QUESTION 1
C) In
a survey, 100 students are asked if they like basketball (B), football (F) and
swimming(S). The Venn diagram shows the results.
42 students like swimming, 40 students like exactly one sport. Find the values of p, q, and r.
QUESTION 2
a) Let A = {x, y, z}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, and C = {a, b, c}. Let R be the following relation
from A to B: R = {(x, 1), (x, 2), (y, 2), (y, 3), (z, 3)}, and S be the following relation
from B to C: S = {(1, a), (2, a), (2, b), (3, b), (4, b), (4, c)}. Compute the composition
of R and S. [4]
b) Give three different equivalence relations on the set {a, b, c, d}. [6]
c) Consumer Surveys. In a survey of 180 customers conducted in a shopping mall, 100
