Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine the number of elements in each region R1R_1 through R5R_5, using the given information about sets AA, BB, and CC in a universal set UU. These sets are likely overlapping, and we can visualize this using a Venn diagram.

Given dataTo solve this problem, we need to determine the number of elements in each region R1R_1 through R5R_5, using the given information about sets AA, BB, and CC in a universal set UU. These sets are likely overlapping, and we can visualize this using a Venn diagram.

Given

  • n(A)=29n(A) = 29 (Number of elements in set AA)
  • n(B)=34n(B) = 34 (Number of elements in set BB)
  • n(C)=39n(C) = 39 (Number of elements in set CC)
  • n(AB)=14n(A \cap B) = 14 (Number of elements common to both AA and BB)
  • n(U)=82n(U) = 82 (Total number of elements in the universal set)

We also define the regions in a typical three-set Venn diagram as follows:

  • R1R_1: Elements in set AA only (not in BB or CC)
  • R2R_2: Elements in set BB only (not in AA or CC)
  • R3R_3: Elements in set CC only (not in AA or BB)
  • R4R_4: Elements in both AA and BB (but not in CC)
  • R5R_5: Elements in neither AA, BB, nor CC (complement of ABCA \cup B \cup C)

Step-by-step process:

  1. Finding R4R_4:

    • R4R_4 is the intersection of AA and BB, but not CC. We are given n(AB)=14n(A \cap B) = 14, so R4=14R_4 = 14.
  2. Finding R1R_1 and R2R_2:

    • From n(A)=29n(A) = 29 and n(B)=34n(B) = 34, and knowing that R4=14R_4 = 14 (common elements), we subtract these from the total elements of AA and BB.

    • n(R1)=n(A)n(AB)=2914=15n(R_1) = n(A) - n(A \cap B) = 29 - 14 = 15.

    • n(R2)=n(B)n(AB)=3414=20n(R_2) = n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 34 - 14 = 20.

  3. Finding R3R_3:

    • R3R_3 is the part of CC only, and since we don't have specific information about the intersection with AA or BB, we assume R3R_3 remains at n(C)=39n(C) = 39.
  4. Finding R5R_5:

    • R5R_5 is the part of the universal set that is not in AA, BB, or CC.
    • Total elements in ABCA \cup B \cup C = n(A)+n(B)+n(C)n(AB)n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A \cap B).
      • =29+34+3914=88= 29 + 34 + 39 - 14 = 88.
    • Since n(U)=82n(U) = 82, the number of elements in R5=n(U)n(ABC)=8288R_5 = n(U) - n(A \cup B \cup C) = 82 - 88.
