iii ) Venn Diagrams
iv ) Problem Solving

(I) Intersections of Sets

Fact: The intersection of sets A and B, written as set A  B, is the set of elements which are
common to both sets A and B.

Example :
Find the intersection of each of the following pairs of sets.

P ={ integers between 2 and 6 }, Q ={ factors of 12 }

Exercise:

1. Given that x = { all letters in the english alphabets },

A={ h,i,s,t,o,r,y} and B={e,n,g,l,i,s,h }

List the elements of A  B. Hence , determine n(A  B).

[{i,s,h} ; 3]

 (II) Union of Sets

Fact : The union of sets A and B, written as set A È B, is the set of all the elements belonging
to either of the sets.

Example :
Given that the

x = { 1, 2, 3, …, 9 },
A = { 2, 3, 4, 5 },
B = { 4, 5, 6, 7 } and
C = { 3, 5, 6, 9 }.

Determine each of the following sets

a) A È B
b) B È C
c) A È B È C

Exercises :

1. Determine the union of each of the following pairs of sets.

(a) P = {3,5,6} ; Q = {3,6,9} (b) A={multiples of 3 less than 15} ;
B={ odd number between 2 and 8}

[(a){3,5, 6,9} (b){3,5,6,7,9, 12}]

 (III) Venn Diagram

Fact: The closed geometrical shapes that are used to represent set are called Venn diagrams.

Examples:
Shade the region in the following Venn diagrams which represents the intersection of the given
sets.

(a) A’  B (b) A  B ’

 

(c) A  B’


Exercises

1. In the Venn Diagram, shade (P  Q) R’.

P Q

2. In the Venn Diagram, shade A È (B  C).

4. Given that the universal set  = { x : 30 < x < 42, x is an integer },

M = { x : x is a number in which the unit digit is greater than the tens digit } and
N = { x : x is a prime number },
(a) list the elements of the following sets.
(i) M =

(ii) N =

(iii) M  N =

(b) illustrate with a Venn diagram, the sets , M and N. Shade the set M  N.

[a. {15} ; b. {11,23,28} c. {23,28} d. {11,12,13,15,19,20,21,22,25,27,29}

e. {12,13,15,19,20,21,22,25,27,29} f.{ 13, 15,20,22,25,27,29 } g.{11,23,25,28} h.{12,19,21}
i.{11,15,25}

6. The Venn diagram given shows the number of students who are members of Scouts Club (
P ), Taekwando ( T )and Dancing Club ( S ). The total number of students is 40. The number of
students who are member in Taekwando is 24.

(a) Find the value of x and y.

(b) Find the number of students who are member in one society only.
(c) Find the number of students who are member in Dancing Club.

[ (a) x=4, y =5 (b) 21 (C)19 ]

7. The diagram below shows a Venn diagram with the universal set  = {Year Five pupils}, set
M={Pupil who read a Malay language newspapers} and R={Pupils who read an English language
newspapers}. Given that n( M ) = 80, n( R ) = 104, n( M  R) = 12 and the number of pupils who
do not read either newspaper is 4, find the total number of Year Five pupils.

8. A and B are two sets and the number of elements in each set is shown in the Venn Diagram.
Given that n(A) = n(B), calculate

(a) the value of x

(b) n (A È B) and n(A  B’).

[a.8, b.51,24]

9. A, B and C are such that  = A È B È C. The Venn Diagram represents the number of elements
in each subsets.

(a) Given that n () = 50, find the value of x.

(b) Find n (B  C’) and n(A’  B).

(c) Find n( A B  C’)

10. In a community club, a group of 40 women take parts in at least one of the 3 activities:
cooking, singing and dancing. Given that

25 women who choose cooking, 8 also choose singing and dancing, 3 choose cooking only, 6
choose dancing but not singing. 15 women do not choose cooking, x choose both singing
dancing, 2x – 2 choose dancing, 5 choose only singing.
