Exercise $1.2$
Question 1.
Find the number of subsets and number of proper subsets of a set $X=\{a, b, c, x, y, z\}$ -
Solution:
Given $X=\{a, b, c, x, y, z\}$.
Then, $\mathrm{n}(X)=6$
The number of subsets $=n[P(X)]=2^{6}=64$
The number of proper subsets $=n[P(X)]-1=2^{6}-1=64-1=63$
 

Question 2.
Find the cardinal number of the following sets.
(i) $\mathrm{A}=\{\mathrm{x}: \mathrm{x}$ is a prime factor of 12$\}$.
(ii) $\mathrm{B}=\{\mathrm{x}: \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{W}, \mathrm{x} \leq 5\}$
(iii) $\mathrm{X}=\{\mathrm{x}$ : $\mathrm{x}$ is an even prime number $\}$
Solution:
(i) Factors of 12 are $1,2,3,4,6,12$. So, the prime factors of 12 are 2,3 .
We write the set $A$ in roster forn as $A=\{2,3\}$ and hence $n(A)=2$.
(ii) In Tabular form $\mathrm{B}=\{0,1,2,3,4,5\}$
The set $B$ has six elements and hence $n(B)=6$
(iii) $\mathrm{X}=\{2\}$; [2 is the only even prime number]
$\therefore \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{X})=1$
 

Question 3.
State whether the following sets are finite or infinite.
(i) $A=\{x: x$ is a multiple of $5, x \in N\}$.
(ii) $\mathrm{B}=\{0,1,2,3,4,75\}$.
(iii) The set of all positive integers greater than 50 .
Solution:
(i) $\mathrm{A}=\{5,10,15,20, \ldots \ldots\} \therefore \mathrm{A}$ is an infinite set
(ii) Finite
(iii) Let $\mathrm{X}$ be the set of all positive integers greater than 50
Then $\mathrm{X}=(51,52,53, \ldots \ldots)$
$\therefore X$ is an infinite set.

Question $4 .$

(ii) $\mathrm{A}=(4,8,12,16\}, \mathrm{B}=(8,4,16,18\}$
(iii) $X=\{2,4,6,8\}$
$Y=\{x: x$ is a positive even integer and $0 Solution:
(i) Since $A$ and $B$ contain exactly the same elements, $A$ and B are equal sets.
(ii) $A$ and $B$ has different clements.
$\therefore \mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are not equal sets.
(iii) $X=\{2,4,6,8\}, Y=\{2,4,6,8\}$
$\therefore X$ and $Y$ are cqual sets.

First, we find $\mathrm{Q} \cap \mathrm{R}=\{4,6,8,10\}$
Then, $P-(Q \cap R)=\{2,3,5,7,9\} \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots .$ (1)
Next, $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{Q}=\{3,5,7,9\}$
and $P-R=\{2,3,5,7\}$

$A=\{-3,-1,1,3,5,7\}$ and $B=\{1,2,3,4\}$
Law (i) $(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})^{\prime}=\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \cap \mathrm{B}^{\prime}$
Now, $A \cup B=\{-3,-1,1,2,3,4,5,7\}$
$(A \cup B)^{\prime}=\{-2,0,6,8,9\} \ldots \ldots . \ldots . .(1)$
Then, $A^{\prime}=\{-2,0,2,4,6,8,9)$ and
$B^{\prime}=\{-3,-2,-1,0,5,6,7,8,9\}$

$A^{\prime} \cap B^{\prime}=\{-2,0,6,8,9\}$

Now, $\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}=\{1,3\}$
$(A \cap B)^{\prime}=\{-3,-2,-1,0,2,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$
Then, A' $\cup B^{\prime}=\{-3,-2,-1,0,2,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$
From (3) and (4) it is verified that
$(A \cap B)^{\prime}=A^{\prime} \cup B^{\prime}$

$n(A \cap B)=12+17-21=8$

Also, $n(A)=5, n(B)=4, n(C)=4$,
Further, $\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}=\{3,5,6\} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=3$
$\mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C}=\{3,6\} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})=2$
$\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{C}=\{3,5,6\} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{C})=3$
$\mathrm{A} l s 0, \mathrm{~A} \cap \mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C}=\{3,6\} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})=2$
Nown $(A \cup B \cup C)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)-n(A \cap B)-n(B \cap C)-n(A \cap C)+n(A \cap B \cap C)$
