Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1 and 3 only Concept: Let U be the universal set and A, B, C be the subsets of U. If \(\rm A∩ B ∩ C = \phi\) then A, B, C are mutually exclusive.
Çalculations: Given, U = {1, 2, 3, ...., 20}. Let A, B, C be the subsets of U. A be the set of all numbers which are perfect squares ⇒ A = {1, 4, 9 16} B be the set of all numbers which are multiples of 5 ⇒ B = {5, 10, 15, 20} and C be the set of all numbers, which are divisible by 2 and 3 ⇒ C = {6, 12, 18} Now, \(\rm A∩ B ∩ C = \phi\) So, Å, B, C are mutually exclusive. Hence statement 1 is correct
Here Å, B, C are mutually exclusive so A, B, C can't be mutually exhaustive Hence statement 2 is wrong
A ∪ B = {1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 15, 16, 20} n(A ∪ B) = 8 U = {1, 2, 3, ...., 20} n(U) = 20 Now, The number of elements in the complement set of A ∪ B = n(U) - n(A ∪ B) = 20 - 8 = 12 Hence statement 3 is correct |
