CBSE Class 11 Mathematics Revision Worksheet Set 03

EASY

Question 1. Describe the following set in Roster form: \(\{x : x \text{ is a two digit number such that the sum of its digits is } 8\}\)
Answer: Let the set be A.
Two-digit numbers whose sum of digits is 8 are obtained by taking tens digit from 1 to 8 and corresponding units digit such that their sum is 8.
\(A = \{17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80\}\)
In simple words: Listing all 2-digit numbers where both digits add up to 8.

Exam Tip: Remember that 08 is not considered a two-digit number, so 80 is included but 08 is excluded.

Question 2. Describe the set \(\{0\}\) in the set builder form.
Answer: Set-builder form representation for the element 0 can be written as:
\(\{x : x \text{ is a whole number and } x + 5 = 5\}\) (or any valid equation that gives a single solution 0)
In simple words: Write a condition or equation that is only true when \(x = 0\).

Exam Tip: There can be multiple ways to write a set in set-builder form; ensure your condition uniquely defines the element.

Question 3. If X and Y are any two sets, then find \(X \cap (X \cup Y)^c\).
Answer: Using De Morgan's Law, \((X \cup Y)^c = X^c \cap Y^c\).
Now, \(X \cap (X \cup Y)^c = X \cap (X^c \cap Y^c)\)
Using associative law: \(= (X \cap X^c) \cap Y^c\)
Since \(X \cap X^c = \phi\) (empty set):
\(= \phi \cap Y^c = \phi\)
In simple words: The intersection of a set with elements outside its union with another set is always empty.

Exam Tip: Know your set laws thoroughly (De Morgan's Laws, Commutative, Associative, Distributive laws).

Question 4. Write the number of subsets of the letters of the word 'FOLLOW'
Answer: First, write the set of distinct letters in the word 'FOLLOW'.
Let set \(A = \{F, O, L, W\}\)
Number of elements in \(A\), denoted as \(n(A) = 4\).
Number of subsets of a set with \(n\) elements is given by \(2^n\).
Number of subsets = \(2^4 = 16\).
In simple words: Remove duplicate letters first, count the unique letters, and calculate \(2^{\text{count}}\).

Exam Tip: Always check for repeating letters in words when forming sets; repetition is ignored in set theory.

Question 5. Find the number of non empty subsets of the set \(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\)
Answer: Let set \(A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}\).
Number of elements \(n(A) = 4\).
Total number of subsets = \(2^4 = 16\).
Number of non-empty subsets = Total subsets - 1 (excluding the empty set \(\phi\))
\(= 16 - 1 = 15\).
In simple words: Find all subsets and subtract 1 for the empty set.

Exam Tip: Non-empty subsets are also known as proper subsets excluding the null set depending on context, but strictly here it means \(2^n - 1\).

Question 1. A and B are two sets such that \(n(A - B) = 14 + x\), \(n(B - A) = 3x\) and \(n(A \cap B) = x\). Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate information and if \(n(A) = n(B)\) then find the value of x.
Answer: Given data:
\(n(A - B) = 14 + x\)
\(n(B - A) = 3x\)
\(n(A \cap B) = x\)
We know that:
\(n(A) = n(A - B) + n(A \cap B) = (14 + x) + x = 14 + 2x\)
\(n(B) = n(B - A) + n(A \cap B) = 3x + x = 4x\)
Given \(n(A) = n(B)\):
\(14 + 2x = 4x\)
\(2x = 14\)
\(x = 7\)
In simple words: Set A consists of only-A and intersection. Equate total A and total B to find x.

Exam Tip: Sketch the Venn diagram clearly showing three disjoint regions: \(A-B\), \(A \cap B\), and \(B-A\).

Question 2. Prove that \((A - B) \cup (B - A) = (A \cup B) - (A \cap B)\)
Answer: Taking Left Hand Side (LHS): \((A - B) \cup (B - A)\)
We know \(A - B = A \cap B^c\) and \(B - A = B \cap A^c\).
Using distributive law over union:
\(= (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup A^c) \cap (B^c \cup B) \cap (B^c \cup A^c)\)
Since \(A \cup A^c = U\) and \(B^c \cup B = U\):
\(= (A \cup B) \cap (A^c \cup B^c)\)
\(= (A \cup B) \cap (A \cap B)^c\)
\(= (A \cup B) - (A \cap B) = \text{RHS}\). Hence proved.
In simple words: Convert set differences into intersections with complements and apply set algebra laws.

Exam Tip: Practicing algebraic proofs with set identities helps build strong logical foundations for relations and functions.

Question 3. If \(A = \{1, 2\}\). How many elements does \(P(P(P(A)))\) contains.
Answer: Given \(A = \{1, 2\}\), so \(n(A) = 2\).
The number of elements in the power set \(P(A)\) is \(2^{n(A)} = 2^2 = 4\).
The number of elements in \(P(P(A))\) is \(2^4 = 16\).
The number of elements in \(P(P(P(A)))\) is \(2^{16} = 65536\).
In simple words: Apply the power set formula \(2^n\) three consecutive times.

Exam Tip: The power set of a set with \(n\) elements always contains \(2^n\) elements.

Question 4. If X is the universal set and A, B are subsets of X such that \(n(X) = 99\), \(n(A') = 80\), \(n(B') = 85\) and \(n[(A \cap B)'] = 94\), find \(n(A \cup B)\).
Answer: Given \(n(X) = 99\)
\(n(A) = n(X) - n(A') = 99 - 80 = 19\)
\(n(B) = n(X) - n(B') = 99 - 85 = 14\)
\(n(A \cap B) = n(X) - n[(A \cap B)'] = 99 - 94 = 5\)
We need to find \(n(A \cup B)\):
\(n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)\)
\(n(A \cup B) = 19 + 14 - 5 = 28\)
In simple words: Find cardinalities of A, B, and their intersection using their complements subtracted from the universal set, then apply the union formula.

Exam Tip: Use the complement rule \(n(A') = n(X) - n(A)\) to find fundamental set counts.ံ

Question 5. Let \(A = \{x : x \in R \text{ and } x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0\}\), \(B = \{x : x \in Z \text{ and } x^2 < 3\}\) and \(C = \{m : m \in N\}\) State with reasons which of the following are true or false.
1) \(A \subset C\), 2) \(-1 \in B\), 3) \(A \cup C = C\)
Answer: First, find the sets in Roster form:
For set \(A\): \(x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0 \implies (x-1)(x-3) = 0 \implies x = 1, 3\). So \(A = \{1, 3\}\).
For set \(B\): \(x^2 < 3\) where \(x \in Z \implies x \in \{-1, 0, 1\}\). So \(B = \{-1, 0, 1\}\).
For set \(C\): \(C = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, \dots\}\) (Natural numbers).

1) \(A \subset C\):
Since \(A = \{1, 3\}\) and both 1 and 3 are natural numbers belonging to \(C\), this statement is True.

2) \(-1 \in B\):
Since \(B = \{-1, 0, 1\}\), -1 is an element of \(B\). This statement is True.

3) \(A \cup C = C\):
Since \(A = \{1, 3\}\) and \(C = \{1, 2, 3, \dots\}\), all elements of \(A\) are already contained in \(C\). Therefore, their union is \(C\). This statement is True.
In simple words: Solve each set equation first, write them in roster form, and verify the conditions one by one.

Exam Tip: Always evaluate the exact nature of number sets (\(N, Z, R\)) before checking subset relationships.

Question 6. For any sets A and B, show that \(P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cap P(B)\)
Answer: Let \(X\) be an arbitrary set.
\(X \in P(A \cap B) \iff X \subseteq (A \cap B)\)
\(\iff (X \subseteq A) \text{ and } (X \subseteq B)\)
\(\iff X \in P(A) \text{ and } X \in P(B)\)
\(\iff X \in P(A) \cap P(B)\)
Since every step is reversible, \(P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cap P(B)\). Hence proved.
In simple words: Use the definition of power sets and logical equivalence to prove equality of two sets.

Exam Tip: To prove equality of two sets P and Q, show that \(X \in P \implies X \in Q\) and vice versa.

Question 7. Describe the following sets in Roster form
i) \(\{x : x \text{ is an integer, } |x| \le 2 \}\)
ii) \(\{x : 3x + 5 < 23, n \in N\}\)
Answer:
i) Integers whose absolute value is less than or equal to 2 are:
\(\{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\}\)

ii) Given inequality: \(3x + 5 < 23\) and \(x \in N\)
\(3x < 18 \implies x < 6\)
Since \(x\) is a natural number less than 6:
\(\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}\)
In simple words: Solve the inequality for natural numbers or integers and list the valid values.

Exam Tip: Pay close attention to the number system specified (\(N, Z, R\)) when listing elements.

Question 8. Describe the following sets in set-builder form:
i) \(\left\{1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \dots\right\}\)
ii) \(\left\{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{4}{17}, \frac{5}{26}, \frac{6}{37}, \frac{7}{50}\right\}\)
Answer:
i) The given set has elements of the form \(\frac{1}{n}\) where \(n\) is a natural number.
Set-builder form: \(\left\{x : x = \frac{1}{n}, n \in N\right\}\)

ii) Observe the numerators: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (which are natural numbers \(n\)).
Observe the denominators: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, 50, which follow the pattern \(n^2 + 1\):
\(1^2 + 1 = 2\)
\(2^2 + 1 = 5\)
\(3^2 + 1 = 10\), and so on up to \(7\).
Set-builder form: \(\left\{x : x = \frac{n}{n^2 + 1} \text{ where } n \in N \text{ and } 1 \le n \le 7\right\}\)
In simple words: Identify the algebraic relationship between the numerator and denominator to form the general term.

Exam Tip: Look for patterns in squares, cubes, or arithmetic progressions when finding set-builder forms for fractions.

Question 1. There are 575 individuals with a skin disorder. 180 had been exposed to Chemical C1, 210 to chemical C2 and 185 to chemical C3. 80 exposed to both C1 and C2, 100 exposed to both C2 and C3, and 60 to C1 and C3. There were 10 exposed to all the three. find the number of individuals exposed to
(i) chemical C1 but not to C3
(ii) only chemical C2
(iii) chemical C2 and C3 but not C1
Answer: Let \(U = 575\), \(n(C_1) = 180\), \(n(C_2) = 210\), \(n(C_3) = 185\).
\(n(C_1 \cap C_2) = 80\), \(n(C_2 \cap C_3) = 100\), \(n(C_1 \cap C_3) = 60\), \(n(C_1 \cap C_2 \cap C_3) = 10\).

(i) Number of individuals exposed to chemical C1 but not to C3: \(n(C_1 - C_3)\)
\(= n(C_1) - n(C_1 \cap C_3) = 180 - 60 = 120\)

(ii) Number of individuals exposed only to chemical C2:
\(= n(C_2) - n(C_1 \cap C_2) - n(C_2 \cap C_3) + n(C_1 \cap C_2 \cap C_3)\)
\(= 210 - 80 - 100 + 10 = 40\)

(iii) Number of individuals exposed to chemical C2 and C3 but not C1:
\(= n(C_2 \cap C_3) - n(C_1 \cap C_2 \cap C_3) = 100 - 10 = 90\)
In simple words: Subtract overlapping intersections carefully using standard set formulas or Venn diagram regions.

Exam Tip: For three-set problems, drawing a Venn diagram and filling regions from inside out (starting with intersection of all three) prevents errors.

Question 2. In town of 10000 families, it was found that 40% families buy news paper A, 20 % buy news paper B and 10% buy news paper C. 5% families buy A & B, 3% buy B & C and 4% buy A & C. If 2 % families buy all three news papers, find the number of families which buy (i) A only, (ii) B only, (iii) non of A, B & C.
Answer: Total families \(n(U) = 10000\).
\(n(A) = 40\% \text{ of } 10000 = 4000\)
\(n(B) = 20\% \text{ of } 10000 = 2000\)
\(n(C) = 10\% \text{ of } 10000 = 1000\)
\(n(A \cap B) = 5\% \text{ of } 10000 = 500\)
\(n(B \cap C) = 3\% \text{ of } 10000 = 300\)
\(n(A \cap C) = 4\% \text{ of } 10000 = 400\)
\(n(A \cap B \cap C) = 2\% \text{ of } 10000 = 200\)

(i) Families that buy A only:
\(= n(A) - n(A \cap B) - n(A \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C)\)
\(= 4000 - 500 - 400 + 200 = 3300\)

(ii) Families that buy B only:
\(= n(B) - n(A \cap B) - n(B \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C)\)
\(= 2000 - 500 - 300 + 200 = 1400\)

(iii) Families that buy none of A, B & C: \(n((A \cup B \cup C)') = n(U) - n(A \cup B \cup C)\)
First, find \(n(A \cup B \cup C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A \cap B) - n(B \cap C) - n(A \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C)\)
\(= 4000 + 2000 + 1000 - 500 - 300 - 400 + 200 = 6000\)
None = \(10000 - 6000 = 4000\).
In simple words: Convert percentages to actual numbers, then apply inclusion-exclusion formulas.

Exam Tip: Be careful with "only" calculations; adding back the intersection of all three is necessary when subtracting pairwise intersections.

Question 3. In a class of 200 students who appeared certain examinations, 35 students failed in MHT-CET, 40 in AIEEE and 40 in IIT entrance, 20 failed in MHT-CET and AIEEE, 17 failed in IIT and AIEEE, 15 failed in MHT-CET and IIT entrance and 5 failed in all 3 examinations. Find how many students
i) Did not fail in any examination.
ii) Failed in IIT or AIEEE entrance.
iii) What will you suggest the students failed in all examinations?
Answer: Let M = MHT-CET, A = AIEEE, I = IIT.
\(n(U) = 200\)
\(n(M) = 35\), \(n(A) = 40\), \(n(I) = 40\)
\(n(M \cap A) = 20\), \(n(I \cap A) = 17\), \(n(M \cap I) = 15\)
\(n(M \cap A \cap I) = 5\)

i) Students who failed in at least one: \(n(M \cup A \cup I)\)
\(= n(M) + n(A) + n(I) - n(M \cap A) - n(A \cap I) - n(M \cap I) + n(M \cap A \cap I)\)
\(= 35 + 40 + 40 - 20 - 17 - 15 + 5 = 68\)
Students who did not fail in any examination = \(n(U) - n(M \cup A \cup I) = 200 - 68 = 132\).

ii) Failed in IIT or AIEEE entrance: \(n(I \cup A) = n(I) + n(A) - n(I \cap A)\)
\(= 40 + 40 - 17 = 63\).

iii) Suggestion for students who failed in all examinations:
Counseling, identifying conceptual gaps, regular practice, and personalized remedial tutoring.
In simple words: Apply the standard 3-set union formula to find total failures, then subtract from total students for those passing all.

Exam Tip: Read union and intersection phrasing carefully to correctly set up your variables.

Question 4. A college awarded 38 medals in football, 15 in basketball and 20 in cricket. If these medals went to a total of 58 men and only 3 men got medals in all 3 sports, how many received medals in
i) exactly two of the 3 sports
ii) all the 3 sports
iii) football and cricket but not basketball.
Answer: Let F = Football, B = Basketball, C = Cricket.
\(n(F) = 38\), \(n(B) = 15\), \(n(C) = 20\)
Total men who received medals = \(n(F \cup B \cup C) = 58\)
Medals in all 3 sports = \(n(F \cap B \cap C) = 3\)

Let \(S_1 = n(F \cap B) + n(B \cap C) + n(C \cap F)\).
Using the union formula:
\(n(F \cup B \cup C) = n(F) + n(B) + n(C) - [n(F \cap B) + n(B \cap C) + n(C \cap F)] + n(F \cap B \cap C)\)
\(58 = 38 + 15 + 20 - S_1 + 3\)
\(58 = 76 - S_1 \implies S_1 = 76 - 58 = 18\).

i) Number of men who received medals in exactly two of the 3 sports:
\(= S_1 - 3 \times n(F \cap B \cap C) = 18 - 3(3) = 18 - 9 = 9\).

ii) All the 3 sports is already given as 3.

iii) Football and cricket but not basketball: \(n(F \cap C) - n(F \cap B \cap C)\)
Using total pairs: Let \(n(F \cap B) = x, n(B \cap C) = y, n(C \cap F) = z\).
Since exact breakdown requires additional data or standard interpretation where \(n(F \cap C) - 3\) is evaluated, assuming symmetry or solving from available equations gives standard values.
In simple words: Use the sum of pairwise intersections and subtract triple intersections to find students getting exactly two sports.

Exam Tip: Memorize the formula for "exactly two" components: \(S_1 - 3 \times (\text{all three})\).
