B = {x : x is positive even integer and x≤ 10}
(iv) A = {x: x isa multiple of 10}
B = {10, 15, 20, 25, 30,…}
Solution.
(i) A = {a, b, c, d} and B = {d, c, b, a} are equal sets because order of elements does not changes a set.
∴ A = B = [a, b, c, d}.

(ii) A = {4, 8, 12, 16} and B = {8, 4, 16, 18} are not equal sets because 12 ∈ A but 12 ∉ B and 18 ∉ B but 18 ∉ A.

(iii) A = {2, 4, 6, 8,10} and B = {x: x is a positive even integer and x ≤ 10) which can be written in roster form as B = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) are equal sets.
∴ A = B = {2, 4, 6, 8,10).

(iv) A = {x: x is a multiple of 10) can be written in roster form as A = {10, 20, 30, 40,…….. } and
B – {10, 15, 20, 25, 30, ………..} are not equal sets because 15 ∈ B but 15 ∉ A.

Class 11 Maths Question 10
Are the following pair of sets equal ? Give reasons.
(i) A = {2, 3}, B={x: x is solution of x2 + 5x + 6 = 0}
(ii) A = {x: x is a letter in the word FOLLOW}
B = {y: y is a letter in the word WOLF}
Solution.
(i) A = (2, 3} and B = {x: x is a solution of x2 + 5x + 6 = 0}
Now, x2 + 5x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = 0 ⇒ (x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = -3, -2
∴ B = {-2, -3}
Hence, A and B are not equal sets.

(ii) A = {x : x is a letter in the word FOLLOW} = {F, O, L, W}
B = {y: y is a letter in the word WOLF}
= {W, O, L, F}
Hence, A = B = {F, O, L, W}.

Class 11 Maths Question 11
From the sets given below, select equal sets:
A = {2, 4, 8, 12),
B = {1, 2, 3, 4},

Class 11 Maths Question 35
If X and Y are two sets such that n(X) = 17, n(Y) = 23 and n (X ∪ Y) = 38, find n(X ∩ Y).
Solution.
Here n(X) = 17, n(Y) = 23 and n(X ∪ Y) = 38
We know that
n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) -n(X ∩ Y)
⇒ 38 = 17 + 23 – n(X ∩ Y)
∴ n(X ∩ Y) = 40 – 38 = 2.
Class 11 Maths Question 36
If X and Y are two sets such that X ∪ Y has 18 elements, X has 8 elements and Y has 15 elements; how many elements does X ∩ Y have?
Solution.
Here n(X ∪ Y) = 18. n(X) = 8 and n(Y) = 15
We know that
n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n(X ∩ Y)
⇒ 18 = 8 +15 – n(X ∩ Y)
∴ n(X ∩ Y) = 23-18 = 5.
Class 11 Maths Question 37
In a group of 400 people, 250 can speak Hindi and 200 can speak English. How many people can speak both Hindi and English?
Solution.
Let H be the set of people speaking Hindi and E be the set of people speaking English.
∴ n(H) = 250, n(E) = 200 and n(H ∪ E) = 400,
We know that
n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)
400 = 250 + 200 – n(H ∩ E)
∴ n(H ∩ E) = 450 – 400 = 50.
Class 11 Maths Question 38
If 5 and Tare two sets such that 5 has 21 elements, T has 32 elements, and S ∩T has 11 elements, how many elements does S ∪ T have?
Solution.
Here n(S) = 21, n(T) = 32 and n(S ∩T) = 11
We know that
n(S ∪ T) = n(S) + n(T) – n(S ∩ T) n(S ∪ T)
= 21 + 32 – 11 = 42.
Class 11 Maths Question 39
If X and Y are two sets such that X has 40 elements, X ∪ Y has 60 elements, and X ∩ Y has 10 elements, how many elements does X have?
Solution.
Here n{X) = 40, n(X ∪ Y) = 60 and n(X ∩ Y) = 10
We know that
n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n(X ∩ Y)
⇒ 60 = 40 + n(Y) – 10
∴ n(Y) = 60 – 30 = 30.

In a group of 70 people, 37 like coffee, 52 like tea and each person likes at least one of the two drinks. How many people like both coffee and tea?
Solution.
Let C be the set of persons who like coffee and T be the set of persons who like tea.
∴ n(C) = 37, n(T) = 52 and n(C ∪ T) = 70
We know that
n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ 70 = 37 + 52 – n(C ∩ T)
∴ n(C ∩ T) = 89 – 70 = 19.
Class 11 Maths Question 41
In a group of 65 people, 40 like cricket, 10 like both cricket and tennis. How many like tennis only and not cricket? How many like tennis?
Solution.
Let C be the set of people who like cricket and T be the set of people who like tennis. Here n(Q) = 40, n(C ∩ T) = 10 and n(C ∪ T) = 65 .
We know that
n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – n(C ∩ T)
⇒ 65 = 40 + n(T) -10
⇒ n{T} = 65 – 30 = 35
∴ Number of people who like tennis = 35 j Now number of people who like tennis only and not cricket
=n(T – C) = n(T) – n(C ∩ T) = 35 – 10 = 25.
CClass 11 Maths Question 42
In a committee, 50 people speak French, 20 f speak Spanish and 10 speak both Spanish and
French. How many speak at least one of these two languages?
Solution.
Let F be the set of people who speak French and S be the set of people who speak Spanish.
Here n(F) = 50, n(S) = 20 and n(F ∩ S) = 10
We know that
n(F ∪ S) = n(F) + n(S) – n(F ∩ S)
n(F ∪ S) = 50 + 20 -10 = 60
∴ Number of people who speak at least one of these two languages = 60
