Solution

The image contains 14 questions on set theory, combinatorics, and probability. Here are the solutions with explanations for each question:

Solutions:

  1. Q1. Write the roster form of H={xxN and 5<x2<50}H = \{ x | x \in \mathbb{N} \text{ and } 5 < x^2 < 50 \}.

    • Find integers xx such that 5<x2<505 < x^2 < 50:
      • Possible values of xx: x=3,4,5,3,4,5x = 3, 4, 5, -3, -4, -5
      • So, H={3,4,5,3,4,5}H = \{3, 4, 5, -3, -4, -5\}.
  2. Q2. Give an example of two sets whose intersection is an empty set.

    • Example: A={1,2}A = \{1, 2\} and B={3,4}B = \{3, 4\}.
    • AB=A \cap B = \emptyset.
  3. Q3. How many subsets a set has containing 5 elements.

    • A set with nn elements has 2n2^n subsets.
    • If n=5n = 5: total subsets =25=32= 2^5 = 32.
  4. Q4. Write the set {1,12,13,14,}\{1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \dots \} in set builder form.

    • Answer: S={1n    nN}S = \left\{ \frac{1}{n} \;|\; n \in \mathbb{N} \right\}.
  5. Q5. Define power set.

    • The power set of a set AA is the set of all subsets of AA, including AA itself and the empty set.
  6. Q6. Write all the subsets of the set {1,2}\{1, 2\}.

    • Subsets of {1,2}\{1, 2\}: {},{1},{2},{1,2}\{\}, \{1\}, \{2\}, \{1, 2\}.
  7. Q7. Find sets A,B,CA, B, C such that AB,BC,ACA \cap B, B \cap C, A \cap C are non-empty sets, and ABC=A \cap B \cap C = \emptyset.

    • Example: A={1,2}A = \{1, 2\}, B={2,3}B = \{2, 3\}, C={1,3}C = \{1, 3\}.
  8. Q8. Two finite sets having mm and kk elements. If the total number of subsets of the first set is 56 more than the total number of subsets of the second set, find mm and kk.

    • 2m=2k+562^m = 2^k + 56.
    • Solve for integers mm and kk.
  9. Q9. For all sets A,B,CA, B, C, is A(BC)=(AB)(AC)A \cup (B \cap C) = (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C)? Justify your answer.

    • Yes, by distributive laws.
  10. Q10. If U={1,2,3,,10}U = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 10\}, A={x    x is prime}A = \{x \;|\; x \text{ is prime}\}, B={x    x is even integer}B = \{x \;|\; x \text{ is even integer}\}, find ABcA \cup B^c.

  11. Q11. AA and BB are two sets such that n(AB)=14+xn(A - B) = 14 + x, n(BA)=3xn(B - A) = 3x, and n(AB)=xn(A \cap B) = x.
