Question:

If $U= \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11\}$, $A = \{2, 4, 7\}$, $B = \{3, 5, 7, 9, 11\}$ and $C = \{7, 8, 9, 10, 11\}$, compute $(A \cap U) \cap (B \cup C)$.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Here $A \cap U = \{2,4,7\}$; $B \cup C = \{3,5,7,8,9,10,11\}$. $(A \cap C) \cap (B \cup C) = \{2,4,7\} \cap \{3,5,7,8,9,10,11\} = \{7\}$

Concepts Used:

Sets

Set is the collection of well defined objects. Sets are represented by capital letters, eg. A={}. Sets are composed of elements which could be numbers, letters, shapes, etc.

Example of set: Set of vowels A={a,e,i,o,u}

Representation of Sets

There are three basic notation or representation of sets are as follows:

Statement Form: The statement representation describes a statement to show what are the elements of a set.

  • For example, Set A is the list of the first five odd numbers.

Roster Form: The form in which elements are listed in set. Elements in the set is seperatrd by comma and enclosed within the curly braces.

  • For example represent the set of vowels in roster form.

A={a,e,i,o,u}

Set Builder Form: 

  1. The set builder representation has a certain rule or a statement that specifically describes the common feature of all the elements of a set.
  2. The set builder form uses a vertical bar in its representation, with a text describing the character of the elements of the set.
  3. For example, A = { k | k is an even number, k ≤ 20}. The statement says, all the elements of set A are even numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
  4. Sometimes a ":" is used in the place of the "|".
