x = 4/3 × 1 = 4/3, 4/3 × 2 = 4/6, 4/3 × 3 = 4/9

= 4/3 × 4 = 4/12, 4/3 × 5 = 4/15, 4/3 × 6 = 4/18, 4/3 × 7 = 4/21

= 4/3 × 8 = 4/24, 4/3 × 9 = 4/27

It is an empty set as there is no natural number whose square is negative

(e) {x : x ∈ W and 5 ≤ x ≤ 7}

= {5, 6, 7}

It is a non empty set because it a clement 5, 6, 7.

(f) {Vowels in the word GYM}

There is no vowel in the word GYM So, It is an empty set.

Question no – (4)

Solution :

(a) True

(b) False

Question no – (5)

Solution :

(a) A = {x : x ≤ 5 and x ∈ W}

B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

n(A) = 5

n(B) = 5

n(A) = n(B)

Therefore A is equivalent to B (A ⇿ B)

(b) A = {x : x is a letter of the word BHOPAL}

= {B, H, O, P, A, L,}

B = {6, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4}

n(A) = 6

n(B) = 6

n(A) = n(B) = 6

Therefore A is Equivalent to B (A ⇿ B)

(c) A = {x : = 3x, n ∈, w, 0 ≤ n ≤ 3}

= {(3 × 0), (3 × 1), (3 × 2), (3 × 3)}

= {0, 3, 6, 9}

B = {monthly having 31 days}

= {January, March may, July, August, October, December}

n(A) = 4,

n(B) = 7

n(A) ≠ n(B)

Therefore the set A and B is not equivalent set.

(d) A {x : x = 2x + 1, n ∈ N, n < 5}

= {(2 × 1 + 1), (2 × 2 + 1), (2 × 3 + 1), (2 × 4 + 1)}

= {3, 5, 7, 9}

B = {3, 5, 7, 9}

n(A) = 4

n(B) = 4

n(A) = n(B) = 4

Therefore the set A and B is not equivalent set.

Question no – (6) 

Solution :

(a) A = {x | 2x2 + 8 = 0, x ∈ N}

There is not only one element in this set

So, It is not a singleton set

(b) B = {Vowels in word CUP}

B = {U}

there is only one element in this set.

So, this is a singleton set.

(c) C = {x | x ∈ N and 3 < x < 5}

= {4}

There is only one element in this set.

So, this is a singleton set.

(d) D = {factors of 37}

= {1, 37}

there is two elements in this set.

So, this is not singleton set.

Question no – (7)

Solution :

(a) A = {Prime numbers lying between 10 and 20}

= {11, 143, 17, 19}

B = {odd prime numbers}

= {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 … }

Set and set B have four common elements

Thus are 11, 13, 17, 19,

Hence set A and B are overlapping set.

(b) A = {common factors of 36 and 45}

= {1, 3, 9}

B = [Multiples of 7}

= {7, 14, 21, 28, …}

Set A and set B have no element in common

Hence A and B are disjoint.

(c) A {First five consecutive natural numbers}

= {1, 2, 3, 4,5}

B = {Integers lying between 3/5 and 7}

Set A and set B five common elements.

Hence, they are overlapping sets.

= U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k}

A = {a, c, d, e, f}

B = [e, f, b, g, h}

(a) A B

= {a, c, d, e, f} ∪ {e, f, b, g, h}

= {a, c, d, e, b, g, h}

(b) A ∩ B

= {a, c, d, e, f} ∩ {e, f, b, g, h}

= {e, f}

(c) A – B

= {a, c, d, e, f} – {e, f, b, g, h}

= [a, c, d}

= (A ∪ B)1 = [I, J, K}

Question no – (3)

Solution :

Here, Let, U = {students]

A = {students who read newspaper A}

B = {students who read newspaper B}

C = {Students who read newspaper A and B}

Venn diagram,

(a) Number of students who read only newspaper A = 30 – 5

= 25

(b) Number of students who read only newspaper B = 20 – 5

= 15

(c) Number of students who read none of the newspapers = (30 + 20 + 5) – 50

= 55 – 50

= 5

Question no – (4) 

Solution :

Here,

Let, U = {students}

A = {students who like black}

B = {students who like white}

Let, x be the number of students who like both black and white

So, the number of students who like only black 24 – x

Number of students who like only white = 18 – x

n (∪)= number of students who like only black + number of student who like only white + number of students who like both + number of students who like neither black nor white

= 24 – x + 18 – x + x + 5 = 40

= 47 – x = 40

= x = 7

Seven students like both black and white.

Question no – (5) 

Solution :

Let, the amount of pocket money of Meena {U} = x

Spends amount of students of stationery = x/4 = {A}

Spends amount of canteen = x/3 = {B}

A/Q,

x – (x/4 + x/3) = 40

= x – (3x + 4x/12) = 40

= x – 7x/12 = 40

= 12x – 7x/12 = 40

= 5x = 40 × 12

= x = 40 × 12/5

= 96

Amount of pocket money = 96

Question no – (6)

Solution :

Given,

U = {x : x ∈ N, x ≤ 30}

= A {a : a ∈ U and a is even}

B = {b : b ∈ U and b is a multiple of 4}

Now,

A {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30}

B = [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28}

(a) A B

= From the Venn diagram A ∪ B

= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30}

(b) A ∩ B

= From the Venn diagram

= {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28}

(c) A – B

= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30}

= – {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28}

= {2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30}

(d) B – A

= {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28} – {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30}

= Փ

(f) n(A)

= n {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30}

= 13

(g) n(B)

= n {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28}

= 7

Now,

n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)

n(A ∪ B) = 7

n = (A ∪ B) = 14

R.H.S = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)

= 14 + 7 – 7

= 14 = L.H.S (Proved)

Question no – (7) 

Solution :

Let, U = {Students}

A = {Students passed in Hindi}

B = {Students passed in maths}

Let, x be the students passed in both the subject.

Venn diagram

Number of students who passed only Hindi

= 90 – x

Number of students who passed only maths = 80 – x

n (∪) = number of students who passed only Hindi + number of students who passed only maths + number of students who passed both + number of students who passed neither Hindi nor math.

= 90 – x + 80 – x + x + 6 = 100

= 176 – x = 100

= x = 76

Therefore, 76% students passed in both the subject.
