SetsEasy

For two sets A and B, let AΔB denote the set of elements which belong to A or B but not both. If P = {1,2,3,4}, Q = {2,3,5,6,}, R = {1,3,7,8,9}, S = {2,4,9,10}, then the number of elements in (PΔQ)Δ(RΔS) is

Answer & solution

  • A

    6

  • B

    8

  • C

    9

  • 7

Solution

The set (PΔQ) = {1,4,5,6}.

The set (RΔS) = {1,2,3,4,7,8,10}

Therefore the set (PΔQ) Δ (RΔS) = {2,3,5,6,7,8,10}.

Thus there are 7 elements in the set.

Hence, option (d).
