Venn Diagram

IntroductionPictorial representation of sets gives most of the ideas about sets and their properties in a much easier way

than the representation of sets given in language form. This pictorial representation is done by means of dia-

grams, known as Venn Diagram.

The objects in a set are called the members or elements of the set.

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are the members or elements of the set A.

If B = { x : x is a positive integer divisible by 5 and x < 25} or, B = {5, 10, 15, 20}, then 5, 10, 15 and 20 are the

elements of the set B.

A B (read as set A intersection set B) is the set having the common elements of both the sets A and B.A B (read as set A union set B) is the set having all the elements of the sets A and B. A - B (read as set A minusset B) is the set having those elements of set A which are not in set B.

In other words, A - B represents the set A exclusively, ie A – B have the elements which are only in A.

Similarly, B - A represents the set B exclusively. We keep it in mind that n(A B) = n(B A) and n(A B)= n(B A).

The number of elements of a set A is represented by n(A), but n(A - B) n(B - A)Now, by the above Venn diagram it is obvious that

n(A) = n(A - B) + n(A B) ..... (1)n(B) = n(B - A) + n(A B) ..... (2)n(A B) = n(A - B) + n(A B) + n(B - A) .... (i)Adding (1) and (2) we get,

n(A) + n(B) = n(A - B) + n(B - A) + n(A B) + n(A B)or, n(A) + n(B) - n(A B) = n(A - B) + n(B - A) + n(A B) ... (ii)From (i) and (ii), we have

n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B) .... (3)Let us see some worked out examples given below:

Solved Examples

Ex. 1: I n a c l a s s of 7 0 s t u d en t s , 4 0 l i k e a c er t a i n m a g a z i n e a n d 3 7 l i k e a n o t h er c e r t a i n m a g a z i n e . F i n d

Soln: We have, n(A B) = 70, n(A) = 40, n(B) = 37Now, 70 = 40 + 37 – n(A B) n(A B) = 77 – 70 = 7.

Ex. 2: I n a g r o u p o f 6 4 p er s o n s, 2 6 d r i n k t e a b u t n o t c of f e e a n d 3 4 d r i n k t e a . Fi n d h ow m a n y d r i n k (i ) t e a

an d co f f ee bo t h , (i i ) co f f ee bu t no t t ea .

Soln: (i) n(T C) = 64, n(T - C) = 26, n(T) = 34We have, n(T) = n(T - C) + n(T C)or, 34 = 26 + n(T C) n(T C) = 34 – 26 = 8

(ii)Again, we have

n(T C) = n(T) + n(C) – n(T C) or, 64 = 34 + n(C) – 8

n(C) = 38 Now, n(C) = n(C - T) + n(T C) or, 38 = n(C - T) + 8

n(C – T) = 38 - 8 = 30

Soln: n(M B) = 30, n(M) = 16, n(M - B) = 12, n(B - M) = ?We have, n(M) = n(M - B) + n(M B)or, 16 = 12 + n(M B) n(M B) = 16 - 12 = 4Again, we have, n(M B) = n(M) + n(B) - n(M B)or, 30 = 16 + n(B) – 4

or, n(B) = 30 - 12 = 18

Now, n(B) = n(B – M) + n(M B)or, 18 = n(B - M) + 4

n(B – M) = 18 – 4 = 14Ex. 4: I n a c l a s s o f 7 0 s t u d e n t s, 4 0 l i k e a cer t a i n m a g a z i n e a n d 3 7 l i k e a n ot h e r w h i l e 7 l i k e n ei t h e r .

Soln: We have, total number of students = 70 in which 7 do not like any of the magazines.

For our consideration regarding liking of magazines, we are left with (70 – 7 =) 63 students.

Thus, n(A B) = 63, n(A) = 40, n(B) = 37(i) The number of students who like at least one of the two magazines = n(A B) = 63.(ii) The number of students who like both the magazines simultaneously = n(A B) = ?

We have, n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B) or, 63 = 40 + 37 – n(A B) n(A B) = 77 – 63 = 14

Ex. 5: I n a s c h oo l , 4 5% o f t h e s t u d en t s p l a y c r i c k e t , 3 0% p l a y h o c k e y and 1 5% p l a y bo t h . Wha t p e r c en t

Soln: n(C) = 45, n(H) = 30, n(C H) = 15

n(C H) = 45 + 30 - 15 = 60ie, 60% of the students play either cricket or hockey or both.

So, the remaining (100 - 60 =) 40% students play neither cricket nor hockey.

Soln: (i) Total number of musicians = 360

15% of 360 = 54 musicians can play all the three instruments.

Given that x + y + z = 75Now, 73 + f + v + (x + y + z =) 75 + 54 = 360

v + f = 360 – (73 + 75 + 54) = 158(ii)Now we have v = 73

The number of musicians who can play flute alone,

f = (v + f ) – v = 158 – 73 = 85

and the number of musicians who can play flute = f + x + y + 54 = 85 + 54 + (x + y )

We have x + y + z = 75, x + y = 75 - z .

As either x + y or z is unknown, we cannot find out the number of musicians who can play flute.

Hence, data is inadequate.

Answers and explanations

(1-2):

1. 2; 7.5% of 240 = 18

Given that x + y + z = 45

Now, 60 + 18 + (x + y + z =) 45 + ( f + v ) = 240

or, 123 + ( f + v ) = 240

f + v = 240 - 123 = 117

2. 4; Now, given that v = 60

f = 117 - 60 = 57

But, the number of musicians who can play flute

= f + (x + y ) + 18 = 57 + 18 + (x + y ). Since x + y is

not known so, the number of musicians who canplay flute cannot be determined.

(3-8): We symbolize the number of students who know

only Hindi, ie Hindi but not English by H - E, the

number of students who know only English by E

- H, the number of students who know both the

languages by H E and the total strength of schools by T.

We have T = (H - E) + (E - H) + (H E)Now collecting the given pieces of information and

using the above formula, we get

3. 3; Required percentage

100 22.221800 9

7. 2; Average number of students who know English

5 = 120.

So, A and D are the two desired schools.

8. 1; Clearly for B, the difference is maximum and it

is (300 – 105 =) 195

(9-13):

We have, 240 + x + 540 + 510 = 1440 - 6

or, x = 1434 – 1290 = 144 and

x = 72

9. 3; The number of persons who like Mirinda only

Here, we have

A + B + C + D + E + F + G = 600

B + C = 600 - (111 + 37 + 194 + 20 + 202)

= 600 - 564 = 36

We can get B + C through other ways also.

Note that A + B + C + F = 250

or 20 + B + C + 194 = 250

B + C = 250 - (194 + 20) = 36.

81. 1; Here we need to find out the values of B and C

together ie, 36.

82. 4; Here we need to find out the sum of the values of

A, B, D and E. Since value of B is not known,

hence sum of the values of A, B, D and E can’t

be determined.

83. 4; Total number of students who study more than

one language = A + B + C + D = 20 + 36 + 37 = 93

(84-88):

84. 3; Difference = (E + M) - (H + E) = 300 - 200= 100

85. 4; Number of members who read at least 2 news-

papers = 400 + 300 + 200 + 100 = 1000.

86. 5; Number of members reading Hindi newspaper

= 550 + 400 + 200 + 100 = 1250

87. 2; Number of members who read only one news-

paper = 550 + 650 + 450 = 1650.

88. 1; Number of members reading no newspaper

= 2800 - (650 + 550 + 450 + 400 + 300 +

200 + 100)

= 150.
