Important Questions on 11th Maths Chapter 1

Write the following sets in the set-builder form: (3, 6, 9, 12).

Set builder form of {3, 6, 9, 12}

= {x: x = 3n, n∈ N and 1 ≤ n ≤ 4}

List all the elements of the following set: A = {x: x is an odd natural number}.

A = {x: x is an odd natural number}

= {1, 3, 5, 7, 9 …}

Write down all the subsets of the following set: {1, 2, 3}.

The subsets of {1, 2, 3} are

Φ,
{1},
{2},
{3},
{1, 2},
{2, 3},
{1, 3}
{1, 2, 3}

Let A = {a, b}, B = {a, b, c}. Is A ⊂ B? What is A ∪ B?

Here, A = {a, b} and B = {a, b, c}
Yes, A ⊂ B.
A ∪ B = {a, b, c} = B

In a group of 400 people, 250 can speak Hindi and 200 can speak English. How many people can speak both Hindi and English?

Let H be the set of people who speak Hindi, and E be the set of people who
speak English
∴ n(H ∪ E) = 400, n(H) = 250, n(E) = 200 n(H ∩ E) = ?
We know that: n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)
∴ 400 = 250 + 200 – n(H ∩ E)
⇒ 400 = 450 – n(H ∩ E) ⇒ n(H ∩ E) = 450 – 400
∴ n(H ∩ E) = 50
Thus, 50 people can speak both Hindi and English.

If S and T are two sets such that S has 21 elements, T has 32 elements and S ∩ T has 11 elements, how many elements does S ∪ T have?

It is given that: n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32, n(S ∩ T) = 11
We know that: n (S ∪ T) = n (S) + n (T) – n (S ∩ T)
∴ n (S ∪ T) = 21 + 32 – 11 = 42
Thus, the set (S ∪ T) has 42 elements.

If X and Y are two sets such that X has 40 elements, X ∪Y has 60 elements and X ∩Y has 10 elements, how many elements does Y have?

It is given that:
n(X) = 40,
n(X ∪ Y) = 60,
n(X ∩ Y) = 10

We know that:
n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n(X ∩ Y)
∴ 60 = 40 + n(Y) – 10
∴ n(Y) = 60 – (40 – 10) = 30
Thus, the set Y has 30 elements.

In a group of 70 people, 37 like coffee, 52 like tea, and each person likes at least one of the two drinks. How many people like both coffee and tea?

Let C denote the set of people who like coffee, and T denote the set of people
who like tea n(C ∪ T) = 70, n(C) = 37, n(T) = 52

We know that:
n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – n(C ∩ T) ∴ 70 = 37 + 52 – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ 70 = 89 – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ n(C ∩ T) = 89 – 70 = 19
Thus, 19 people like both coffee and tea.

In a group of 65 people, 40 like cricket, 10 like both cricket and tennis. How many like tennis only and not cricket? How many like tennis?

Let C denote the set of people who like cricket, and T denote the set of people
who like tennis
∴ n(C ∪ T) = 65, n(C) = 40, n(C ∩ T) = 10
We know that: n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – n(C ∩ T)
∴ 65 = 40 + n(T) – 10
⇒ 65 = 30 + n(T)
⇒ n(T) = 65 – 30 = 35
Therefore, 35 people like tennis.
Now,
(T – C) ∪ (T ∩ C) = T
Also,
(T – C) ∩ (T ∩ C) = Φ
∴ n (T) = n (T – C) + n (T ∩ C)
⇒ 35 = n (T – C) + 10
⇒ n (T – C) = 35 – 10 = 25
Thus, 25 people like only tennis.

In a committee, 50 people speak French, 20 speak Spanish and 10 speak both Spanish and French. How many speak at least one of these two languages?

Let F be the set of people in the committee who speak French and S be the set of people in the committee who speak Spanish
∴ n(F) = 50, n(S) = 20, n(S ∩ F) = 10
We know that: n(S ∪ F) = n(S) + n(F) – n(S ∩ F)
= 20 + 50 – 10
= 70 – 10 = 60
Thus, 60 people in the committee speak at least one of the two languages.

In a survey of 600 students in a school, 150 students were found to be taking tea and 225 taking coffee, 100 were taking both tea and coffee. Find how many students were taking neither tea nor coffee?

Let U be the set of all students who took part in the survey.
Let T be the set of students taking tea.
Let C be the set of students taking coffee.
Accordingly, n(U) = 600, n(T) = 150, n(C) = 225, n(T ∩ C) = 100
To find: Number of student taking neither tea nor coffee i.e.,
we have to find n(T’ ∩ C’).
n(T’ ∩ C’) = n(T ∪ C)’
= n(U) – n(T ∪ C)
= n(U) – [n(T) + n(C) – n(T ∩ C)]
= 600 – [150 + 225 – 100]
= 600 – 275
= 325
Hence, 325 students were taking neither tea nor coffee.

In a group of students 100 students know Hindi, 50 know English and 25 know both. Each of the students knows either Hindi or English. How many students are there in the group?

Let U be the set of all students in the group.
Let E be the set of all students who know English.
Let H be the set of all students who know Hindi.
∴ H ∪ E = U
Accordingly, n(H) = 100 and n(E) = 50
n( H U E ) = n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)
= 100 + 50 – 25
= 125
Hence, there are 125 students in the group.
