Subjective Questions
1) In a group of 400 people in USA, 250 can speak Spanish and 200 can speak English.
How many people can speak both Spanish and English?
Solution
Let S be the set of people who speak Spanish, and
E be the set of people who speak English
∴ n(S ∪ E) = 400, n(S) = 250, n(E) = 200
n(S ∩ E) = ?

We know that:
n(S ∪ E) = n(S) + n(E) – n(S ∩ E)
∴ 400 = 250 + 200 – n(S ∩ E)
⇒ 400 = 450 – n(S ∩ E)
⇒ n(S ∩ E) = 450 – 400
∴ n(S ∩ E) = 50
Thus, 50 people can speak both Spanish and English.
2) If P and Q are two sets such that P has 40 elements, P ∪Q has 60 elements and P
∩Q has 10 elements, how many elements does Y have?
Solution
It is given that:
n(P) = 40, n(P ∪ Q) = 60, n(P ∩ Q) = 10
We know that:
n(P ∪ Q) = n(P) + n(Q) – n(P ∩ Q)
∴ 60 = 40 + n(Q) – 10
∴ n(Q) = 60 – (40 – 10) = 30
Thus, the set Q has 30 elements.
Solutions
a) 142
b) 130
c) 12
d) 220
e) 208
f) 779
g) 738
h) 373
