Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.
1. The number of subsets of a set containing n elements is
(a) 2n (b) 2n – 1 (c) 2n – 1 (d) nn
Ans: (a), if a set contains n elements then there are 2n subsets of the set.

(a) A′ ∪ B ∪ C (b) A′ ∪ B (c) A′ ∪ C′ (d) A′ ∩ B
Ans: (b) A′ ∪ B
(A ∩ B′)′ ∪ (B ∩ C) = {A′ ∪ (B′)′} ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A′ ∪ B) ∪ (B ∩ C) = A′ ∪ B

4. Let S = set of all points inside the square, T = the set of points inside the triangle and C = the set

7. Representation of set A = {x | x ∈ Z, x2 < 20} in the roster form is
(a) {1, 2, 3, ..., 20} (b) {1, 2, 3, 4}
(c) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} (d) {–4, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
Ans: (d) {–4, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
We observe that the squares of integers 0, ± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4 are less than 20.
Therefore, the set A in roster form is
A = {– 4, – 3, – 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

8. The set {– 1, 1} in the set builder form can be written as

(a) {–1, 1} (b) {x ∈ W : x ≤ 1}
(c) {x ∈ Z : x ≤ 1} (d) {x : x is a solution of x2 = 1}
2
Ans: (d) {x : x is a solution of x = 1}
Elements are –1 and 1, we can have x2 = 1, x ∈ Z or Q or R
∴ set is {x : x is a solution of x2 = 1}.

For Q9 and Q10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Choose
the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

9. Assertion (A): The set A = {x : x is an even prime number greater than 2} is the empty set.
Reason (R): The set B = {x : x2 = 4, x is odd} is not an empty set.
Ans: (c) Assertion is true and Reason is false
Assertion: 2 is the only even prime number. So, set A is the empty set.
Reason: The equation x2 = 4 is not satisfied by any odd value of x. So, set B is the empty set.
Hence, Assertion is true and Reason is false.

10. Assertion (A): If n(A) = 3, n(B ) = 6 and A  B, then the number of elements in A  B is 9.
Reason (R): If A and B are disjoint, then n(A  B ) is n(A) + n(B ).
Ans: (d) Assertion is false and Reason is true
Assertion: A  B
⇒ n(A  B) =n(B) = 6
Reason: If A and B are disjoint, then n(A  B) = n(A) + n(B)
Hence, Assertion is false and Reason is true.

SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. A and B are two sets such that : n(A – B) = 14 + x, n(B – A) = 3x and n(A ∩ B) = x, draw a Venn
diagram to illustrate information and if n(A) = n(B) then find the value of x.
Ans: Given n(A – B) = 14 + x;
n(B – A) = 3x,
n(A ∩ B) = x

n(A) = n(B)
⇒ n(A – B) + n(A ∩ B) = n(B – A) + n(A ∩ B)

Page - 2 -
 ⇒ 14 + x + x = 3x + x ⇒ 14 = 2x ⇒ x = 7

12. 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. Find the values of m and n.
Ans: Number of subsets of A = 2m
Number of subsets of B = 2n
2m – 2n = 56
2n (2m–n – 1) = 23 (23 – 1)
⇒ n = 3 and m – n = 3 ⇒ n = 3 and m = 6.

13. A and B are two sets such that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 6. Find (i) minimum value of n(A ∪ B) (ii)
maximum value of n(A ∪ B).
Ans: n(A ∪ B) is minimum when n (A ∩ B) is maximum, i.e. 3.
∴ Minimum n (A ∪ B) = 6.
n(A ∪ B) is maximum when n(A ∩ B) is minimum, i.e. 0.
∴ Maximum n (A ∪ B) = 9.

14. If U = {x : x ≤ 10, x ∈ N}, A = {x : x ∈ N, x is prime}, B = {x : x ∈ N, x is even}, write A ∩ B′ in

roster form.
Ans: U = {1, 2, 3, ..., 10} A = {2, 3, 5, 7}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} B′ = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
⇒ A ∩ B′ = {2, 3, 5, 7 } ∩ {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} = {3, 5, 7}.

SECTION – C
Questions 15 to 17 carry 3 marks each.
15. In an examination, 80% students passed in Mathematics, 72% passed in Science and 13% failed
in both the subjects, if 312 students passed in both the subjects. Find the total number of students
who appeared in the examination.
Ans: Let total students = 100 Let n(U) = 100
Then number of students passing in Mathematics = 80, n(M) = 80
Number of students passing in Science = 72, n(S) = 72
Number of students passing in at least one of the Subjects = 87, n(M ∪ S) = 87
∴ n(M ∪ S) = n(M) + n(S) – n(M ∩ S)
⇒ 87 = 80 + 72 – n(M ∩ S)
⇒ n(M ∪ S) = 65
So 65% passed in both the subjects.
Let total number of students = x
⇒ 65% of x = 312
100
⇒x= × 312 = 480.
65
Total number of students are 480.

16. Let A, B and C be three sets such that A ∪ B = A ∪ C and A ∩ B = A ∩ C. Show that B = C.
Ans: We have A ∪ B = A ∪ C
⇒ (A ∪ B) ∩ C = (A ∪ C) ∩ C
⇒ (A ∩ C) ∪ (B ∩ C) = C
⇒ (A ∩ B) ∪ (B ∩ C) = C …(i) [As A ∩ C = A ∩ B]
Again A ∪ B = A ∪ C
⇒ (A ∪ B) ∩ B = (A ∪ C) ∩ B
⇒ B = (A ∩ B) ∪ (B ∩ C) …(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get B = C

17. Let U ={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}, A = {2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5}. Show that (A ∪ B)′ = A′ ∩ B′ and (A ∩
B)′ = A′ ∪ B′
Ans: Given U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}, A = {2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5}
A ∪ B = {2, 3, 4} ∪ {3, 4, 5} = {2, 3, 4, 5}
∴ (A ∪ B)′ = {2, 3, 4, 5}′ = {1, 6, 8} ... (i)
A′ = {2, 3, 4}′ = {1, 5, 6, 8}
B′ = {3, 4, 5} = {1, 2, 6, 8}
∴ A′ ∩ B′ = {1, 5, 6, 8} ∩ {1, 2, 6, 8} = {1, 6, 8} ... (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
(A ∪ B)′ = A′ ∪ B′.
Now, A ∩ B = {2, 3, 4} ∩ {3, 4, 5} = {3, 4}
(A ∩ B)′ = {1, 2, 5, 6, 8} ... (iii)
A′ ∪ B′ = {1, 5, 6, 8} ∪ {1, 2, 6, 8} = {1, 2, 5, 6, 8} ... (iv)
From (iii) and (iv), we get
(A ∩ B)′ = A′ ∪ B′.

French and English = 9, English and Sanskrit = 4
French and Sanskrit = 5, English, French and Sanskrit = 3. Find the number of students who
study
(i) French only
(ii) English only
(iii) Sanskrit only
(iv) English and Sanskrit but not French
(v) French and Sanskrit but not English
Ans: F : set of students studying French

E : set of students studying English

S : set of students studying Sanskrit
n(F) = 17, n(E) = 13, n(S) = 15, n(F ∩ E) = 9, n(E ∩ S) = 4, n(F ∩ S) = 5, n(E ∩ F ∩ S) = 3
Given a + d + g + e = 17 ...(i)
b + f + c + g = 13 ...(ii)
c + d + g + f = 15 ...(iii)
c+g=9 ...(iv)
g+f=4 ...(v)
d+g=5 ...(vi)
g=5 ...(vii)
From (i) to (vii) we get
d = 2, f = 1, e = 6, a = 6, b = 3, c = 9
(i) Number of students studying French only = a = 6.
(ii) Number of students studying English only = b = 3

Page - 4 -
 (iii) Number of students studying Sanskrit only = c = 9
(iv) Number of students studying English and Sanskrit but not French = f = 1.
(v) Number of students studying French and Sanskrit but not English = d = 2

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. In a city of 56,000 people, following is the number of fans of players Rohit (R), Virat (V) and
Dhoni (D):

Players Number of Fans

Rohit 23,000
Virat 25,000
Dhoni 18,000
Rohit and Virat 12,000
Rohit and Dhoni 10,000
Virat and Dhoni 8,000
Rohit, Virat and Dhoni 3,000

Based on the above information, answer the following:

(i) How many people are fans of at least 2 players?
(ii) How many people are fans of exactly 1 player?
(iii) How many people are fans of exactly 2 players?
(iv) How many people follow R or V but not D?
Ans:

(i)

n[(R∩V) ∪ (V∩D) ∪ (R∩D)]

= n(R∩V) + n(V∩D) + n(R∩D) – [n(R∩V)∩)V∩D) + n(V∩D)∩(D∩R) + n(V∩R)∩(R∩D)]
+ n[(R∩V)∩(V∩D)∩(R∩D)]
= n(R∩V) + n(V∩D) + n(R∩D) – 3 · n(R∩V∩D) + n(R∩V∩D)
= n(R∩V) + n(V∩D) + n(R∩D) – 2n(R∩V∩D)
= 12,000 + 8,000 + 10,000 – 2 × 3,000 = 24,000

Page - 5 -
 (ii)

n(R ∪ V ∪ D) – n(At least 2 players)

= 39,000 – 24,000 = 15,000
(iii)

n(At least 2 players) – n(R∩V∩D)

= 24000 – 3000 = 21,000
(iv)

n(R ∪ V) – n(V∩D ∪ R∩D)

= n(R) + n(V) – n(R∩V) – [n(V∩D) + n(R∩D) – n(V∩D∩R∩D)]
= n(R) + n(V) – [n(R∩V) + n(V∩D) + n(R∩D)] + n(R∩V∩D)
= 23,000 + 25,000 – (12,000 + 8,000 + 10,000) + 3,000 = 21,000

Ans: Let ‘M’ represent the set of students who have taken Maths. ‘E’ represent the set of
students who have taken Economics. ‘PH’ represent the set of students who have taken Physical
Education.

Page - 6 -
(i) at least one of the subjects = M ∪ E ∪ PH = 10 + 40 + 20 + 40 + 30 + 20 = 160
(at least one subject means one subject or two subjects or three subjects)
(ii) at most one of the subjects = one subject or none of the subjects = 10 + 40 + 40 + 0 = 90
(iii) None of the subjects = 40
(iv) exactly one subject = 10 + 40 + 0 = 50
