GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• This test contains 30 MCQ's. For each question only one option is correct. Darken the correct circle/ bubble in the
Response Grid provided on each page.
• You have to evaluate your Response Grids yourself with the help of solutions provided at the end of this book.
• Each correct answer will get you 4 marks and 1 mark shall be deduced for each incorrect answer. No mark will be given/
deducted if no bubble is filled. Keep a timer in front of you and stop immediately at the end of 60 min.
• The sheet follows a particular syllabus. Do not attempt the sheet before you have completed your preparation for that
syllabus.
• After completing the sheet check your answers with the solution booklet and complete the Result Grid. Finally spend time
to analyse your performance and revise the areas which emerge out as weak in your evaluation.

1. (c) {5} is a subset of A as 5 Î A Now n( M Ç P 'Ç C ') = n[ M Ç ( P È C ) ']
But, {1, 2} is not a subset of A as elements 1, 2 Ï A.
2. (a) Let U be the set of consumers questioned X, the set of = n( M ) - n[( M Ç ( P È C )]
consumers who liked the product A and Y, the set of = n( M ) - n[( M Ç P) È ( M Ç C )]
consumers who liked the product B. Then n (U) = 1000,
n (X) = 720, n (Y) = 450 = n( M ) - n ( M Ç P ) - n ( M Ç C ) + n ( M Ç P Ç C )
n (XÈY) = n (X) + n (Y) – n (XÇY) = 1170 – n (XÇY) = 23 – 12 – 9 + 4 = 27 – 21 = 6
\ n (X Ç Y) = 1170 – n (X È Y) n( P Ç M 'Ç C ') = n[ P Ç (M È C ) ']
Clearly n (X Ç Y) is least
When n (X È Y) is maximum. = n( P) - n[ P Ç ( M È C )]
Now, XÈY Ì U
= n( P) - n[( P Ç M ) È ( P Ç C )]
\ n(XÈY) £ n (U) = 1000
\ the maximum value of n (XÈY) is 1000. = n ( P ) - n( P Ç M ) - n( P Ç C ) + n ( P Ç M Ç C )
Thus the least value of n (XÇY) is 170 = 24 – 12 – 7 + 4 = 9
3. (d) For a set S, the partition of S is a set of subsets of S, such
that they are pair-wise disjoint and their union is S. n(C Ç M 'Ç P ')
In the options (a) & (b), the subsets are not disjoint. = n(C ) - n(C Ç P ) - n(C Ç M ) + n(C Ç P Ç M )
In the option (c), the subsets are disjoints but their = 19 – 7 – 9 + 4 = 23 – 16 = 7
union is not equal to the given set.
8. (c) We have
Only the option (d) meets with both the requirements.
min n (A È B) = max {n(A), n (B)} = max {3, 6} = 6
4. (a) From Venn-Euler’s Diagram.
max n (A È B) = n (A) + n (B) = 9

\ (A È B) ' È (A 'Ç B) = A ' x

5. (d) A = {(n, 2n) : n Î N} and B = {(2n, 3n)}: n Î N W
Listing few members of each set
n (I) = 29 + 23 = 52
A = {(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6),....} n (F) = 100 – 52 = 48
B = {(2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9)......}
n(M È D) = n(M) + n(D) - n(M Ç D)
There is no member common to both these sets, hence.
A ÇB= f 24 = 23 + 4 - n(M Ç D)
6. (a) bN = {bx : x ÎN} \ n(M Ç D) = 3
cN = {cx : x ÎN}
\ bN Ç cN = {x : x is multiple of b and c both} \ n ( W Ç D) = 4 - 3 = 1
= { x: x is multiple of l.c.m. of b and c } 11. (c) Suppose a Î X and aÎA
= { x : x is multiple of b c} Þ aÎ X È A Þ aÎ Y È A
[given b and c are relatively prime \ l.c.m. of b and Þ aÎ Y and aÎA (Q XÈA = YÈA)
c = bc] Þ aÎYÇA Þ YÇA is non-empty
\ bN Ç cN = {bc x : x ÎN} = dN (Given)
This contradicts that YÇA = f
\ d = bc.
So, X = Y
7. (d) n( M ) = 23, n( P) = 24, n(C ) = 19
12. (d) (a) x Î A - B Û x Î A and x Ï B
n( M Ç P) = 12, n( M Ç C ) = 9, n( P Ç C ) = 7
Û x Î A and x Î B' Û x Î A Ç B'
n( M Ç P Ç C ) = 4 \ A – B = A Ç B' ...(i)
We have to find n( M Ç P 'Ç C '), n( P Ç M 'Ç C '), x ÎA and x ÎB'
Û x ÏA' and xÎB' Û xÎB' and xÏA'
n(C Ç M 'Ç P ')
 \ A – B = B' – A' ...(ii) = n(A) - n(A Ç B)
Clearly (a) is not correct. Also from (i) (c) is not correct.
Replacing A by P and B by Q È R, we have
Next let xÎA – (A – B)
Û xÎA and xÏA – B n (P Ç (Q È R) ') = n(P) - n(P Ç (Q È R)) etc.
Û xÎA and [x ÏA or x ÎB] Hence all options are correct.
A – (A – B) = A Ç B 15. (a) Minimum value of n = 100 – (30 + 20 + 25 +15)
Û [xÎA and x ÏA] or [ x ÎA and xÎB] = 100 – 90 = 10
\ A – (A – B) = f È (A Ç B) = A Ç B 16. (c) n (A' Ç B') = n (A È B)' = n (U) – n (A È B)
\ (b) is also incorrect = n (U) – [n (A) + n (B) – n (A Ç B)]

n(P Ç Q) = 500, n (Q Ç R) = 300 Also, total odd numbers = 40

(i) Number of families buying only A = n(P Ç Q¢ Ç R¢) for football and H for hockey.
= n (P Ç (Q È R)') = n(P) –n(P Ç (Q È R)) \ we have n(C) = 40, n(F) = 16, n(H) = 11
Now, C Ç F = Odd numbers which are divisible by 5.

Also, b + c + d = 22
\ n(A) = n(A Ç B) f = 25
 From these, we get 27. (d) We have

for (c) e = 1 Þ (c) is correct = 28 – {n(C Ç A) – n (A Ç B Ç C)} ...(i)
21. (b) Given set can be written as Since n (C Ç A) ³ n (A Ç B Ç C)
(A – B) È (B – A) = (A È B) – (A Ç B) We have n (C Ç A) – n (A Ç B Ç C) ³ 0...(ii)
(By definition of symmetric difference) From (i) and (ii)
Hence, (A \ B) È (B \ A) = (A È B) \ (A Ç B) n (A È B È C) £ 28 ...(iii)
22. (c) A = {1, 3, 5, 15}, B = {2, 3, 5, 7} C = {2, 4, 6, 8 } Now, n(A È B) = n (A) +n (B) – n (A Ç B)
= 10 + 15 – 8 = 17
\ A È C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,15} and n (B È C) = n (B) + n (C) – n (B Ç C)
(A È C) Ç B = {2, 3, 5} = 15 + 20 – 9 = 26
Since, n (A È B È C) ³ n (AÈC) and
23. (b) 2m - 2n = 112 Þ 2n (2 m- n - 1) = 16.7 n (AÈBÈC) ³ n (BÈC), we have
\ 2n (2m -n - 1) = 24 (23 - 1) n (AÈBÈC) ³ 17 and n (AÈBÈC) ³ 26
Hence n (AÈBÈC) ³ 26 ...(iv)
Comparing we get n = 4 and m – n = 3 From (iii) and (iv) we obtain
Þ n = 4 and m = 7 26 £ n (AÈBÈC) £ 28

25. (d) n(A) = 1000, n(B) = 500, n(A Ç B) ³ 1, 29. (b) n(A) = 40% of 10,000 = 4,000
n(A È B) = p n(B) = 20% of 10,000 = 2,000
n(A È B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A Ç B) n(C) = 10% of 10,000 = 1,000
p = 1000 + 500 – n (A Ç B) n( A Ç B) = 5% of 10,000 = 500
1 £ n(A Ç B) £ 500 n( B Ç C ) = 3% of 10,000 = 300
Hence p £ 1499 and p ³ 1000
n(C Ç A) = 4% of 10,000 = 400
1000 £ p £ 1499
n( A Ç B Ç C ) = 2% of 10, 000 = 200
26. (c) Given set is {(a, b) : 2a 2 + 3b2 = 35, a, b Î Z } c c c
We want to find n( A Ç B Ç C ) = n[ A Ç ( B È C ) ]
2
We can see that, 2(±2) + 3(±3) = 35 2
= n( A) - n[ A Ç ( B È C )]
and 2(±4)2 + 3(±1)2 = 35 = n( A) - n[( A Ç B ) È ( A Ç C )]
\ (2, 3), (2, – 3), (–2, – 3), (–2, 3), (4, 1), (4, – 1), = n( A) - [n( A Ç B) + n( A Ç C ) - n( A Ç B Ç C )]
(– 4, –1), (–4, 1) are 8 elements of the set . \ n = 8.
= 4000 – [500 +400 – 200] = 4000 – 700 = 3300.
30. (b) Both statements are correct but second statement is
not proper explaination of statement-1.
