Q1. How many elements has P(A), if A =  ?
Sol. Since A =  so, number of elements in set A = 0.
Therefore, number of elements in P(A) = 20 = 1.

Q2. Match each of the sets on the left in the tabular (roster) form with the same set on the right
given in the set builder form:
(i) {5, 10, 15, …} (a) x : x is a letter of the word COLLEGE
(ii) {C, O, L, E, G} (b) x : x is an odd natural number less than 10
(iii) {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} (c) x : x = 5n, n  N
(iv) {2, 3} (d) x : x is a prime number and a divisor of 12
Q04. i – c, ii – a, iii – b, iv – d

Q3 (a) Write (–5, 9] in set-builder form.


(b) Write {x : −3  x  7} as interval.
(c) Write  as an interval in set builder form.
(d) If A = {1, 3, 5}, how many elements has P(A)?
(e) Write all the possible subsets of A = {5, 6}.
Q04. (a) {x : x  R, −5  x  9}
(b) [−3,7]
(c) {x : x  R, a  x  a}
(d) n(A) = 3  n[P(A)] = 23 = 8
(e) ,{5},{6},{5,6}

Q4. Let X be the set of all the letters in the word ROOM. Write the power set of X.
Q07. We have X = {M, O, R}
 P(X) = {  , {M}, {O}, {R}, {M, O}, {O, R}, {R, M}, {M, O, R}}.

Q5 Let A and B be two finite sets such that n(A) = m and n(B) = n. If the ratio of number of elements of
power sets of A and B is 64 : 1 and n(A) + n(B) = 32. Find the value of m and n.
Q10. Given that n(A) = m and n(B) = n  n[P(A)] = 2m and n[P(B)] = 2n
Now, 2m : 2n = 64 :1 and, n(A) + n(B) = m + n = 32
That implies, 2m − n = 26  m − n = 6...(i) and, m + n = 32...(ii)
Adding (i) & (ii), 2m = 38  m = 19 .
Replacing m = 19 in (ii), we get n = 13
Therefore, m = 19, n = 13 .

Q6. Which of the following sets are finite or infinite? Justify.


(a) The set of all the points on the circumference of a circle.
(b) m : m  N and m is an even prime number .
Ans (a) It is an infinite set because circle is a collection of infinite points whose distances from the
centre is constant.
(b) It is a finite set as m : m  N and m is an even prime number = 2 .

Q7 If A = 2, 4,6,8,10 and B = 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 , find: (a) A – B (b) B – A.


Ans We have A = 2, 4,6,8,10 and B = 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
(a) A – B = 2 (b) B − A = {5,7,9,11} .

Q8 Draw appropriate venn diagram for each of the followings:


a) (A  B) b) A  B c) (A  B) d) A  B .
Ans (a) ( A  B) ' & (b) A'  B' (c) ( A  B) ' & (d) A'  B'

U
A B or A B

Q9 On the Number line of Real numbers (Real axis), if A = [0,3] and B = [2,6] . Then determine the
followings :
(a) A (b) A  B (c) A  B (d) A − B
Ans Here A = [0,3] and B = [2,6]
(a) A = R − A i.e., (−, ) − [0,3] or, (−,0)  (3, )
(b) A  B = [0,3] [2,6] = [0, 6]
(c) A  B = [0,3] [2,6] = [2, 3]
(d) A − B = [0,3] − [2,6] = [0, 2) .

Q10. Show that A  B = A − B .

Q11 Show that for any sets A and B,


(a) A = ( A  B)  ( A − B)
Q12 Show that n  P P ( P() ) = 4 .
Q11. Let A =   n(A) = 0 . So, P(A) = {} = B say.
Then P(B) = ,{} = C say.  n(C) = 2  n  P(C)  = n P P ( P(A) ) = 22 = 4 .

Q13. Using properties of sets, show that


(i) A ∪ ( A ∩ B ) = A (ii) A ∩ ( A ∪ B ) = A.
Sol. Assume that U denotes the universal set.
(i) A  (A  B) = (A  U)  (A  B) [As A  U = A
= A  (U  B) [By distributive law
= AU [As U  B = U
 A  (A  B) = A .
(ii) A  (A  B) = (A  )  (A  B) [As A  = A
= A  ( B) [By distributive law
= A  [As  B = 
 A  (A  B) = A .

Q14. Assume that P ( A ) = P ( B ). Show that A = B.


Sol. Let x  A . Then there is a subset X of set A such that x  X .
Now X  A  X  P(A)
 X  P(B) [ P(A) = P(B)
XB
 xB. [ x  X and X  B  x  B
Thus, x  A  x  B .
 AB …(i)
Similarly if y  B . Then there is a subset Y of set B such that y  Y .
Now Y  B  Y  P(B)
 Y  P(A) [ P(A) = P(B)
YA
 y A . [ y  Y and Y  A  y  A
Thus, y  B  y  A .
 B A …(ii)
By (i) & (ii), we have: A = B.

Q15. Let A, B, and C be the sets such that A ∪ B = A ∪ C and A ∩ B = A ∩ C. Show that B = C.
Sol. Given A  B = A  C
 (A  B)  B = (A  C)  B
 B = (A  B)  (C  B)
 B = (A  B)  (B  C) …(i)
Also, A  B= A  C
 (A  B)  C = (A  C)  C
 (A  C)  (B  C) = C
 (A  B)  (B  C) = C …(ii) [Given A  B = A  C
By (i) and (ii), we have: B = C.
