P = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 5}
Q = {3, 5, 7}
∴ P ∪ Q = {0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7} (c)

Question 5.
If A and B are two sets, then A – B is defined as
(a) {x |x ϵ A or x ϵ B}
(b) {x | x ϵ A and x ϵ B}
(c) {x | x ϵ A and x ∉ B}
(d) {x | x ϵ B and x ∉ A}
Solution:
A and B are two sets

A ∪ ϕ = A
Where A is any set. (a)

Question 7.
A ∩ ξ is same as
(a) A
(b) ϕ
(c) A’
(d) ξ
Solution:
A ∩ ξ = A (a)

Question 8.
If ξ = W and A = {x | x ϵ W and x ≤ 10}, then A’ is
(a) ϕ
(b) {x | x ϵ W and 0 ≤ x ≤ 10}
(c) {x | x ϵ W and x ≤ 10}
(d) {x | x ϵ W and x ≥ 11}
Solution:
ξ = W, A = {x | x ϵ W and x ≤ 10}
= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
∴ A’ = {x | x ϵ W, and x ≥ 11} (d)

(c) {12}
(d) {0, 12}
Solution:
A = (x | x is a multiple of 3}
= {0, 3, 6, 9, 12}
B = {x | x is a multiple of 4}
= {0, 4, 8, 12}
∴ A ∩ B = {0, 12} (d)

Question 10.
If ξ = (all digits in our number system}, A = {x | x is prime} and B = {x | x is even}, then B – A is
(a) {4, 6, 8}
(b) {0, 4, 6, 8}
(c) {3, 5, 7}
(d) {2}
Solution:
ξ = {all digits in our number system}
= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A = {x | x is prime}
= {2, 3, 5, 7}
B = {x | x is even}
= {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}
B – A = {0, 4, 6, 8} (b)

Question 11.
If A and B are two sets such that n(A) = 22, n(B) = 18 and n(A ∪ B) = 35, then n(A ∩ B)
(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 15
(d) 75
Solution:
n(A) = 22, n(B) = 18
n(A ∪ B) = 35
n( A ∪ B) = n(A) + n( B) – n(A ∩ B)
35 = 22 + 18 – n(A ∩ B)
n(A ∩ B) = 40 – 35 = 5 (b)

Question 12.
In a town of 840 persons, 450 persons read Hindi, 300 read English and 200 read both. Then the number of person who read neither is
(a) 180
(b) 210
(c) 260
(d) 290
Solution:
Total number of person = 840
Person who read Hindi = 450
⇒ n(A) = 450
Person who read English = 300
⇒ n(B) = 300
Person who read both = 200
⇒ n(A ∩ B) = 200
Now, n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
= 450 + 300 – 200
= 750 – 200 = 550
∴ Person who read neither = 840 – 550 = 290 (d)
