8. Distinguish between equal and equivalent sets.

Ans: (ক) সদৃশ সংহতিত যিকোনো দুটা সংহতিৰ উপাদানৰ সংখ্যা সমান হোৱাৰ লগতে উপাদানবোৰ একেই হয় ৷ আনহাতে সমতুল্য সংহতিত যিকোনা দুটা সংহতিৰ উপাদানবোৰ সমান  হয় কিন্তু উপাদানবোৰ একে নহবও পাৰে ৷ 

        (খ) সদৃশ সংহতি সমতুল্য হ'ব পাৰে, কিন্তু সমতুল্য সংহতি সদৃশ হবও পাৰে বা নহবও পাৰে ৷ 

উদাহৰণ - 

ধৰাহ'ল ,

A = {1, 2, 3, 4,} ,  B = { 4, 3, 2, 1 } , C = { a , b, c, d } 

ইয়াত , 

A = B ( সদৃশ সংহতি হয় ) আৰু ( সমতুল্য সংহতি হয় )

A ≠ C ( সদৃশ সংহতি নহয় ) 

A ≡ C ( সমতুল্য সংহতি হয় )

9. Find P x Q and Q x P 

(i) P = { 2, 3 } , Q = { 4, 5, 6 }

(ii) P = { 1, 2, 3 }, Q = { 1, 3 } 

Solution: 

(i) P = { 2, 3 } , Q = { 4, 5, 6 } 

P x Q =  { 2, 3 } x { 4, 5, 6 } 

= { (2, 4 ), (2 ,5 ), (2, 6), ( 3, 4 ), ( 3, 5 ), ( 3, 6) }

Q x P = { 4, 5, 6 } x { 2, 3 } 

= { ( 4, 2 ), (4 , 3 ), (5, 2 ), ( 5, 3 ), ( 6, 2 ), ( 6 ,3) }

(ii) P = { 1, 2, 3 }, Q = { 1, 3 } 

P x Q = { 1, 2, 3 } x { 1, 3 }

10. Express the following sets in Venn diagrams :

(i) If P = { a, b, c, d } and Q = { b, d, g, h }, then P U Q = ? and P ⋂ Q = ?

(ii) P = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } and Q = { 1, 3, 6, 7 } then P - Q = ? and Q - P = ? 

Solution:

(i) 

 


(ii) 


11. Let A be a set containing 6 elements and B be a set containing 14 elements. If A U B has 14 elements, find the number of elements in A ⋂ B.

Solution:

Here,

n(A) = 6

n(B) = 14

n(A U B) = 14 

Now,

n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n (⋂ B)

=> 14 = 6 + 14 - n (⋂ B)

=> 14 = 20 - n (⋂ B)

=> 14 - 20 = - n (⋂ B)

=> - 6 = - n (⋂ B)

=> n (⋂ B) = 6 

∴ n (⋂ B) = 6 //
