Venn Diagram If X and Y are two sets such that X u Y has 18 elements, X has 8 elements, and Y has 15 elements, how many element does X n Y have?

Venn Diagram Solution: We are given n (X uY) = 18, n (X) = 8, n (Y) =15. using the formula. n( X n Y) = n (X) + n (Y) - n ( X u Y) n( X n Y) = 8 + 15 – 18 n( X n Y) = 5

Venn Diagram If S and T are two sets such that S has 21elemnets, T has 32 elements, and S n T has 11 elements, how many element elements does S u T have?

Venn Diagram Answer: n (s) = 21, n (T) = 32, n ( S n T) = 11, n (S u T) = ? n (S u T) = n (S) + n( T) – n (S n T) = 21 + 32 – 11 = 42

Venn Diagram If A and B are two sets such that A has 40 elements, A u B has 60 elements and A n B has 10 elements, how many element elements does B have?

Venn Diagram Answer: n ( A) = 40, n ( n B) = 60 and n ( A n B) = 10, n ( A u B) = n ( A) + n (B) – n ( A n B) 60 = 40 + n (B) – 10 n (B) = 30

Venn Diagram In a group of 1000 people, there are 750 people who can speak Hindi and 400 who can speak English. How many can Speak Hindi only?

Answer: n( H u E) = 1000, n (H) = 750, n (E) = 400, n( H u E) = n (H) + n (E) – n( H n E) 1000 = 750 +400 – n ( H n E) n ( H n E) = 1150 – 100 = 150 No. of people can speak Hindi only _ = n ( H n E) = n ( H) – n( H n E) = 750 – 150 = 600

Venn Diagram In a class of 100 students, the number of students passed in English only is 46, in maths only is 46, in commerce only is 58. the number who passes in English and Maths is 16, Maths and commerce is 24 and English and commerce is 26, and the number who passed in all the subject is 7. find the number of the students who failed in all the subjects.

Venn Diagram Solution: No. of students who passed in one or more subjects = 11+ 9 + 13 + 17 + 15 + 19 + 7 = 91 No of students who failed in all the subjects = 100 -91 = 9
