Solution
Section A

  1. (b) 300
    Explanation:
    Given n(A) = 200, n(B) =\ 300, n(AB)=100 

    n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)= 200 + 300 - 100 = 400

    n(AB)=n(AB)+n(U)n(AB)= 700 - 400 = 300
    [By De morgans law]

  2. (a) { 4 }
    Explanation: Given A=1,2,3,4  and B=4,5,6,7
    (AB)={4}
  3. (c) 6
    Explanation:AB

     n(AB)=n(B)=6

  4. (b) 7
    Explanation: The no of proper subsets=2n-1=23-1=7
    Here n=no of elements of given set=3
  5. (d) 60
    Explanation:
    M -mathematics
    P - physics
    C - chemistry
    Venn Diagram


    By Venn Diagram we can see that the students who offered mathematics alone are 60.

  6. {1, 2, 9, 11}

  7. singleton set

  8. A month has either 28, 29, 30 or 31 days.
    Out of the 12 months in a year, the months that have 31 days are:
    January, March, May, July, August, October, December
     Given set has elements {February, April, June, September, November}

  9. Let A = {a, e, i, o, u} and B ={a, b, c, d}
    Now AB={a,e,i,o,u}{a,b,c,d}= {a}
    Hence A and B are not disjoint. So the statement is false.

  10.  D=UD={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h}{f,g,h,a}={b, c, d, e}

  11. A = {1,2,4,5}, B = {2,3,5,6}, C = {4,5,6,7}
    BC= {2,3,4,5,6,7}
    A(BC)= {1} .....(i)
    (A - B) = { 1, 4}
    (A - C) = {1, 2}
    (AB)(AC)= {1} .......(ii)
    From eqn (i) and eqn (ii), we get
    A(BC)=(AB)(AC)

  12. The symbol '' stands for if and only if (in short if).
    In order to show that two sets A and B are equal, we show that AB and BA.
    We have Aϕ,ϕis a subset of every set,
    ϕA
    Hence A = ϕ
    To show the backward implication, suppose that A=ϕ.
     every set is a subset of itself
    ϕ=Aϕ
    Hence, proved.

  13. Here
    n(U) = a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h = 60 ....... (i)
    n (H) = a + b + c +d = 25 ....... (ii)
    n(T) = b + c + f + g = 26 ........ (iii)
    n(I) = c + d + e + f = 26 ....... (iv)
    n(HI)=c+d=9....... (v)
    n(HT)=b+c=11....... (vi)
    n(TI)=c+f=8....... (vii)
    n(HTI)=c=3....... (viii)

    Putting value of c in (vii),
    3+ f = 8  f = 5
    Putting value of c in (vi),
    3 +b = 11  b = 8
    Putting values of c in (v),
    3 + d = 9  d = 6
    Putting value of c, d, f in (iv),
    3 + 6 + e + 5 = 26 e = 26 - 14 = 12
    Putting value of b, c, f in (iii),
    8 + 3 + 5 + g = 26  g = 26 - 16 = 10
    Putting value of b, c, d in (ii)
    a + 8 + 3 + 6 = 25  a = 25 - 17 = 8
    Number of people who read at least one of the three newspapers
    = a + b + c + d +e + f + g
    = 8 + 8 + 3 + 6 + 12 + 5 + 10 = 52

  14. Let xP(AB)
    x(AB)
    xA and xB
    xP(A) and xP(B)
    xP(A)P(B)
    xP(A)P(B)
    P(AB)P(A)P(B). . . (i)
    Let xP(A)P(B)
    xP(A) and xP(B)
    xA and xB
    xAB
    xP(AB)
    P(A)P(B)P(AB). . . . (ii)
    From (i) and (ii), we have
    P(AB)=P(A)P(B)

  15. According to the question, we are given that,
    U = {a, b, c, d, e, f} , A = {a, b,c}, B = {c, d, e, f} , C = {c, d, e} and D = {d, e, f}

    1.  D = {a, b,c}  {d, e, f} = ϕ
    2.  C = {a, b, c}  {c, d, e} = {c}
    3.  D = {a, b, c, d, e, f}  {d, e, f} = {d, e, f}
    4. Aϕ= {a, b, c}  {} = {a,b,c}
    5. ϕ = {a, b, c, d, e, f}  {} = ϕ
      (Uϕ)'
      ϕ
      = U 
    6.  A = {a, b, c, d, e, f}  {a, ,b, c}
      = {a, b, c, d, e, f}
      = U
       (U  A)' =
