Sets
A SET is a general name for any collection of distinct elements, which is enclosed by a pair of
curly brackets ( { } )

or E : Universal Set
: Union
: Intersection
{ } : Null Set or Empty Set (has no elements)
: Number of Elements in Set A
: Complement of A or A Complement
: Belongs to or is a member of
: Does NOT belong to or is NOT a member of
: Subset
Universal Set - All the elements under consideration
Intersection - Elements common to all the sets under consideration

Union - All the elements found in the sets under consideration

Complement - Complement A or ( A’ ) is the set of elements in the universal set which


is NOT in set A

Union of Two Sets:


n(AUB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)
Intersection of Two Sets:
n(A∩B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AUB)
Number of Subsets = 2 n * Where ‘n’ is the number of elements

E.g. If A = { 1, 2, 3, 4 } , find 2 n

No. of subsets in A = 2 n
= 24
= 16
Venn Diagrams
A Venn diagram is a schematic representation of the elements in a set or a group. It is a diagram that shows all the possible
logical relationships between different sets or groups.
