MCQ 1161 Mark
In a city $20$ percent of the population travels by car, $50$ percent travels by bus and $10$ percent travels by both car and bus. Then persons travelling by car or bus is......$\%$ 
  • A
    $80$ 
  • B
    $40$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$60$ 
c
(c) $n(C) = 20, n(B) = 50, n(C \cap B) = 10 $

Now $n(C  \cup B) = n(C) + n(B) -n(C  \cap B) $

$= 20 + 50 -10 = 60.$

Hence, required number of persons $= 60\%.$

MCQ 1171 Mark
$20$ teachers of a school either teach mathematics or physics. $12$ of them teach mathematics while $4$ teach both the subjects. Then the number of teachers teaching physics is
  • $12$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $16$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$12$
a
(a) Let $n\,(P)$= Number of teachers in Physics.

$n\,(M)$= Number of teachers in Maths

$n\,(P \cup M) = n(P) + n\,(M) - n\,(P \cap M)$

$20 = n\,(P) + 12 - 4$ ==> $n\,(P) = 12$.

MCQ 1181 Mark
In a class of $100$ students, $55$ students have passed in Mathematics and $67$ students have passed in Physics. Then the number of students who have passed in Physics only is
  • A
    $22$
  • B
    $33$
  • C
    $10$
  • $45$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$45$
d
(d) $n\,(M) = 55,n\,(P) = 67,n\,(M \cup P) = 100$

Now, $n\,(M \cup P) = n\,(M) + n\,(P) - n\,(M \cap P)$

$100 = 55 + 67 - n\,(M \cap P)$

$\therefore n\,(M \cap P) = 122 - 100 = 22$

Now $n$ ($P$ only) =$n\,(P) - n(M \cap P)$$ = 67 - 22 = 45$.

The number of elements in the set $\{ (a,\,b):2{a^2} + 3{b^2} = 35,\;a,\,b \in Z\} $, where $Z$ is the set of all integers, is
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • $8$
  • D
    $12$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$8$
c
(c) Given set is $\{ (a,\,b):2{a^2} + 3{b^2} = 35,\;a,\,b \in Z\} $

We can see that, $2{( \pm 2)^2} + 3{( \pm 3)^2} = 35$ and $2{( \pm 4)^2} + 3{( \pm 1)^2} = 35$

$ \therefore (2, 3), (2, -3), (-2, -3), (-2, 3), (4, 1), (4, -1),$

$(-4, -1), (-4, 1)$ are $8$ elements of the set. 

$ \therefore  n = 8$.

Correct option: B.
$\{x:1 \le x < 2\}$
b
(b) $A = [x:x \in R,\, - 1 < x < 1]$

$B = [x:x \in R:x - 1 \le - 1$ or $x - 1 \ge 1]$

= $[x:x \in R:x \le 0{\rm{ or }}x \ge 2]$

$\therefore A \cup B = R - D$, where $D = [x:x \in R,\,1 \le x < 2]$.

If $X = \{ {4^n} - 3n - 1:n \in N\} $ and $Y = \{ 9(n - 1):n \in N\} ,$ then $X \cup Y$ is equal to
  • A
    $X$
  • $Y$
  • C
    $N$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Y$
b
(b) Since, ${4^n} - 3n - 1 = {(3 + 1)^n} - 3n - 1$

$ = {3^n}{ + ^n}{C_1}{3^{n - 1}}{ + ^n}{C_2}{3^{n - 2}} + .....{ + ^n}{C_{n - 1}}3{ + ^n}{C_n} - 3n - 1$

(${ = ^n}{C_0}={ ^n}{C_n},{^n}{C_1}$ = ${^n}{C_{n - 1}}$ etc.)

$ = 9{[^n}{C_2}{ + ^n}{C_3}(3) + .....{ + ^n}{C_n}{3^{n - 1}}]$

${4^n} - 3n - 1$ is a multiple of $9$ for $n \ge 2$.

For $n = 1,$ ${4^n} - 3n - 1$ = $4 - 3 - 1 = 0$,

For $n = 2,$ ${4^n} - 3n - 1$= $16 - 6 - 1 = 9$

${4^n} - 3n - 1$ is a multiple of $9$ for all $n \in N$

$X$ contains elements, which are multiples of $9$, and clearly $Y$ contains all multiples of $9$.

$X \subseteq Y$ i.e., $X \cup Y = Y$.

  • $X \subseteq Y$
  • B
    $Y \subseteq X$
  • C
    $X = Y$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$X \subseteq Y$
a
(a) Since ${8^n} - 7n - 1 = {(7 + 1)^n} - 7n - 1$

$ = {7^n}{ + ^n}{C_1}{7^{n - 1}}{ + ^n}{C_2}{7^{n - 2}} + .....{ + ^n}{C_{n - 1}}7{ + ^n}{C_n} - 7n - 1$

${ = ^n}{C_2}{7^2}{ + ^n}{C_3}{7^3} + ..{ + ^n}{C_n}{7^n}$,${(^n}{C_0}{ = ^n}{C_n},{\,^n}{C_1}{ = ^n}{C_{n - 1}}\,{\rm{etc}}{\rm{.)}}$

$ = 49{[^n}{C_2}{ + ^n}{C_3}(7) + ......{ + ^n}{C_n}{7^{n - 2}}]$

$\therefore$ ${8^n} - 7n - 1$ is a multiple of $49$ for $n \ge 2$

For $n = 1$, ${8^n} - 7n - 1 = 8 - 7 - 1 = 0$;

For $n = 2,$ ${8^n} - 7n - 1 = 64 - 14 - 1 = 49$

$\therefore$ ${8^n} - 7n - 1$ is a multiple of $49$ for all $n \in N.$

$\therefore $ $X$ contains elements which are multiples of $49$ and clearly $Y$ contains all multiplies of $49$. $X \subseteq Y$.

Suppose ${A_1},\,{A_2},\,{A_3},........,{A_{30}}$ are thirty sets each having $5$ elements and ${B_1},\,{B_2}, ......., B_n$ are $n$ sets each with $3$ elements. Let $\bigcup\limits_{i = 1}^{30} {{A_i}} = \bigcup\limits_{j = 1}^n {{B_j}} = S$ and each elements of $S$ belongs to exactly $10$ of the $A_i's$ and exactly $9$ of the $B_j's$. Then $n$ is equal to
  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $3$
  • $45$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$45$
c
(c) $O(S)$ = $O\left( {\bigcup\limits_{i = 1}^{30} {{A_i}} } \right) = \frac{1}{{10}}(5 \times 30) = 15$

Since, element in the union $S$ belongs to $10$ of $Ai$' s

Also, $O(S)$ = $O\left( {\bigcup\limits_{j\, = 1}^n {{B_j}} } \right) = \frac{{3n}}{9} = \frac{n}{3}$,

$\therefore$ $\frac{n}{3} = 15 \Rightarrow n = 45$.

The number of boys who did not play any game is
  • A
    $128$
  • B
    $216$
  • C
    $240$
  • $160$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$160$
d
(d) $n\,(C) = 224,\,n\,(H) = 240,n\,(B) = 336$

$n\,(H \cap B) = 64,\,\,n(B \cap C) = 80$

$n(H \cap C) = 40$, $n(C \cap H \cap B) = 24$

$n\,({C^c} \cap {H^c} \cap {B^C}) = n\,[{(C \cup H \cup B)^c}]$

$ = n( \cup ) - n(C \cup H \cup B)$

$ = 800 - [n(C) + n(H) + n(B) - n(H \cap C)$

$ - n(H \cap B) - n(C \cap B) + n(C \cap H \cap B)]$

$ = 800 - [224 + 240 + 336 - 64 - 80 - 40 + 24]$

$ = 800 - 640 = 160$.

A survey shows that $63\%$ of the Americans like cheese whereas $76\%$ like apples. If $x\%$ of the Americans like both cheese and apples, then
  • A
    $x = 39$
  • B
    $x = 63$
  • $39 \le x \le 63$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$39 \le x \le 63$
c
(c) Let $A$ denote the set of Americans who like cheese and let $B$ denote the set of Americans who like apples.

Let Population of American be $100$.

Then $n\,(A) = 63,n\,(B) = 76$

Now, $n\,(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)$

$ = 63 + 76 - n(A \cap B)$

 $\therefore n\,(A \cup B) + n(A \cap B) = 139$

==> $n\,(A \cap B) = 139 - n(A \cup B)$

But $n\,(A \cup B) \le 100$

$\therefore - n\,(A \cup B) \ge - 100$

 $\therefore 139 - n\,(A \cup B) \ge 139 - 100 = 39$

 $\therefore n(A \cap B) \ge 39$ i.e., $39 \le n(A \cap B)$.....(i)

Again, $A \cap B \subseteq A,A \cap B \subseteq B$

$ \therefore n\,(A \cap B) \le n\,(A) = 63$ and $n\,(A \cap B) \le n\,(B) = 76$

$\therefore n(A \cap B) \le 63$…..(ii)

Then, $39 \le n\,(A \cap B) \le 63$ ==> $39 \le x \le 63$.

MCQ 1281 Mark
In a certain town $25\%$ families own a phone and $15\%$ own a car, $65\%$ families own neither a phone nor a car. $2000$ families own both a car and a phone. Consider the following statements in this regard:

$1$. $10\%$ families own both a car and a phone

$2$. $35\%$ families own either a car or a phone

$3$. $40,000$ families live in the town

Which of the above statements are correct

  • A
    $1$ and $2$
  • B
    $1$ and $3$
  • $2$ and $3$
  • D
    $1, 2$ and $3$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2$ and $3$
c
(c) $n(P) = 25\% ,\,\,n(C) = 15\% $

$n\,({P^c} \cap {C^c}) = 65\% ,\,\,n(P \cap C) = 2000$

Since, $n\,({P^c} \cap {C^c}) = 65\% $

$\therefore$ $n\,{(P \cup C)^c} = 65\% $ and $n(P \cup C) = 35\% $

Now, $n(P \cup C) = n(P) + n(C) - n(P \cap C)$

$35 = 25 + 15 - n(P \cap C)$

$\therefore$ $n(P \cap C) = 40 - 35 = 5$. Thus $n\,(P \cap C) = 5\% $

But $n\,(P \cap C) = 2000$

$\therefore$  Total number of families $ = \frac{{2000 \times 100}}{5} = 40,000$

Since, $n(P \cup C) = 35\% $

and total number of families = $40,000$

and $n(P \cap C) = 5\% $. $\therefore$  $(2)$ and $(3)$ are correct.

$2(\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB}))=\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})$

$2 n(A)-n(B)=n(A B)$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+3 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=5 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+3 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=10 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})-5 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})$

$8 n(\mathrm{B})=9 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})$

$\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})}=\frac{8}{9}$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})=8 \mathrm{k} ; \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=9 \mathrm{k}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{AB})=7 \mathrm{k}$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})=10 \mathrm{k} \leq 10$

$\mathrm{k}=1$
