Therefore, A (B – A) = A B
9. Using properties of sets, show that:
(i) A (A B) = A
(ii) A (A B) = A
Ans. (i) If A B, then A B = B
Also A B A
A (A B) = A
(ii) If A B, then A B = A
Also A A B
A (A B) = A
10. Show that A B = A C need not imply B = C.
Ans. Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and C = {2, 3, 4, 9, 10}
A B = {2, 3, 4}
And A C = {2, 3, 4}
Therefore, we have A B = A C
But B C
11. Let A and B sets. If A X = B X = and A X = B X for some set X. Show that A = B.
[Hint: A = A (A X), B = B (B X) and use Distributive law]
Ans. Given: A X = B X for some set X.
A (A X) = A (B X)
A = (A B) (A X)
A = (A B)
A = (A B)
A B……….(i)
Also A X = B X
B (A X) = B (B X)
(B A) (B X) = B
(B A) = B
B A = BB A ……….(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii), we have A = B
12. Find sets A, B and C such that A B, B C and A C are non-empty sets and A B C =
Ans. Let A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 4} and C = {2, 4}
A B = {1} B C = {4}
And A C = {2}
But A B C =
13. In a survey of 600 students in a school, 150 students were found to be taking tea and 225 taking coffee, 100 were taking both tea and coffee. Find how many students were taking neither tea nor coffee.
Ans. Let T be the set of students who like tea and C be the set of students who like coffee.
and
Number of students taking either tea or coffee = 275
Number of students taking neither tea nor coffee = 600 – 275 = 325
14. In a group of students, 100 students know Hindi, 50 know English and 25 know both. Each of the students knows either Hindi or English. How many students are there in the group?
Ans. Let H be the set of students who know Hindi and E be the set of students who know English.
and
15. In a survey of 60 people, it was found that 25 people read newspaper H, 26 read newspaper T, 26 read newspaper I, 9 read both H and I, 11 read both H and T, 8 read both T and I, 3 real all three newspapers. Find:
(i) the number of people who read at least one of the newspaper.
(ii) the number of people who read exactly one newspaper.
