Let U = {English, French, History, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, Drama},
A = {Physics, French, Psychology, History},

B = {Math, Drama, Chemistry, Psychology, History},
and
C = {English, French, Chemistry}.
Find the following.
n(B ∪ C)

To find \( n(B \cup C) \), we need to determine the number of unique elements in the union of sets \( B \) and \( C \).

Given the sets:
- \( B = \{ \text{Math, Drama, Chemistry, Psychology, History} \} \)
- \( C = \{ \text{English, French, Chemistry} \} \)

First, let's list all the unique elements in \( B \cup C \):
- Math
- Drama
- Chemistry (appears in both B and C, but we count it only once)
- Psychology
- History
- English
- French

So, the union of sets \( B \) and \( C \) is:
\[ B \cup C = \{ \text{Math, Drama, Chemistry, Psychology, History, English, French} \} \]

Next, we count the number of elements in this union:
\[ n(B \cup C) = 7 \]

Thus, the number of elements in \( B \cup C \) is \( \boxed{7} \).
