Solution

Let's go through each part step by step.

(a) Determine 𝑛(𝐴 ∩ 𝐡 ∩ 𝐢):

The intersection of sets 𝐴, 𝐡, and 𝐢, denoted A∩B∩CA \cap B \cap C, consists of elements that are common to all three sets.

  • 𝐴 = {π‘Ž, 𝑐, 𝑑, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘š}
  • 𝐡 = {𝑐, 𝑒, 𝑓, 𝑔, β„Ž}
  • 𝐢 = {π‘Ž, 𝑏, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘˜, π‘š}

Let's find the common elements in all three sets.

  • π‘Ž is in 𝐴, but not in 𝐡 or 𝐢.
  • 𝑐 is in 𝐴 and 𝐡, but not in 𝐢.
  • 𝑑 is only in 𝐴.
  • 𝑒 is in 𝐴, 𝐡, and 𝐢.
  • 𝑔 is in 𝐴, 𝐡, and 𝐢.
  • β„Ž is in 𝐴, 𝐡, and 𝐢.
  • π‘š is in 𝐴 and 𝐢, but not in 𝐡.
  • 𝑓 is only in 𝐡.
  • 𝑏 is only in 𝐢.
  • π‘˜ is only in 𝐢.

The common elements across all three sets are: {𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž}.

Thus, A∩B∩C={𝑒,𝑔,h}A \cap B \cap C = \{𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž\}, and the number of elements in this intersection is: n(A∩B∩C)=3.n(A \cap B \cap C) = 3.

(b) Determine 𝑛(𝐴 ∩ 𝐡):

Now, find the intersection of sets 𝐴 and 𝐡, denoted A∩BA \cap B.

  • 𝐴 = {π‘Ž, 𝑐, 𝑑, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘š}
  • 𝐡 = {𝑐, 𝑒, 𝑓, 𝑔, β„Ž}

The common elements between 𝐴 and 𝐡 are: {𝑐, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž}.

Thus, A∩B={𝑐,𝑒,𝑔,h}A \cap B = \{𝑐, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž\}, and the number of elements in this intersection is: n(A∩B)=4.n(A \cap B) = 4.

(c) Determine 𝑛(𝐴 ∩ 𝐢):

Now, find the intersection of sets 𝐴 and 𝐢, denoted A∩CA \cap C.

  • 𝐴 = {π‘Ž, 𝑐, 𝑑, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘š}
  • 𝐢 = {π‘Ž, 𝑏, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘˜, π‘š}

The common elements between 𝐴 and 𝐢 are: {π‘Ž, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘š}.

Thus, A∩C={π‘Ž,𝑒,𝑔,h,π‘š}A \cap C = \{π‘Ž, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘š\}, and the number of elements in this intersection is: n(A∩C)=5.n(A \cap C) = 5.

(d) Determine 𝑛(𝐡 ∩ 𝐢):

Next, find the intersection of sets 𝐡 and 𝐢, denoted B∩CB \cap C.

  • 𝐡 = {𝑐, 𝑒, 𝑓, 𝑔, β„Ž}
  • 𝐢 = {π‘Ž, 𝑏, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘˜, π‘š}

The common elements between 𝐡 and 𝐢 are: {𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž}.

Thus, B∩C={𝑒,𝑔,h}B \cap C = \{𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž\}, and the number of elements in this intersection is: n(B∩C)=3.n(B \cap C) = 3.

(e) Determine 𝑛(𝐴):

The number of elements in set 𝐴 is simply the number of distinct elements in the set.

  • 𝐴 = {π‘Ž, 𝑐, 𝑑, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘š}

Thus, the number of elements in 𝐴 is: n(A)=7.n(A) = 7.

(f) Determine 𝑛(𝐡):

The number of elements in set 𝐡 is:

  • 𝐡 = {𝑐, 𝑒, 𝑓, 𝑔, β„Ž}

Thus, the number of elements in 𝐡 is: n(B)=5.n(B) = 5.

(g) Determine 𝑛(𝐢):

The number of elements in set 𝐢 is:

  • 𝐢 = {π‘Ž, 𝑏, 𝑒, 𝑔, β„Ž, π‘˜, π‘š}

Thus, the number of elements in 𝐢 is: n(C)=7.n(C) = 7.


Summary of answers:

(a) n(A∩B∩C)=3n(A \cap B \cap C) = 3

(b) n(A∩B)=4n(A \cap B) = 4

(c) n(A∩C)=5n(A \cap C) = 5

(d) n(B∩C)=3n(B \cap C) = 3

(e) n(A)=7n(A) = 7

(f) n(B)=5n(B) = 5

(g) n(C)=7n(C) = 7
