Question 6:
C = set of multiples of 12
Answer:
A = set of multiples of 5 = {5, 10, 15, ...}; B = set of multiples of 7 = {7, 14, 21, ...}; and C = set of multiples of 12 = {12, 24, 36, ...}
The universal set for the sets A, B and C can be set of natural numbers, i.e. N.
Disclaimer: The Universal set for the sets A, B and C can be set of whole numbers, integers, rational number of real numbers and so on.
P = set of integers which are multiples of 4 = {4, 8, 12, ...}; and T = set of all even square numbers = {4, 16, 36, 64, 100, ...}

Question 7:
Let all the students of a class is an Universal set. Let set A be the students who secure 50% or more marks in Maths. Then write the complement of set A.1
Answer:
We have,
U = set of all the students of a class and A = set of the students who secure 50% or more marks in Maths
So, the complement of set A, A' = U A = set of the students who secure less than 50% marks in Maths.

Question 1:
If n (A) = 15, n (AB ) = 29, n (A B) = 7 then n (B) = ?
Answer:
We have,
n (A) = 15, n (AB ) = 29, n (A B) = 7
Since, n (B) = n (AB ) + n (A B) n (A) =
So, n (B) = 21

Question 4:
A survey was conducted to know the hobby of 220 students of class IX. Out of which 130 students informed about their hobby as rock climbing and 180 students informed about their hobby as sky watching. There are 110 students who follow both the hobbies. Then how many students do not have any of the two hobbies ? How many of them follow the hobby of rock climbing only ? How many students follow the hobby of sky watching only ?
Answer:
Let A be the set of students who follow the hobby of rock climbing, and B be the set of students who follow the hobby of sky watching.
We have, n (A) = 130, n (B) = 180, n (A B) = 110, n (U) = 220
Since,
n (A B) = n (A) + n (B) n (A B) = 130 + 180 110 = 200
So, the number of students who do not have any of the two hobbies = n (U) n (A B) = 220 200 = 20
Also, the number of students who follow the hobby of rock climbing only = n (A) n (A B) = 130 110 = 20
And, the number of students who follow the hobby of sky watching only = n (B) n (A B) = 180 110 = 50

Question 1:
(iii) P = {1, 2, ........., 10}, What type of set P is ?
(A) Null set (B) Infinite set (C) Finite set (D) None of these
(vi) Which of the following sets are empty sets ?
(B) set of even prime numbers.
Answer:
M = {1, 3, 5}, N = {2, 4, 6}
MN = = Empty set
(iii) Since, the elements of set P = {1, 2, ..., 10} is finite.
So, set P is a finite set.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
Since, {1, 2, 3} {1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 3, 4} M N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
{2, 5, 6} {1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6} M N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; and
{4, 5, 6} {1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6} M N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Now, P (P M) = P M = M (Since, P M = M; P M)
So, the correct option is (B).
(vi) Since,
the set of intersecting points of parallel lines = {};
the set of even prime numbers= {2};
P = {x | x I, 1 < x < 1} = {0}
So, the correct option is (A).

(iv) If T = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and M = {3, 4, 7, 8} then TM = ?
(C) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8} (D) {3, 4}
Answer:
(A) Since, the colours of the rainbow are well defined such as Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
So, the collection of colours of the rainbow is a set.
(B) Since, the tall trees in the school campus are not well defined.
So, the collection of the tall trees in the school campus is not a set.
(C) Since, the rich people in the village is not well defined.
So, the colection of the rich people in the village is not a set.
(D) Since, the easy examples in the book is not well defined.
So, the collection of easy examples in the book is not a set.
(ii) Since, N W = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...}
So, the correct option is (A).
So, P = {i, n, d, i, a, n} = {i, n, d, a}
So, TM = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}
Hence, the correct option is (C).

In a class, 8 students out of 28 have a dog as their pet animal at home, 6 students have a cat as their pet animal. 10 students have dog and cat both, then how many students do not have a dog or cat as their pet animal at home ?
Answer:
We have,
Total number of students = 28;
Students have a dog as their pet = 8;
Students have a cat as their pet = 6; and
Students have cat and dog both = 10
Solving using venn diagram, we get:
So, the number of students that do not have a dog or a cat as their pet is 4.
