Explanation: A ∩ (A ∪ B)′ = A ∩ (A′ ∩ B′),
(∵ (A ∪ B)′ = A′ ∩ B′) = (A ∩ A′) ∩ B′, (by associative law)
= ϕ ∩ B′ (∵ A ∩ A′ = ϕ) = ϕ.
9. 8
Explanation:
Number of elements in set A n(A) = 3 and number of elements in set B, n(B) = 5
The number of elements in A ∪ B is n(A ∪ B).
Now for elements in A ∪ B to be maximum, there should not be any intersection between both sets that is A and B both sets must
be disjoint sets as shown fig.

Therefore, the number of elements in A ∪ B is n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B)

⇒ n(A ∪ B) = 3 + 5

 ⇒ n(A ∪ B) = 8
Therefore,the maximum number of elements in A ∪ B is 8.
10. 200
Explanation:
Let A & B denote the sets of the persons who like Hindi & English, respectively.
Here,it is given that
n(A) = 750
n(B) = 460
n(A ∪ B) = 950
We know that, n(A ∩ B) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A ∪ B)
⇒ n(A ∩ B) = 750 + 460 - 950 = 260

⇒ n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A ∩ B)

⇒ n (B - A) = 460 - 260 = 200

Therefore, 200 persons can speak only English.

11. 175

g
Explanation:
Let P and Q be the sets of consumers who like product A and product B respectively.

titu chin
Then, n(P) = 745 and n(Q) = 430.
Now, we have .(P ∪ Q) = n(P) + n(Q) - n(P ∩ Q)
⇒ n(P ∪ Q) = 745 + 430 - n(P ∩ Q)
⇒ n(P ∪ Q) = 1175 - n(P ∩ Q ).

Clearly, n(P ∩ Q) is least when n(P ∪ Q) is maximum and therefore, n(P ∪ Q) = 1000.
oa
Therefore, 1000 = 1175 - n(P ∩ Q) ⇒ n(P ∩ Q) = (1175 - 1000) = 175.
Therefore, the least number of consumers liking both the products is 175.

Explanation:
∵ Apply Demorgan's law (B ∪ C)' = B' ∩ C'

Complement of set B containing subsets of A which do not contains 2 but element 1.

ha

And C' is a set containing subsets of A whose sum of elements is not prime.
So, we need to calculate number of subsets of {3, 4, 5, 6, 7} whose sum of elements plus 1 is composite.
Number of 5 elements subset = 1
ins
us

Number of 4 elements subset which does not include 3 or 7 = 3

Number of 3 elements subset = 6 (except selecting {3, 4, 5), {3, 6, 7}, {4, 5, 7} or {5, 6, 7})
Number of 2 elements subset = 7 (except selecting {3, 7}, {4, 6}, {5, 7})
Ka

Number of 1 elements subset = 3 (except selecting {4} or {6})

Number of 0 elements subset = 1
Here, n(B' ∩ C') = 1 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 3 + 1 = 21
Therefore, n(B ∪ C) = 27 - 21 = 107
13. 29
Explanation:
From the given conditions,
n(A) = 25, n(B) = 7 and n(A ∩ 5) = 3
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B) = 25 + 7 - 3 = 29
14. 112
Explanation:
Given sets are A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} and B = {3, 6, 7, 9}
Total subset of A = 27 = 128
Here, C ∩ B = ϕ when set C contains the element 1, 2, 4, 5.
Therefore, S = {C ⊆ A; C ∩ B ≠ ϕ}
Total number of elements = Total - (C ∩ B = ϕ)
= 128 - 24 = 112

(d) at least two real roots
Explanation: ac ≠ 0
⇒ ac < 0 or ac > 0

If ac < 0 then b2 - 4ac > 0

⇒ P(x) = 0 has two real and distinct roots.

If ac > 0 then d2 + 4ac > 0

⇒ Q(x) = 0 has two real and distinct roots.

P(x) Q(x) = 0 has four roots, two of them are roots of P(x) = 0 and other two are of Q(x) = 0.
⇒ P(x) Q(x) = 0 surely cannot have all non-real roots.i.e., P(x) Q(x) = 0 has at least two real roots.

But Δ < 0 for 4x2 + 15x + 20,
⇒ 4x2 + 15x + 20 is always positive for all x.
Thus, no real value of x will give
(x + 2)4 + 4x2 +15x + 20 = 0

23. (a) |z + 1| > 2, | arg(z + 1)| < π

Explanation: Since, |PQ| = |PS| = |PR| = 2

∴ Shaded part represents the external part of circle having centre (-1,0) and radius 2.

As we know equation of circle having centre z0 and radius r, is | z - z0| = r

∴ z - (-1 + 0 i) > 2
⇒ |z + 1| > 2

Also, argument of z + 1 with respect to positive direction of A-axis is π /4.

∴ arg (z + 1) ≤ ...(ii)
π

and argument of z + 1 in anticlockwise direction is - π /4.

∴ -π /4 < arg (z + 1) .. .(ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii),

| arg (z + 1) | ≤ π /4

Hence, the maximum value of f(x) is a when (x - 1)2 = 0 or x = 1
Ka

g(x) = x2 - 2ax + 10 - 2a
= (x - a)2 + 10 - 2a - a2
Hence, the minimum value of g(x) is 10 - 2a - a2 when (x - a)2 = 0 or x = a.
Now, given that maximum of f(x) is smaller than the minimum of g(x)
a < -a2 + 10 - 2a
a2 + 3a - 10 < 0
(a + 5)(a - 2) < 0
The largest natural number a = 1
