MCQ 21 Mark
Two finite sets have $m$ and $n$ elements. The total number of subsets of the first set is $56$ more than the total number of subsets of the second set. The values of $m$ and $n$ are
  • A
    $7, 6$
  • $6, 3$
  • C
    $5, 1$
  • D
    $8, 7$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$6, 3$
b
(b) Since ${2^m} - {2^n} = 56 = 8 \times 7 = {2^3} \times 7$

==> ${2^n}({2^{m - n}} - 1) = {2^3} \times 7$, $\therefore $ $n = 3$ and ${2^{m - n}} = 8 = {2^3}$

==> $m - n = 3$ ==> $m - 3 = 3$ ==> $m = 6$; $\therefore \,\,m = 6,\,\,n = 3$.

If the sets $A$ and $B$ are defined as $A = \{ (x,\,y):y = {1 \over x},\,0 \ne x \in R\} $ $B = \{ (x,y):y =  - x,x \in R\} $, then
  • A
    $A \cap B = A$
  • B
    $A \cap B = B$
  • $A \cap B = \phi $
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$A \cap B = \phi $
c
(c) Since $\,y = {1 \over x},\,y = - x$ meet when $ - x = {1 \over x}$ ==> ${x^2} = - 1$, which does not give any real value of $x.$

Hence, $\,A \cap B = \phi $.

Let $A = \{ (x,\,y):y = {e^x},\,x \in R\} $, $B = \{ (x,\,y):y = {e^{ - x}},\,x \in R\} .$ Then
  • A
    $A \cap B = \phi $
  • $A \cap B \ne \phi $
  • C
    $A \cup B = {R^2}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$A \cap B \ne \phi $
b
(b) $\because y = {e^x},\,\,y = {e^{ - x}}$ will meet, when ${e^x} = {e^{ - x}}$

==> ${e^{2x}} = 1,\,\,\therefore x = 0,y = 1$

$\therefore A$ and $B$ meet on $(0, 1), $

$\therefore A \cap B = \phi $.

    $3100$
  • $3300$
  • C
    $2900$
  • D
    $1400$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3300$
b
(b) $n(A) = 40\% \ of 10,000 = 4,000$

$n(B) = 20\% \ of\ 10,000 = 2,000$

$n(C) = 10\% \  of \ 10,000 = 1,000$

$n (A \cap B)$ $= 5\% \ of\ 10,000 = 500$

$n (B \cap C)$ $= 3\% \ of\ 10,000 = 300$

$n(C \cap  A)$ $= 4\% \ of \ 10,000 = 400$

$n(A \cap B \cap C)$ $= 2\% \ of \ 10,000 = 200$

We want to find $n(A \cap B^c \cap C^c) = n[A \cap (B \cap C)^c]$

$= n(A) -n[A \cap (B \cup C)] = n(A) -n[(A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C)]$

$= n(A) -[n(A \cap B) + n(A \cap C) -n(A \cap B \cap C)]$

$= 4000 -[500 + 400 -200] = 4000 -700 = 3300.$

In a class of $55$ students, the number of students studying different subjects are $23$ in Mathematics, $24$ in Physics, $19$ in Chemistry, $12$ in Mathematics and Physics, $9$ in Mathematics and Chemistry, $7$ in Physics and Chemistry and $4$ in all the three subjects. The total numbers of students who have taken exactly one subject is
  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $7$
  • $22$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$22$
d
(d) $n(M) = 23, n(P) = 24, n(C)= 19$

$n(M  \cap P) = 12, n(M  \cap C)= 9, n(P  \cap C)= 7 ,$

$n(M  \cap P  \cap C) = 4 $

We have to find $n(M  \cap P'  \cap C'), n(P  \cap M '  \cap C' ),n ( C  \cap M'  \cap P') $

$= n(M)-n(M  \cap (P  \cup C))$

$= n(M) - n[(M \cap P) \cup (M \cap C)]$

$= n(M) -n(M  \cap P)-n(M  \cap C) + n(M  \cap P  \cap C)$

$= 23 -12 -9 + 4 = 27 -21 = 6$

$= n(P)-n[P  \cap (M  \cup C)] = $ $n(P) - n[(P \cap M) \cup (P \cap C)]$

$= n(P) -n(P  \cap M) -n(P  \cap C) + n(P  \cap M  \cap C) $

$= 24 -12 -7 + 4 = 9$

$n(C \cap M' \cap P') = n(C) - n(C \cap P) - n(C \cap M) + n(C \cap P \cap M)$

$= 19 -7 -9 + 4 = 23 -16 = 7.$

So total number of student is $=6+9+7=22$

  • $43$
  • B
    $76$
  • C
    $49$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$43$
a
(a) Let $B, H, F$ denote the sets of members who are on the basketball team, hockey team and football team respectively.

Then we are given $n\,(B) = 21,\,n\,(H) = 26,n\,(F) = 29$

$n\,(H \cap B) = 14$, $n\,(H \cap F) = 15$, $n\,(F \cap B) = 12$
and $n\,(B \cap H \cap F) = 8$.

We have to find $n\,(B \cup H \cup F)$.

To find this, we use the formula

$n\,(B \cup H \cup F) = n\,(B) + n\,(H) + n\,(F)$

$ - n\,(B \cap H) - n\,(H \cap F) - n\,(F \cap B) + n\,(B \cap H \cap F)$

Hence,$n\,(B \cup H \cup F) = (21 + 26 + 29) - (14 + 15 + 12) + 8 = 43$

Thus these are $43$ members in all.

  • $16$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $20$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$16$
a
(a) Given $n(N) = 12$, $n(P) = 16$, $n(H) = 18$, $n(N \cup P \cup H) = 30$

From, $n(N \cup P \cup H) = n(N) + n(P) + n(H) - n(N \cap P)$

$ - n(P \cap H) - n(N \cap H) + n(N \cap P \cap H)$

 $\therefore n(N \cap P) + n(P \cap H) + n(N \cap H) = 16$

Now, number of pupils taking two subjects

$ = n(N \cap P) + n(P \cap H) + n(N \cap H) - 3n(N \cap P \cap H)$

$ = 16 - 0 = 16$.

$A_1 \cap A_2 \cap A_3 \ldots \cap A_m=\phi$

$\therefore A_1 \cap A_2 \cup A_3 \ldots \cup A_m=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 100\}$

Let $\left|A_1\right|=1\left|A_2\right|=2 \ldots\left|A_m\right|=M$

$A_1, A_2, A_3 \ldots, A_m$ are disjoint set.

$\therefore\left|A_1\right|+\left|A_2\right| \ldots+\left|A_m\right|=100$

$1+2+3 \ldots+m=100$

$\frac{m(m+1)}{2}=100$

$m^2+m-200=0$

$=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+4 \cdot 1 \cdot 200}}{2 \cdot 1}$

$=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+800}}{2}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{801}}{2}$

$=\frac{-1+28.30}{2}=\frac{27.30}{2}=16.65$

$m=\frac{1+28.30}{2}=\frac{29.30}{2}=14.65$

$\therefore m < 14$

$\therefore$ Maximum possible of $m$ is $13$ . ($14$th set will have same size as that of previous size)

  • A
    $S_n$ has a multiple of $19$
  • B
    $S_n$ has a prime
  • C
    $S_n$ has at least four multiples of $5$
  • $S_n$ has at most six primes
Answer
Correct option: D.
$S_n$ has at most six primes
d
(d)

We have,

$S_n=\{n+1, n+2, n+3, \ldots, n+18\},$

$n \geq 10$

(a) $n=19$, then $S_n$ has not a multiple of 19 .

Hence, option (a) is false.

(b) $S_n$ has more than one prime for $n \geq 10$.

(c) $n=10$

11,28

Only $15,20,25$ are multiple of $5 .$

(d) Number of odd integer in $S_n=9$

So, every third integer is multiple of $3$.

$\therefore S_n$ has at most six primes.

$ |2 \mathrm{a}-1|=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a}$

Case $-1$ : $\mathrm{a}>\frac{1}{2} $

$ 2 \mathrm{a}-1=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a} $

$B^{\prime}$ is a set containing sub sets of $A$ containing element $1$ and not containing $2$ .

And $C^{\prime}$ is a set containing subsets of $A$ whose sum of elements is not prime.

So, we need to calculate number of subsets of $\{3,4,5,6,7\}$ whose sum of elements plus $1$ is composite.

Number of such $54\,elements\,subset\,=1$

Number of such $4$ elements subset $=3$ (except selecting $3$ or $7$ )

Number of such $3$ elements subset $=6$ (except selecting $\{3,4,5\},\{3,6,7\},\{4,5,7\}$ or $\{5,6,7\}$ )

Number of such $2$ elements subset $=7$ (except selecting $\{3,7\},\{4,6\},\{5,7\})$

Number of such $1$ elements subset $=3$ (except selecting $\{4\}$ or $\{6\}$ )

Number of such $0$ elements subset $=1$
