The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Numbers which are divisible by 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 they are 16 in numbers. Now, Numbers which are divisible by 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77 they are 11 in numbers. Also, total odd numbers = 40 Let C represents the students who opt. for cricket, F for football and H for hockey. $\therefore$ we have $n\left(C\right) = 40, n\left(F\right) = 16, n\left(H\right) = 11$ Now, $C \cap F =$ Odd numbers which are divisible by 5. $C\cap H =$ Odd numbers which are divisible by 7. $F \cap H =$ Numbers which are divisible by both 5 and 7. $n\left(C \cap F\right), 8, n\left(C \cap H\right) = 6$, $n\left(F\cap H\right) = 2, n \left(C\cap F \cap H\right) = 1$ We Know $n\left(C\cup F\cup H\right) = n\left(C\right) + n\left(F\right) + n\left(H\right) - n\left(C \cap F\right) - n\left(C \cap H\right)$ $- n\left(F \cap H\right) + n\left(C \cap H \cap F\right)$ $n\left(C\cup F\cup H\right) = 67 - 16 + 1 = 52$ $\therefore n\left(C' \cap F' \cap H'\right)$ = Total students $- n\left(C \cup F \cup H\right)$ $n\left(C' \cap F'\cap H'\right)= 80 - 52 = 28$

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 "|".
