1. Which set theoretical symbol represents the statement 'element x belongs to both set P and set Q'?

  1. A. x ∈ (P ∪ Q)
  2. B. x ∈ (P ∩ Q)
  3. C. x ∈ (P ∩ Q)'
  4. D. x ∈ (P' ∪ Q')
Show answer

Answer: B

The intersection symbol ∩ means 'AND', indicating that x belongs to both set P and set Q simultaneously.

2. In a class of 40 students, 25 play football, 20 play badminton, and 8 play both games. How many students do NOT play either game?

  1. A. 3
  2. B. 5
  3. C. 7
  4. D. 12
Show answer

Answer: A

Total playing at least one game n(F ∪ B) = 25 + 20 - 8 = 37. Students playing neither = 40 - 37 = 3.

3. Given set A = {2, 3, 5, 7} and set B = {1, 3, 5, 9}. Find A ∩ B.

  1. A. {3, 5}
  2. B. {1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9}
  3. C. {2, 7}
  4. D. {1, 9}
Show answer

Answer: A

The intersection A ∩ B consists of elements that are common to both set A and set B. The common elements are 3 and 5.

4. Given set X = {multiples of 3 less than 15} and set Y = {multiples of 5 less than 15}. Find X ∪ Y.

  1. A. {3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12}
  2. B. {3, 6, 9, 12}
  3. C. {5, 10}
  4. D. {15}
Show answer

Answer: A

Set X = {3, 6, 9, 12} and Set Y = {5, 10}. The union X ∪ Y combining all elements is {3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12}.

5. Given A ⊂ B (A is a subset of B). What is A ∪ B?

  1. A. A
  2. B. B
  3. C. ∅
  4. D. ξ
Show answer

Answer: B

Since set A is entirely contained within set B, combining all elements of A and B yields set B.

6. If n(A) = 15, n(B) = 20, and n(A ∩ B) = 5, find n(A ∪ B).

  1. A. 40
  2. B. 35
  3. C. 30
  4. D. 25
Show answer

Answer: C

Using the formula n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B), we get 15 + 20 - 5 = 30.

7. In a survey of 30 pupils, 18 like Mathematics (M) and 15 like Science (S). If 5 like neither, how many like BOTH Mathematics and Science?

  1. A. 8
  2. B. 10
  3. C. 12
  4. D. 3
Show answer

Answer: A

n(M ∪ S) = 30 - 5 = 25 pupils. n(M ∩ S) = n(M) + n(S) - n(M ∪ S) = 18 + 15 - 25 = 8 pupils.

8. Given universal set ξ = {x : x is an integer, 1 ≤ x ≤ 10}, set A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}, and set B = {3, 6, 9}. Find (A ∩ B)'.

  1. A. {6}
  2. B. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10}
  3. C. {2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10}
  4. D. {1, 5, 7}
Show answer

Answer: B

A ∩ B = {6}. Therefore, (A ∩ B)' includes all elements in ξ except 6, which is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

9. Given ξ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, P = {1, 3, 5}, Q = {2, 3, 4}. Find (P ∪ Q)'.

  1. A. {3}
  2. B. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
  3. C. {6, 7}
  4. D. {1, 5, 6, 7}
Show answer

Answer: C

P ∪ Q = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. The complement (P ∪ Q)' consists of remaining elements in ξ, which are {6, 7}.

10. Given sets A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 3, 4}, and C = {3, 4, 5}. Find (A ∩ B) ∪ C.

  1. A. {2, 3, 4, 5}
  2. B. {3}
  3. C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
  4. D. {2, 3}
Show answer

Answer: A

First, evaluate the brackets: A ∩ B = {2, 3}. Next, take the union with set C: {2, 3} ∪ {3, 4, 5} = {2, 3, 4, 5}.
