SETS 5


If n(A)= 55 , n(B)= 90 and n(AuB)= 136, find n(AnB).

Solution

n(AuB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AnB)

136 = 55 + 90 - n(AnB)

136 = 145 - n(AnB)

136 - 145 = - n(AnB)

-9 = -n(AnB)

n(AnB) = 9 [after dividing by -1 both sides]

Hence n(AnB) = 9 answer


TRY THIS………….



If n(A)= 89 , n(B)= 92 and n(AuB)= 137, find n(AnB).

  1. Sets is a very interesting topic in mathematics. It is normally covered in Form II, although a form IV student can find it as a revision for NECTA preparations. ore examples on this topic have been posted and more newer examples will be added as well. Hope you enjoy.
