1)  
 The number of subset of the  set {10,11,12} is
 




Answer: 2

 



SOLUTION 1 :
  Hint: [ Number of subsets =  2m = 23 = 8    (Here there are three elements   m = 3)]
 
Ans = 8
 


2)  

 If A = { 3,4,5,6} and B = { 1,2,5,6}, then AUB =





Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Ans = {1,2,3,4,5,6}



3)  
If A = {a, b, c},  B = {e,f,g}  then A∩B =
 




Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Hint: [ A∩B ={ a,b,c,} ∩ {e,f,g} = { } = ɸ]

Ans = É¸



4)  

 If A = { 5,{5,6} 7,} Which of the following is correct





Answer: 3

 

SOLUTION 1 :

{5,6} € A



5)

Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :
 Hint: [{ x : x  is an  even prime number} = {2}, which is finite]
 


6)  
 If A is a proper subset of B, then A∩B =





Answer: 4


SOLUTION 1 :
  Hint: [ A∩B = set of all elements common to both A and B] A
 
Ans = A

(i) For  any  set A, A is a proper  subset of A.
(ii) For any set A, ɸ is a subset of A.
(iii) For any set A, A is a subset of A.
 




Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

 (ii) and (iii)  



8)  

  If A is a proper subset of B, then AUB = 

 




Answer: 4


SOLUTION 1 :
 Hint: [ AUB = set of all elements common to both A and B]
 
Ans = B
 
 


9)  

  The number of elements  of the set { x ; x € Z, x2  = 1 } is 





Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

ans = 2

Hint: [ { x : x € Z,  x2 = 1} = { -1, 1}]



10)  

  If n(X) = m,  n(Y) =n and n(X∩Y) = p then n(XUY) =





Answer: 1
