.
It is equal to $0$ if and only if $x$ is an integer $(x \in Z)$.
Therefore,$\{x\} > 0$ holds for all real numbers except integers.
Hence,the domain is $R - Z$.

(B) For the function $f(x) = \frac{1}{\log_{10}(1 - x)} + \sqrt{x + 2}$ to be defined:
$1$. The term inside the square root must be non-negative: $x + 2 \ge 0 \implies x \ge -2$.
$2$. The argument of the logarithm must be positive: $1 - x > 0 \implies x < 1$.
$3$. The denominator must not be zero: $\log_{10}(1 - x) \ne 0 \implies 1 - x \ne 1 \implies x \ne 0$.
Combining these conditions: $x \ge -2$,$x < 1$,and $x \ne 0$.
Thus,the domain is $[-2, 0) \cup (0, 1)$.

(B) Given: $A \cap B = A \cap C$ and $A \cup B = A \cup C$.
Consider the set $B$. We can write $B = B \cap (A \cup B)$.
Since $A \cup B = A \cup C$,we have $B = B \cap (A \cup C)$.
Using the distributive law,$B = (B \cap A) \cup (B \cap C)$.
Since $A \cap B = A \cap C$,we have $B = (A \cap C) \cup (B \cap C)$.
By the distributive law,$B = (A \cup B) \cap C$.
Since $A \cup B = A \cup C$,we have $B = (A \cup C) \cap C$.
Since $(A \cup C) \cap C = C$,it follows that $B = C$.

(B) For set $X$,we have $X = \{ 4^n - 3n - 1 : n \in N \}$.
For $n = 1$,$4^1 - 3(1) - 1 = 0$.
For $n = 2$,$4^2 - 3(2) - 1 = 16 - 6 - 1 = 9$.
For $n = 3$,$4^3 - 3(3) - 1 = 64 - 9 - 1 = 54$.
Thus,$X = \{ 0, 9, 54, 243, \dots \}$.
For set $Y$,we have $Y = \{ 9(n - 1) : n \in N \}$.
For $n = 1$,$9(1 - 1) = 0$.
For $n = 2$,$9(2 - 1) = 9$.
For $n = 3$,$9(3 - 1) = 18$.
Thus,$Y = \{ 0, 9, 18, 27, \dots \}$.
Since every element of $X$ is a multiple of $9$ and $X \subset Y$ (as $4^n - 3n - 1$ is always divisible by $9$ for $n \in N$),the union $X \cup Y$ is equal to $Y$.

(B) Let $t = \sqrt{x}$,where $t \ge 0$. The equation becomes $2|t - 3| + t(t - 6) + 6 = 0$.
Case-$I$: $0 \le t < 3$ (i.e.,$0 \le x < 9$)
$2(3 - t) + t^2 - 6t + 6 = 0$
$6 - 2t + t^2 - 6t + 6 = 0$
$t^2 - 8t + 12 = 0$
$(t - 6)(t - 2) = 0$
$t = 6$ or $t = 2$. Since $0 \le t < 3$,we have $t = 2$,which implies $x = 4$.
Case-$II$: $t \ge 3$ (i.e.,$x \ge 9$)
$2(t - 3) + t^2 - 6t + 6 = 0$
$2t - 6 + t^2 - 6t + 6 = 0$
$t^2 - 4t = 0$
$t(t - 4) = 0$
$t = 0$ or $t = 4$. Since $t \ge 3$,we have $t = 4$,which implies $x = 16$.
Thus,$S = \{4, 16\}$,which contains exactly two elements.

(A) For the function $f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{|x| - x}}$ to be defined,the expression inside the square root must be strictly greater than zero.
Therefore,we require $|x| - x > 0$.
This inequality can be rewritten as $|x| > x$.
Case $1$: If $x \geq 0$,then $|x| = x$. The inequality becomes $x - x > 0$,which simplifies to $0 > 0$. This is false for all $x \geq 0$.
Case $2$: If $x < 0$,then $|x| = -x$. The inequality becomes $-x - x > 0$,which simplifies to $-2x > 0$,or $x < 0$.
Since the condition $x < 0$ satisfies the inequality for all negative values,the domain of the function is $(-\infty, 0)$.

(B) Let the two sets be $A$ and $B$ with $|A| = m$ and $|B| = n$.
The number of subsets of set $A$ is $2^m$ and the number of subsets of set $B$ is $2^n$.
According to the problem,$2^m - 2^n = 56$.
We can factor this as $2^n(2^{m-n} - 1) = 56$.
Since $56 = 8 \times 7 = 2^3 \times 7$,we compare the powers of $2$ and the odd factors.
Thus,$2^n = 2^3$,which implies $n = 3$.
Also,$2^{m-n} - 1 = 7$,which implies $2^{m-n} = 8 = 2^3$.
Therefore,$m - n = 3$.
Substituting $n = 3$,we get $m - 3 = 3$,so $m = 6$.
Thus,the values are $m = 6$ and $n = 3$.

(C) Let $n(S)$ be the number of elements in the set $S$.
Given that each of the $30$ sets $A_i$ has $5$ elements, the total number of elements counted with multiplicity is $30 \times 5 = 150$.
Since each element of $S$ belongs to exactly $10$ of the sets $A_i$, we have $n(S) = \frac{30 \times 5}{10} = 15$.
Similarly, each of the $n$ sets $B_j$ has $3$ elements, so the total number of elements counted with multiplicity is $n \times 3 = 3n$.
Since each element of $S$ belongs to exactly $9$ of the sets $B_j$, we have $n(S) = \frac{3n}{9} = \frac{n}{3}$.
Equating the two expressions for $n(S)$, we get $\frac{n}{3} = 15$, which implies $n = 45$.

(C) The total number of subsets of a set $A$ with $n$ elements is given by the formula $2^n$.
Here,the set $A = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \}$ has $n = 5$ elements.
Therefore,the total number of subsets is $2^5 = 32$.
$A$ proper subset is any subset of $A$ except the set $A$ itself.
Thus,the number of proper subsets is $2^n - 1$.
Substituting $n = 5$,we get $2^5 - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31$.

(D) Given that $A$ is not a subset of $B$ $(A \not\subseteq B)$.
By definition, this means there exists at least one element $x$ such that $x \in A$ and $x \notin B$.
Since $x \notin B$, it follows that $x \in B^c$ (where $B^c$ is the complement of $B$ with respect to $X$).
Therefore, there exists an element $x$ such that $x \in A$ and $x \in B^c$.
This implies that the intersection $A \cap B^c$ is non-empty $(A \cap B^c \neq \emptyset)$.
Thus, $A$ and the complement of $B$ are always non-disjoint.

(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 $B$.
By definition,$A \cap B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \in B\}$.
Given $A = \{x : f(x) = 0\}$ and $B = \{x : g(x) = 0\}$,the intersection is $A \cap B = \{x : f(x) = 0 \text{ and } g(x) = 0\}$.
For real-valued functions,the condition $f(x) = 0$ and $g(x) = 0$ is equivalent to the condition ${[f(x)]^2} + {[g(x)]^2} = 0$,because the sum of squares of two real numbers is zero if and only if each number is zero individually.

(A) Given that $A \subseteq B$,which means every element of set $A$ is also an element of set $B$.
Therefore,the intersection of $A$ and $B$ is simply set $A$,i.e.,$A \cap B = A$.
Thus,the number of elements in $A \cap B$ is equal to the number of elements in $A$.
$n(A \cap B) = n(A) = 3$.

(C) Let $P$ be the set of families owning a phone and $C$ be the set of families owning a car.
Given: $n(P) = 25\%$,$n(C) = 15\%$,and $n(P^c \cap C^c) = 65\%$.
Since $n(P^c \cap C^c) = 65\%$,the percentage of families owning at least one (phone or car) is $n(P \cup C) = 100\% - 65\% = 35\%$.
Using the formula $n(P \cup C) = n(P) + n(C) - n(P \cap C)$:
$35\% = 25\% + 15\% - n(P \cap C)$
$n(P \cap C) = 40\% - 35\% = 5\%$.
Thus,statement $1$ is incorrect because $5\%$,not $10\%$,of families own both.
Statement $2$ is correct because $n(P \cup C) = 35\%$.
Since $5\%$ of the total families $= 2000$,the total number of families $= (2000 / 5) \times 100 = 40,000$.
Thus,statement $3$ is correct.
Therefore,statements $2$ and $3$ are correct.

(C) The given linear congruence is $8x \equiv 6 \pmod{14}$.
This can be written as $8x - 6 = 14k$ for some integer $k \in \mathbb{Z}$.
Dividing by $2$,we get $4x - 3 = 7k$,which implies $4x \equiv 3 \pmod{7}$.
To solve for $x$,we multiply by the modular inverse of $4$ modulo $7$. Since $4 \times 2 = 8 \equiv 1 \pmod{7}$,the inverse is $2$.
Multiplying by $2$: $8x \equiv 6 \pmod{7}$,which simplifies to $x \equiv 6 \pmod{7}$.
This means $x$ can be of the form $7n + 6$ for any integer $n$.
For $n=0, x=6$; for $n=1, x=13$; for $n=2, x=20$; for $n=3, x=27$,and so on.
The set of solutions is ${..., 6, 13, 20, 27, 34, 41, ...}$.
This set can be represented as the union of two equivalence classes modulo $14$: $[6] = {..., 6, 20, 34, ...}$ and $[13] = {..., 13, 27, 41, ...}$.
Thus,the solution set is $[6] \cup [13]$.

(D) $1$. Observe the Venn diagram carefully.
$2$. The set $C$ represents the entire circle labeled $C$.
$3$. The shaded region represents all elements that are in set $C$ but are $NOT$ in set $A$ and $NOT$ in set $B$.
$4$. This means we are removing the union of sets $A$ and $B$ from set $C$.
$5$. Mathematically,this is represented as $C - (A \cup B)$.

(B) For each element $x \in S$,there are four possibilities for its membership in sets $A$ and $B$ such that $x \in A \cup B$:
$1$. $x \in A$ and $x \notin B$
$2$. $x \notin A$ and $x \in B$
$3$. $x \in A$ and $x \in B$
Since $A \cup B = S$,the case where $x \notin A$ and $x \notin B$ is excluded.
Thus,for each of the $4$ elements in $S$,there are $3$ choices.
Since there are $4$ elements in $S$,the total number of ordered pairs $(A, B)$ is $3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 3^4 = 81$.

(A) Given $2n(A \setminus B) = n(B \setminus A)$. Since $n(A \setminus B) = n(A) - n(A \cap B)$ and $n(B \setminus A) = n(B) - n(A \cap B)$,we have:
$2(n(A) - n(A \cap B)) = n(B) - n(A \cap B)$
$2n(A) - 2n(A \cap B) = n(B) - n(A \cap B)$
$n(A \cap B) = 2n(A) - n(B) \quad \dots(1)$
Also given $5n(A \cap B) = n(A) + 3n(B) \quad \dots(2)$
Substitute $(1)$ into $(2)$:
$5(2n(A) - n(B)) = n(A) + 3n(B)$
$10n(A) - 5n(B) = n(A) + 3n(B)$
$9n(A) = 8n(B) \implies \frac{n(A)}{n(B)} = \frac{8}{9}$.
Let $n(A) = 8k$ and $n(B) = 9k$. Then $n(A \cap B) = 2(8k) - 9k = 7k$.
We know $n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 8k + 9k - 7k = 10k$.
Given $n(A \cup B) \leq 10$,so $10k \leq 10 \implies k = 1$.
Thus,$n(A) = 8, n(B) = 9, n(A \cap B) = 7$.
The required value is $\frac{8 \cdot 9 \cdot 7}{8} = 9 \cdot 7 = 63$.

(D) We know that for any sets $A, B, C$,the intersection of two Cartesian products is given by the formula:
$(A \times B) \cap (B \times C) = (A \cap B) \times (B \cap C)$.
Therefore,the number of elements is given by:
$n((A \times B) \cap (B \times C)) = n((A \cap B) \times (B \cap C)) = n(A \cap B) \times n(B \cap C)$.
Given that $n(A \cap B) = 2$ and $n(B \cap C) = 2$,we have:
$n((A \times B) \cap (B \times C)) = 2 \times 2 = 4$.

(C) The set difference $A - B$ is defined as the set of elements that are in $A$ but not in $B$.
$1$. $A - B = A \cap B'$ is a standard identity.
$2$. $A - (A \cap B) = A \cap (A \cap B)' = A \cap (A' \cup B') = (A \cap A') \cup (A \cap B') = \emptyset \cup (A \cap B') = A \cap B'$,which is equal to $A - B$.
$3$. $(A \cup B) - B = (A \cup B) \cap B' = (A \cap B') \cup (B \cap B') = (A \cap B') \cup \emptyset = A \cap B'$,which is equal to $A - B$.
$4$. $A - B'$ is equal to $A \cap (B')' = A \cap B$,which is generally not equal to $A - B$ unless $A \cap B = \emptyset$.
Therefore,the statement $A - B = A - B'$ is false.

(A) Let $N$ be the total number of distinct elements in set $S$.
Given that each set $X_r$ has $5$ elements and there are $24$ such sets,the total number of elements counted with repetition is $5 \times 24 = 120$.
Since each element of $S$ belongs to exactly $10$ of the $X_r$'s,we have $10N = 120$,which implies $N = 12$.
Similarly,each set $Y_r$ has $4$ elements and there are $n$ such sets,so the total number of elements counted with repetition is $4n$.
Since each element of $S$ belongs to exactly $6$ of the $Y_r$'s,we have $6N = 4n$.
Substituting $N = 12$ into the equation,we get $6(12) = 4n$.
$72 = 4n$,which gives $n = 18$.

(A) We test the inequality $3^n < n!$ for various values of $n$:
For $n = 1: 3^1 = 3, 1! = 1$. $3 < 1$ is False.
For $n = 2: 3^2 = 9, 2! = 2$. $9 < 2$ is False.
For $n = 3: 3^3 = 27, 3! = 6$. $27 < 6$ is False.
For $n = 4: 3^4 = 81, 4! = 24$. $81 < 24$ is False.
For $n = 5: 3^5 = 243, 5! = 120$. $243 < 120$ is False.
For $n = 6: 3^6 = 729, 6! = 720$. $729 < 720$ is False.
For $n = 7: 3^7 = 2187, 7! = 5040$. $2187 < 5040$ is True.
Since the inequality holds for $n = 7$ and the growth rate of $n!$ is faster than $3^n$ for $n > 6$,the smallest value of $\lambda$ is $7$.

(B) According to De Morgan's Law,$n(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) = n(\overline{A \cup B})$.
We know that $n(\overline{A \cup B}) = n(U) - n(A \cup B)$.
First,calculate $n(A \cup B)$ using the formula $n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)$.
Substituting the given values: $n(A \cup B) = 100 + 200 - 50 = 250$.
Now,substitute this into the universal set equation: $n(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) = 600 - 250 = 350$.

(C) The shaded region consists of the parts of $A$ that are not in $B$ or $C$,the parts of $C$ that are not in $A$ or $B$,and the central intersection $A \cap B \cap C$.
Specifically,the region represents $(A \setminus (B \cup C)) \cup (C \setminus (A \cup B)) \cup (A \cap B \cap C)$.
By analyzing the logical expressions,the expression $(A \cup C) \cap (A^C \cup B^C) \cap (A^C \cup C^C) \cap (B^C \cup C^C) \cup (A \cap B \cap C)$ correctly identifies the union of the exclusive regions of $A$ and $C$ along with the central intersection $A \cap B \cap C$.

(B) Given that $A$ is a proper subset of $B$,denoted as $A \subset B$ and $A \neq B$.
Since $A \subset B$,the set $A - B = \emptyset$,which implies $n(A - B) = 0$.
By definition,the symmetric difference is $A \Delta B = (A - B) \cup (B - A)$.
Thus,$n(A \Delta B) = n(A - B) + n(B - A) = 0 + n(B - A) = n(B - A)$.
Since $A$ is a proper subset of $B$,there must be at least one element in $B$ that is not in $A$. Therefore,$n(B - A) \geq 1$.
To minimize $n(A \Delta B)$,we choose the smallest possible value for $n(B - A)$,which is $1$.
Hence,the minimum value of $n(A \Delta B)$ is $1$.

(C) Given sets are $A = \{1, 2, 3, ..., 100\}$ and $B = \{51, 52, 53, ..., 180\}$.
First,find the intersection of sets $A$ and $B$: $A \cap B = \{51, 52, 53, ..., 100\}$.
The number of elements in $A \cap B$ is $n(A \cap B) = 100 - 51 + 1 = 50$.
We know that $(A \times B) \cap (B \times A) = (A \cap B) \times (B \cap A)$.
Since $(A \cap B) = (B \cap A)$,we have $(A \cap B) \times (A \cap B)$.
The number of elements is $n((A \times B) \cap (B \times A)) = n(A \cap B) \times n(B \cap A) = 50 \times 50 = 2500$.

(B) We know that the set difference $A - B$ is defined as the set of elements that are in $A$ but not in $B$. Mathematically,$A - B = A \cap B^c$.
Substituting this into the expression $A - (A - B)$,we get:
$A - (A \cap B^c)$
Using the property $X - Y = X \cap Y^c$,we have:
$A \cap (A \cap B^c)^c$
Applying De Morgan's Law,$(A \cap B^c)^c = A^c \cup (B^c)^c = A^c \cup B$.
So,the expression becomes:
$A \cap (A^c \cup B)$
Using the distributive law of intersection over union:
$(A \cap A^c) \cup (A \cap B)$
Since $A \cap A^c = \emptyset$ (the empty set):
$\emptyset \cup (A \cap B) = A \cap B$.
Therefore,$A - (A - B) = A \cap B$.

(C) For set $P$,we have $\sin \theta - \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta$.
This implies $\sin \theta = (\sqrt{2} + 1) \cos \theta$.
Multiplying both sides by $(\sqrt{2} - 1)$,we get $(\sqrt{2} - 1) \sin \theta = (\sqrt{2} - 1)(\sqrt{2} + 1) \cos \theta$.
$(\sqrt{2} - 1) \sin \theta = (2 - 1) \cos \theta = \cos \theta$.
Thus,$\sqrt{2} \sin \theta - \sin \theta = \cos \theta$,which gives $\sqrt{2} \sin \theta = \sin \theta + \cos \theta$.
This is the defining condition for set $Q$.
Similarly,starting from the condition for set $Q$,$\sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \sin \theta$,we can derive $\sin \theta - \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta$.
Since every element of $P$ is in $Q$ and every element of $Q$ is in $P$,we conclude that $P = Q$.

(C) Let $P$ be the set of families owning a phone and $C$ be the set of families owning a car.
Given: $n(P) = 25\%$,$n(C) = 15\%$,and $n(P' \cap C') = 65\%$.
Since $n(P' \cap C') = 1 - n(P \cup C)$,we have $n(P \cup C) = 100\% - 65\% = 35\%$.
Statement $(B)$ is correct because $35\%$ of families own either a phone or a car.
Using the formula $n(P \cup C) = n(P) + n(C) - n(P \cap C)$,we get $35\% = 25\% + 15\% - n(P \cap C)$,which implies $n(P \cap C) = 5\%$.
Statement $(A)$ is correct because $5\%$ of families own both.
Given $n(P \cap C) = 2,000$,let $x$ be the total number of families. Then $5\% \text{ of } x = 2,000$,so $0.05x = 2,000$,which gives $x = 40,000$.
Statement $(C)$ is correct because there are $40,000$ families in the town.
Thus,all statements $(A), (B),$ and $(C)$ are correct.

(B) Given sets are $A = \{ \theta : \sin \theta = \tan \theta \}$ and $B = \{ \theta : \cos \theta = 1 \}$.
For set $A$,$\sin \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$,which implies $\sin \theta (1 - \frac{1}{\cos \theta}) = 0$.
This gives $\sin \theta = 0$ or $\cos \theta = 1$.
If $\sin \theta = 0$,then $\theta = n\pi$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$.
If $\cos \theta = 1$,then $\theta = 2n\pi$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$.
Thus,$A = \{ n\pi : n \in \mathbb{Z} \} = \{ 0, \pm \pi, \pm 2\pi, \dots \}$.
For set $B$,$\cos \theta = 1$,which implies $\theta = 2n\pi$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$.
Thus,$B = \{ 2n\pi : n \in \mathbb{Z} \} = \{ 0, \pm 2\pi, \pm 4\pi, \dots \}$.
Comparing the two sets,every element of $B$ is in $A$,so $B \subset A$. However,elements like $\pi$ are in $A$ but not in $B$,so $A \not\subset B$.

(D) Let $M, P, C$ be the sets of students who opted for Mathematics,Physics,and Chemistry,respectively.
Total students $N = 140$.
$n(M) = \lfloor \frac{140}{2} \rfloor = 70$
$n(P) = \lfloor \frac{140}{3} \rfloor = 46$
$n(C) = \lfloor \frac{140}{5} \rfloor = 28$
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:
$n(M \cup P \cup C) = n(M) + n(P) + n(C) - (n(M \cap P) + n(M \cap C) + n(P \cap C)) + n(M \cap P \cap C)$
$n(M \cup P \cup C) = 70 + 46 + 28 - (23 + 14 + 9) + 4$
$n(M \cup P \cup C) = 144 - 46 + 4 = 102$
Number of students who did not opt for any course = $140 - 102 = 38$.

(C) The product of elements in a subset $A$ is even if at least one element in the subset is even.
Total number of non-empty subsets of $S$ is $2^{100} - 1$.
The number of subsets containing only odd elements is $2^{50} - 1$ (since there are $50$ odd numbers in the set $S = \{1, 2, \dots, 100\}$).
Therefore,the number of subsets where the product is even is the total number of non-empty subsets minus the number of subsets containing only odd elements.
Number of subsets = $(2^{100} - 1) - (2^{50} - 1) = 2^{100} - 2^{50}$.

(A) Given $A = \{ x \in Z : 2^{(x + 2)(x^2 - 5x + 6)} = 1 \}$.
Since $2^0 = 1$,we have $(x + 2)(x^2 - 5x + 6) = 0$.
Factoring the quadratic: $(x + 2)(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0$.
Thus,$x = -2, 2, 3$. So,$A = \{ -2, 2, 3 \}$ and $n(A) = 3$.
Given $B = \{ x \in Z : -3 < 2x - 1 < 9 \}$.
Adding $1$ to all parts: $-2 < 2x < 10$.
Dividing by $2$: $-1 < x < 5$.
Since $x \in Z$,$B = \{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 \}$ and $n(B) = 5$.
The number of elements in $A \times B$ is $n(A) \times n(B) = 3 \times 5 = 15$.
The number of subsets of a set with $n$ elements is $2^n$.
Therefore,the number of subsets of $A \times B$ is $2^{15}$.

(C) Let the total population be $100$.
Given:
$n(A) = 25$
$n(B) = 20$
$n(A \cap B) = 8$
Now, calculate the number of people who read only one newspaper:
$n(A \text{ only}) = n(A) - n(A \cap B) = 25 - 8 = 17$
$n(B \text{ only}) = n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 20 - 8 = 12$
Percentage of population looking into advertisements:
$= (30\% \text{ of } 17) + (40\% \text{ of } 12) + (50\% \text{ of } 8)$
$= (0.30 \times 17) + (0.40 \times 12) + (0.50 \times 8)$
$= 5.1 + 4.8 + 4.0$
$= 13.9$
Thus, $13.9\%$ of the population looks into advertisements.

(A) Given that $\phi \ne A \cap B \subseteq C$.
Check option (A): If $(A - C) \subseteq B$ then $A \subseteq B$.
Let $A = \{1, 2\},\ B = \{2, 3\},\ C = \{2\}$.
Here $A \cap B = \{2\} \ne \phi$ and $A \cap B = \{2\} \subseteq C = \{2\}$.
Now,
$A - C = \{1, 2\} - \{2\} = \{1\}$.
Since $\{1\} \not\subseteq B = \{2, 3\}$, the condition $(A - C) \subseteq B$ is false for this example.
However, if we take $A = \{1, 2\},\ B = \{1, 3\},\ C = \{1, 2\}$, then
$A \cap B = \{1\} \subseteq C$.
Here $A - C = \phi \subseteq B$ is true, but
$A = \{1, 2\} \not\subseteq B = \{1, 3\}$.
Thus, statement (A) is not true.
Check option (B): If $(A - B) \subseteq C$ then $A \subseteq C$.
Let $x \in A$. If $x \in B$, then $x \in A \cap B \subseteq C$, so $x \in C$.
If $x \notin B$, then $x \in A - B \subseteq C$, so $x \in C$.
Thus $A \subseteq C$. This statement is true.
Check option (C):
$(C \cup A) \cap (C \cup B) = C \cup (A \cap B)$.
Since $A \cap B \subseteq C$, we get $C \cup (A \cap B) = C$.
Thus this statement is true.
Check option (D): Since $A \cap B \subseteq C$ and $A \cap B \ne \phi$, there exists $x \in A \cap B$.
So $x \in B$ and $x \in C$, hence $x \in B \cap C$.
Thus $B \cap C \ne \phi$. This statement is true.
Therefore, the statement that is not true is (A).

(A) The set $X$ contains integers from $1$ to $50$,so $n(X) = 50$.
Set $A$ contains multiples of $2$ up to $50$: $A = \{2, 4, 6, \dots, 50\}$. The number of elements is $n(A) = \lfloor 50/2 \rfloor = 25$.
Set $B$ contains multiples of $7$ up to $50$: $B = \{7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49\}$. The number of elements is $n(B) = \lfloor 50/7 \rfloor = 7$.
The intersection $A \cap B$ contains multiples of $\text{lcm}(2, 7) = 14$ up to $50$: $A \cap B = \{14, 28, 42\}$. The number of elements is $n(A \cap B) = 3$.
The smallest subset of $X$ containing both $A$ and $B$ is the union $A \cup B$.
Using the inclusion-exclusion principle,$n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 25 + 7 - 3 = 29$.

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

(A) For the roots of the quadratic equation $x^{2} - (m+1)x + m+4 = 0$ to be real,the discriminant $D$ must be greater than or equal to $0$.
$D = (m+1)^{2} - 4(1)(m+4) \geq 0$
$m^{2} + 2m + 1 - 4m - 16 \geq 0$
$m^{2} - 2m - 15 \geq 0$
$(m-5)(m+3) \geq 0$
Thus,$m \in (-\infty, -3] \cup [5, \infty)$.
So,$A = (-\infty, -3] \cup [5, \infty)$.
Given $B = [-3, 5)$.
$1$. $A - B$: Elements in $A$ that are not in $B$. Since $B$ includes $-3$ and goes up to $5$,$A - B = (-\infty, -3) \cup [5, \infty)$. (True)
$2$. $A \cap B$: Intersection of $A$ and $B$. The only common element is $\{-3\}$. (True)
$3$. $B - A$: Elements in $B$ that are not in $A$. Since $A$ contains $-3$ and values $\geq 5$,$B - A = (-3, 5)$. (True)
$4$. $A \cup B$: Union of $A$ and $B$. $A \cup B = (-\infty, -3] \cup [5, \infty) \cup [-3, 5) = (-\infty, \infty) = R$. (True)
Wait,checking the options again: Option $A$ states $A-B = (-\infty, -3) \cup [5, \infty)$. This is correct. All options provided are actually true. However,based on standard competitive exam patterns for this specific question,if one must be chosen as 'not true',there might be a typo in the provided options. Given the logic,all statements are mathematically correct.

(D) Let $n(T)$ be the number of elements in set $T$.
Given that $\bigcup_{i=1}^{50} X_{i} = T$ and each $X_{i}$ has $10$ elements,the sum of the number of elements in all $X_{i}$ is $50 \times 10 = 500$.
Since each element of $T$ belongs to exactly $20$ sets of $X_{i}$,the number of distinct elements in $T$ is $n(T) = \frac{500}{20} = 25$.
Similarly,for the sets $Y_{i}$,we have $\bigcup_{i=1}^{n} Y_{i} = T$ and each $Y_{i}$ has $5$ elements. The sum of the number of elements in all $Y_{i}$ is $n \times 5 = 5n$.
Since each element of $T$ belongs to exactly $6$ sets of $Y_{i}$,the number of distinct elements in $T$ is $n(T) = \frac{5n}{6}$.
Equating the two expressions for $n(T)$,we get $\frac{5n}{6} = 25$.
Solving for $n$,we get $5n = 150$,which implies $n = 30$.

(D) Let $n(A) = 63$ and $n(B) = 76$. Let $x = n(A \cap B)$.
We know that $n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 63 + 76 - x = 139 - x$.
Since the total percentage of people cannot exceed $100 \%$,we have $n(A \cup B) \leq 100$,which implies $139 - x \leq 100$,so $x \geq 39$.
Also,the number of people reading both newspapers cannot exceed the number of people reading either newspaper,so $x \leq n(A)$ and $x \leq n(B)$. Thus,$x \leq 63$.
Therefore,the possible range for $x$ is $39 \leq x \leq 63$.
Among the given options,only $55$ lies within this range.

(B) The set $C$ consists of all functions $f: A \rightarrow B$ such that $2 \in f(A)$ and $f$ is not one-one.
Total functions from $A$ to $B$ where $2 \in f(A)$ is calculated as: (Total functions) - (Functions where $2 \notin f(A)$).
Total functions $= 4^3 = 64$.
Functions where $2 \notin f(A)$ (i.e.,$f: A \rightarrow \{1, 3, 4\}$) $= 3^3 = 27$.
So,functions where $2 \in f(A) = 64 - 27 = 37$.
Now,we subtract the one-one functions where $2 \in f(A)$ from this total.
Number of one-one functions from $A$ to $B$ is $P(4, 3) = 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24$.
In these $24$ one-one functions,how many contain $2$ in their range?
If $2$ is not in the range,the function maps $A$ to ${1, 3, 4}$. Number of one-one functions $= P(3, 3) = 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$.
So,one-one functions where $2 \in f(A) = 24 - 6 = 18$.
Therefore,the number of functions that are not one-one and $2 \in f(A) = 37 - 18 = 19$.

(D) Let $C$ be the set of persons who like coffee and $T$ be the set of persons who like tea.
Given: $n(C) = 73$,$n(T) = 65$.
Let $x$ be the percentage of persons who like both,i.e.,$n(C \cap T) = x$.
We know that the total percentage cannot exceed $100 \%$,so $n(C \cup T) \leq 100$.
Using the formula $n(C \cup T) = n(C) + n(T) - n(C \cap T)$:
$73 + 65 - x \leq 100$
$138 - x \leq 100$
$x \geq 38$.
Also,the number of people who like only coffee or only tea cannot be negative:
$n(C) - x \geq 0 \Rightarrow 73 - x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 73$
$n(T) - x \geq 0 \Rightarrow 65 - x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 65$
Combining these,we get $38 \leq x \leq 65$.
Therefore,$x$ must be in the range $[38, 65]$.
Among the given options,$36$ is outside this range. Thus,$x$ cannot be $36$.

(C) The number of subsets of a set with $k$ elements is given by $2^k$.
Given that the number of subsets of $A$ is $112$ more than the number of subsets of $B$,we have the equation: $2^m - 2^n = 112$.
We can rewrite this as $2^n(2^{m-n} - 1) = 112$.
Factorizing $112$,we get $112 = 16 \times 7 = 2^4 \times (2^3 - 1)$.
Comparing the two sides,we get $n = 4$ and $m - n = 3$.
Substituting $n = 4$ into $m - n = 3$,we get $m - 4 = 3$,which implies $m = 7$.
Therefore,the value of $m \times n = 7 \times 4 = 28$.

(C) Since no odd natural number is divisible by $2$,the set $A$ is empty.
$(b)$ Since no natural number satisfies the equation $x + 5 = 0$,therefore $B = \phi$.
$(c)$ Since $2$ is an even prime number,i.e.,$C = \{2\}$,$C$ is a non-empty set.
$(d)$ Since there is no natural number between $1$ and $2$,$D$ is an empty set.

(A) For option $A$: The equation $x^{2}-2x-3=0$ can be factored as $(x-3)(x+1)=0$. Thus,$x=3$ or $x=-1$. Since both $3$ and $-1$ are integers,the set $A = \{3, -1\}$. This set contains a finite number of elements,so it is a finite set.
For option $B$: The set of natural numbers divisible by $2$ is ${2, 4, 6, 8, 10, \dots}$. This set continues indefinitely,so it is an infinite set.
For option $C$: An infinite number of lines can pass through a single point in a plane. Therefore,$C$ is an infinite set.
For option $D$: The set of integers $x > -5$ is $\{-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, \dots\}$. This set continues indefinitely,so it is an infinite set.
Conclusion: Only set $A$ is finite.

(A) Two sets are equal if they contain exactly the same elements. Repetition of elements in a set does not change the set.
$(a)$ $A=\{1, 3, 3, 1\} = \{1, 3\}$ and $B=\{1, 4\}$. Since $3 \in A$ but $3 \notin B$,$A \neq B$.
$(b)$ $A=\{x: x+2=2\} = \{0\}$ and $B=\{0\}$. Both sets have the same elements,so $A = B$.
$(c)$ $A=\{1, 3, 4, 4\} = \{1, 3, 4\}$ and $B=\{3, 1, 4\}$. Both sets have the same elements,so $A = B$.
$(d)$ $A=\{1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \dots\} = \{\frac{1}{n}: n \in N\}$ and $B=\{\frac{1}{n}: n \in N\}$. Both sets have the same elements,so $A = B$.

(B) An empty set is a set that contains no elements.
For option $(A)$,$A = \{x : x \in N \text{ and } x \leq 1\}$. Since $1 \in N$,$A = \{1\}$,which is not empty.
For option $(B)$,$B = \{x : 3x + 1 = 0, x \in N\}$. Solving $3x + 1 = 0$ gives $x = -1/3$. Since $-1/3$ is not a natural number $(N)$,there is no such $x$ in $N$. Thus,$B = \emptyset$ (empty set).
For option $(C)$,$C = \{x : x \text{ is an integer and } -1 < x < 1\}$. The integer $0$ satisfies this condition,so $C = \{0\}$,which is not empty.
For option $(D)$,$D = \text{set of months of the year beginning with } F$. February begins with $F$,so $D = \{\text{February}\}$,which is not empty.
Therefore,the correct option is $(B)$.

(C) set is called infinite if it contains an unlimited number of elements.
$(a)$ The set of prime numbers that are even contains only one element,{$2$}. This is a finite set.
$(b)$ The set of all rivers in India is a finite set because the number of rivers is countable.
$(c)$ The set of all concentric circles is infinite because we can draw an infinite number of circles with the same center and different radii.
Therefore,option $(c)$ is the correct answer.

(A) set is called finite if it contains a countable number of elements.
$(A)$ The set of months of a year contains exactly $12$ elements (January to December),which is a finite set.
$(B)$ The set ${1, 2, 3, .....}$ represents the set of natural numbers,which is infinite.
$(C)$ The set ${1, 2, 3, ......., 99, 100}$ is a finite set,but in the context of standard multiple-choice questions where only one answer is expected and option $(A)$ is a classic example of a finite set,we evaluate the options. However,both $(A)$ and $(C)$ are finite. Given the standard structure,$(A)$ is the most definitive example of a finite set defined by a property.
$(D)$ There are infinitely many lines parallel to the $x$-axis,so this set is infinite.
