EXERCISE 1.1 PAGE NO: 1.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What is the difference between a collection and a set? Give reasons to support your answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well defined collections are sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples: The collection of good cricket players of India is not a set. However, the collection of all good player is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection of vowels in English alphabets is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, we can say that every set is a collection, but every collection is not necessarily a set. Only well defined collections are sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Which of the following collections are sets? Justify your answer:
(i) A collection of all natural numbers less than 50.
(ii) The collection of good hockey players in India.
(iii) The collection of all the girls in your class.
(iv) The collection of all talented writers of India.
(v) The collection of difficult topics in Mathematics.
(vi) The collection of novels written by Munshi Prem Chand.
(vii) The collection of all questions of this chapter.
(viii) The collection of all months of a year beginning with the letter J.
(ix) A collection of most dangerous animals of the world.
(x) The collection of prime integers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> It is a set. Since, collection of all natural numbers less than 50 forms a set as it is well defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> It is not a set. Since, the term \u2018good\u2019 is not well defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii)<\/strong> It is a set. Since, a collection of all the girls in your class it is a definite quantity hence it is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> It is not a set. Since, the term \u2018most\u2019 is not well defined. A writer may be talented in the eye of one person, but he may not be talented in the eye of some other person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v)<\/strong> It is not a set. Since, the term \u2018difficult\u2019 is not well defined. A topic may be difficult for one person, but may not be difficult for another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi)<\/strong> It is a set. Since, a collection of novels written by Munshi Prem Chand it is a definite quantity hence it is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vii)<\/strong> It is a set. Since, a collection of all the questions in this chapter. It is a definite quantity hence it is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(viii)<\/strong> It is a set. Since, a collection of all months of a year beginning with the letter J. It is a definite quantity hence it is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ix)<\/strong> It is not a set. Since, the term \u2018most dangerous\u2019 is not well defined. The notion of dangerous animals differs from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(x)<\/strong> It is a set. Since, a collection of prime integers. It is a definite quantity hence it is a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. If A={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, then insert the appropriate symbol or in each of the following blank spaces:
(i) 4 \u2026\u2026A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) -4\u2026\u2026A
(iii) 12\u2026..A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) 9\u2026..A
(v) 0\u2026\u2026A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi) -2\u2026\u2026A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symbol \u2018\u2208\u2019 means belongs to. \u2018\u2209\u2019 means does not belong to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) <\/strong>4 \u2026\u2026A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 \u2208 A (since, 4 is present in set A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) <\/strong>-4\u2026\u2026A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-4 \u2209 A (since, -4 is not present in set A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) <\/strong>12\u2026..A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 \u2209 A (since, 12 is not present in set A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) <\/strong>9\u2026..A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 \u2208 A (since, 9 is present in set A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v) <\/strong>0\u2026\u2026A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0 \u2208 A (since, 0 is present in set A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi) <\/strong>-2\u2026\u2026A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-2 \u2209 A (since, -2 is not present in set A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXERCISE 1.2 PAGE NO: 1.6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Describe the following sets in Roster form:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> {x : x is a letter before e in the English alphabet}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) {x \u2208 N: x2<\/sup> < 25}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) {x \u2208 N: x is a prime number, 10 < x < 20}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) {x \u2208 N: x = 2n, n \u2208 N}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v) {x \u2208 R: x > x}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi) {x : x is a prime number which is a divisor of 60}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vii) {x : x is a two digit number such that the sum of its digits is 8}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(viii) The set of all letters in the word \u2018Trigonometry\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ix) The set of all letters in the word \u2018Better.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) <\/strong>{x : x is a letter before e in the English alphabet}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when we read whole sentence it becomes x is such that x is a letter before \u2018e\u2019 in the English alphabet. Now letters before \u2018e\u2019 are a,b,c,d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {a,b,c,d}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> {x \u2208 N: x2<\/sup> < 25}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x \u2208 N that implies x is a natural number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x2<\/sup> < 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x < \u00b15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As x belongs to the natural number that means x < 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All numbers less than 5 are 1,2,3,4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {1,2,3,4}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) <\/strong>{x \u2208 N: x is a prime number, 10 < x < 20}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X is a natural number and is between 10 and 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X is such that X is a prime number between 10 and 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime numbers between 10 and 20 are 11,13,17,19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {11,13,17,19}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> {x \u2208 N: x = 2n, n \u2208 N}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X is a natural number also x = 2n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {2,4,6,8\u2026..}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This an infinite set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v) <\/strong>{x \u2208 R: x > x}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any real number is equal to its value it is neither less nor greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Roster form of such real numbers which has value less than itself has no such numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be \u03d5. This is called a null set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi) <\/strong>{x : x is a prime number which is a divisor of 60}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All numbers which are divisor of 60 are = 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, prime numbers are = 2, 3, 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {2, 3, 5}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vii) <\/strong>{x : x is a two digit number such that the sum of its digits is 8}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers which have sum of its digits as 8 are = 17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(viii) The set of all letters in the word \u2018Trigonometry\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As repetition is not allowed in a set, then the distinct letters are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trigonometry = t, r, i, g, o, n, m, e, y<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {t, r, i, g, o, n, m, e, y}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ix) The set of all letters in the word \u2018Better.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As repetition is not allowed in a set, then the distinct letters are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better = b, e, t, r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Roster form will be {b, e, t, r}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Describe the following sets in set-builder form:
(i) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

<\/strong>
{x : x = 3n, n \u2208 Z+<\/sup>, the set of positive integers}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is read as x is such that C is the set of multiples of 3 including 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> D = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{x : x \u2208 N, 9<x<16}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is read as x is such that D is the set of natural numbers which are more than 9 but less than 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v)<\/strong> E = {0}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{x : x = 0}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is read as x is such that E is an integer equal to 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi)<\/strong> {1, 4, 9, 16,\u2026, 100}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12<\/sup> = 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22<\/sup> = 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

32<\/sup> = 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

42<\/sup> = 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

102<\/sup> = 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, above set can be expressed in set-builder form as {x2<\/sup>: x \u2208 N, 1\u2264 x \u226410}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vii) <\/strong>{2, 4, 6, 8,\u2026.}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{x: x = 2n, n \u2208 N}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is read as x is such that the given set are multiples of 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(viii)<\/strong> {5, 25, 125, 625}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Which of the following are examples of empty set?
(i) Set of all even natural numbers divisible by 5.
(ii) Set of all even prime numbers.
(iii) {x: x2<\/sup>\u20132=0 and x is rational}.
(iv) {x: x is a natural number, x < 8 and simultaneously x > 12}.
(v) {x: x is a point common to any two parallel lines}.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> All numbers ending with 0. Except 0 is divisible by 5 and are even natural number. Hence it is not an example of empty set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> 2 is a prime number and is even, and it is the only prime which is even. So this not an example of the empty set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii)<\/strong> x2<\/sup> \u2013 2 = 0, x2<\/sup> = 2, x = \u00b1 \u221a2 \u2208 N. There is not natural number whose square is 2. So it is an example of empty set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> There is no natural number less than 8 and greater than 12. Hence it is an example of the empty set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v)<\/strong> No two parallel lines intersect at each other. Hence it is an example of empty set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Which of the following sets are finite and which are infinite?
(i) Set of concentric circles in a plane.
(ii) Set of letters of the English Alphabets.
(iii) {x \u2208 N: x > 5}
(iv) {x \u2208 N: x < 200}
(v) {x \u2208 Z: x < 5}
(vi) {x \u2208 R: 0 < x < 1}.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> Infinite concentric circles can be drawn in a plane. Hence it is an infinite set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> There are just 26 letters in English Alphabets. Hence it is finite set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii)<\/strong> It is an infinite set because, natural numbers greater than 5 is infinite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> It is a finite set. Since, natural numbers start from 1 and there are 199 numbers less than 200. Hence it is a finite set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v)<\/strong> It is an infinite set. Because integers less than 5 are infinite so it is an infinite set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi)<\/strong> It is an infinite set. Because between two real numbers, there are infinite real numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Which of the following sets are equal?
(i) A = {1, 2, 3}
(ii) B = {x \u2208 R:x2<\/sup>\u20132x+1=0}
(iii) C = (1, 2, 2, 3}
(iv) D = {x \u2208 R : x3<\/sup> \u2013 6x2<\/sup>+11x \u2013 6 = 0}.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A set is said to be equal with another set if all elements of both the sets are equal and same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {1, 2, 3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B ={x \u2208 R: x2<\/sup>\u20132x+1=0}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x2<\/sup>\u20132x+1 = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(x\u20131)2<\/sup> = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 x = 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {1}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C= {1, 2, 2, 3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In sets we do not repeat elements hence C can be written as {1, 2, 3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D = {x \u2208 R: x3<\/sup> \u2013 6x2<\/sup>+11x \u2013 6 = 0}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For x = 1, x2<\/sup>\u20132x+1=0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (1)3<\/sup>\u20136(1)2<\/sup>+11(1)\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 1\u20136+11\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For x =2,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (2)3<\/sup>\u20136(2)2<\/sup>+11(2)\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 8\u201324+22\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For x =3,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (3)3<\/sup>\u20136(3)2<\/sup>+11(3)\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 27\u201354+33\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 D = {1, 2, 3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the set A, C and D are equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Are the following sets equal?
A={x: x is a letter in the word reap},<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B={x: x is a letter in the word paper},
C={x: x is a letter in the word rope}.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letters in word reap<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ={R, E, A, P} = {A, E, P, R}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letters in word paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {P, A, E, R} = {A, E, P, R}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letters in word rope<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C = {R, O, P, E} = {E, O, P, R}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set A = Set B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because every element of set A is present in set B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Set C is not equal to either of them because all elements are not present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. From the sets given below, pair the equivalent sets:
A= {1, 2, 3}, B = {t, p, q, r, s}, C = {\u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3}, D = {a, e, i, o, u}.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equivalent set are different from equal sets, Equivalent sets are those which have equal number of elements they do not have to be same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {1, 2, 3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of elements = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {t, p, q, r, s}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of elements = 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C = {\u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of elements = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D = {a, e, i, o, u}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of elements = 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Set A is equivalent with Set C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set B is equivalent with Set D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Are the following pairs of sets equal? Give reasons.
(i) A = {2, 3}, B = {x: x is a solution of x2<\/sup> + 5x + 6= 0}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) A={x: x is a letter of the word \u201cWOLF\u201d}
B={x: x is letter of word \u201cFOLLOW\u201d}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> A = {2, 3}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = x2<\/sup> + 5x + 6 = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x2<\/sup> + 3x + 2x + 6 = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x(x+3) + 2(x+3) = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(x+3) (x+2) = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = -2 and -3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= {\u20132, \u20133}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since, A and B do not have exactly same elements hence they are not equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> Every letter in WOLF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {W, O, L, F} = {F, L, O, W}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every letter in FOLLOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {F, O, L, W} = {F, L, O, W}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since, A and B have same number of elements which are exactly same, hence they are equal sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. From the sets given below, select equal sets and equivalent sets.
A = {0, a}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {4, 8, 12},
D = {3, 1, 2, 4}, E = {1, 0}, F = {8, 4, 12},
G = {1, 5, 7, 11}, H = {a, b}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {0, a}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {1, 2, 3, 4}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C = {4, 8, 12}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D = {3, 1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 3, 4}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E = {1, 0}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G = {1, 5, 7, 11}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H = {a, b}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equivalent sets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i. A, E, H (all of them have exactly two elements in them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii. B, D, G (all of them have exactly four elements in them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iii. C, F (all of them have exactly three elements in them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equal sets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i. B, D (all of them have exactly the same elements, so they are equal)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii. C, F (all of them have exactly the same elements, so they are equal)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Which of the following sets are equal?
A = {x: x \u2208 N, x < 3}
B = {1, 2}, C= {3, 1}
D = {x: x \u2208 N, x is odd, x < 5}
E = {1, 2, 1, 1}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F = {1, 1, 3}<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {1, 2}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {1, 2}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C = {3, 1}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D = {1, 3} (since, the odd natural numbers less than 5 are 1 and 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E = {1, 2} (since, repetition is not allowed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F = {1, 3} (since, repetition is not allowed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Sets A, B and E are equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C, D and F are equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Show that the set of letters needed to spell \u201cCATARACT\u201d and the set of letters needed to spell \u201cTRACT\u201d are equal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For \u201cCATARACT\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distinct letters are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{C, A, T, R} = {A, C, R, T}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For \u201cTRACT\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distinct letters are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{T, R, A, C} = {A, C, R, T}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we see letters need to spell cataract is equal to set of letters need to spell tract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence the two sets are equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {1,2,3} It is finite subset of infinite set N of natural numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii)<\/strong> True<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logically smaller part of something finite can never be infinite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, every subset of a finite set is finite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Null set or empty set does not have a proper subset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v)<\/strong> False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not repeat elements in a set, so the given set becomes {a, b} which is a finite set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equivalent sets have same number of elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vii)<\/strong> False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v) The set {x: x + 8 = 8} is the null set.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> True<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 belongs to the given set {1, 2, 3} as it is present in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since, a is an element and not a subset of a set {b, c, a}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii)<\/strong> False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since, {a} is a subset of set {b, c, a} and not an element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv)<\/strong> True<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not repeat same elements in a given set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v)<\/strong> False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given, x+8 = 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i.e. x = 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the given set is a singleton set {0}. Where it is not a null set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = x2<\/sup> \u2013 8x + 12=0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21d2 (x\u20136) (x\u20132) =0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21d2 x = 2 or x = 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = {2, 6}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = {2, 4, 6}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C = {2, 4, 6, 8}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> True<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rational number is represented by the form p\/q where p and q are integers and (q not equal to 0) keeping q = 1 we can place any number as p. Which then will be an integer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. A survey shows that 76% of the Indians like oranges, whereas 62% like bananas. What percentage of the Indians like both oranges and bananas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who like oranges = 76%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who like bananas = 62%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let people who like oranges be n (O)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let people who like bananas be n (B)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total number of people who like oranges or bananas = n (O \u222a B) = 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who like both oranges and bananas = n (O \u2229 B)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (O \u222a B) = n (O) + n (B) \u2013 n (O \u2229 B)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 = 76 + 62 \u2013 n (O \u2229 B)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 = 138 \u2013 n (O \u2229 B)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (O \u2229 B) = 38<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 People who like both oranges and banana is 38%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. In a group of 950 persons, 750 can speak Hindi and 460 can speak English. Find:
(i) How many can speak both Hindi and English.
(ii) How many can speak Hindi only.
(iii) how many can speak English only.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let, total number of people be n (P) = 950<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who can speak English n (E) = 460<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who can speak Hindi n (H) = 750<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i)<\/strong> How many can speak both Hindi and English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who can speak both Hindi and English = n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (P) = n (E) + n (H) \u2013 n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n

950 = 460 + 750 \u2013 n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

950 = 1210 \u2013 n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (H \u2229 E) = 260<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Number of people who can speak both English and Hindi are 260.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii)<\/strong> How many can speak Hindi only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see that H is disjoint union of n (H\u2013E) and n (H \u2229 E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If A and B are disjoint then n (A \u222a B) = n (A) + n (B))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 H = n (H\u2013E) \u222a n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (H) = n (H\u2013E) + n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

750 = n (H \u2013 E) + 260<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (H\u2013E) = 490<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 490 people can speak only Hindi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii)<\/strong> How many can speak English only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see that E is disjoint union of n (E\u2013H) and n (H \u2229 E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If A and B are disjoint then n (A \u222a B) = n (A) + n (B))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 E = n (E\u2013H) \u222a n (H \u2229 E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (E) = n (E\u2013H) + n (H \u2229 E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

460 = n (H \u2013 E) + 260<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n (H\u2013E) = 460 \u2013 260 = 200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 200 people can speak only English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
