Exercise 5.1 · Q20

Q.If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and universal set X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, then verify: n(B) = n(A'∩B) + n(A∩B).

A′=X−A={5,6,7,8,9,10}A' = X-A = \{5,6,7,8,9,10\}, so A′∩B={5,6,7,8,9,10}∩{3,4,5,6}={5,6}A'\cap B = \{5,6,7,8,9,10\}\cap\{3,4,5,6\} = \{5,6\}, giving n(A′∩B)=2n(A'\cap B) = 2. Also A∩B={3,4}A\cap B = \{3,4\}, so n(A∩B)=2n(A\cap B) = 2. Sum: n(A′∩B)+n(A∩B)=2+2=4n(A'\cap B)+n(A\cap B) = 2+2 = 4. Directly, n(B)=n({3,4,5,6})=4n(B) = n(\{3,4,5,6\}) = 4. Both equal 4, verifying the identity (the printed statement omits the 'n(' b …
