1. Let $U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$ and $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$, find

i. $A'$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$, $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$

To find,

$A'$

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$A'=U-A$

$=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\}-\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\}$

$=\left\{ 5,6,7,8,9 \right\}$

$\therefore A'=\left\{ 5,6,7,8,9 \right\}$

ii. $B'$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$, $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$

To find,

$B'$

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$B'=U-B$

$=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\}-\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$

$=\left\{ 1,3,5,7,9 \right\}$

$\therefore B'=\left\{ 1,3,5,7,9 \right\}$

iii. $\left( A\cup C \right)'$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$, $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$

To find,

$\left( A\cup C \right)'$

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$A\cup C=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6 \right\}$

$\left( A\cup C \right)'=U-\left( A\cup C \right)$

$=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\}-\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6 \right\}$

$=\left\{ 7,8,9 \right\}$

$\therefore \left( A\cup C \right)'=\left\{ 7,8,9 \right\}$

iv. $\left( A\cup B \right)'$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$, $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$

To find,

$\left( A\cup B \right)'$

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$A\cup B=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,6,8 \right\}$

$\left( A\cup B \right)'=U-A\cup B$

$=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\}-\left\{ 1,2,3,4 ,6,8 \right\}$

$=\left\{ 5,7,9 \right\}$

$\therefore \left( A\cup B \right)'=\left\{ 5,7,9 \right\}$

v. $\left( A' \right)'$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$, $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$

To find,

$\left( A' \right)'$

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$\left( A' \right)'=A$

$=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\}$

$\therefore \left( A' \right)'=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\}$

vi. $\left( B-C \right)'$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\},A=\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\},B=\left\{ 2,4,6,8 \right\}$, $C=\left\{ 3,4,5,6 \right\}$

To find,

$\left( B-C \right)'$

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$B-C=\left\{ 2,8 \right\}$

$\left( B-C \right)'=U-\left( B-C \right)$

$=\left\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \right\}-\left\{ 2,8 \right\}$

$=\left\{ 1,3,4,5,6,7,9 \right\}$

$\therefore \left( B-C \right)'=\left\{ 1,3,4,5,6,7,9 \right\}$

2. If $U=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}$, then find the complements of the following sets:

i. $A=\left\{ a,b,c \right\}$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}$

$A=\left\{ a,b,c \right\}$

To find the complement of A

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$A'=U-A$

$=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}-\left\{ a,b,c \right\}$

$=\left\{ d,e,f,g,h \right\}$

$\therefore$The complement of $A$ is $A'=\left\{ d,e,f,g,h \right\}$

ii. $B=\left\{ d,e,f,g \right\}$

$B'=U-B$

$=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}-\left\{ d,e,f,g \right\}$

$=\left\{ a,b,c,h \right\}$

$\therefore$The complement of $B$ is $B'=\left\{ b,e,c,h \right\}$

iii. $C=\left\{ a,c,e,g \right\}$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}$

$C=\left\{ a,c,e,g \right\}$

To find the complement of A

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$C'=U-C$

$=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}-\left\{ a,c,e,g \right\}$

$=\left\{ b,d,f,h \right\}$

$\therefore$The complement of $C$ is $C'=\left\{ b,d,f,h \right\}$

iv. $D=\left\{ f,g,h,a \right\}$

Ans: Given that,

$U=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}$

$A=\left\{ f,g,h,a \right\}$

To find the complement of A

The complement of set A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A.

$D'=U-D$

$=\left\{ a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h \right\}-\left\{ f,g,h,a \right\}$

$=\left\{ b,c,d,e \right\}$

$\therefore$The complement of $D$ is $D'=\left\{ b,c,d,e \right\}$

• Exercise 1.3 of Sets

How well-acquainted are you are with concepts like – subsets, power sets and universal sets? In case you are not well-versed with them, it is recommended that you improve your knowledge about them before moving on to this exercise. As all nine questions of this exercise are largely based on these concepts mentioned above, brushing up your memory of the same will prove immensely helpful.

That being said; let us take a quick look at how the questions are based on these concepts. For example, the first question tests your knowledge of subsets. First, you have to identify if the two given set of elements are subsets or not. Then, based on your identification, you have to fill in the accurate symbol for each case.

The following question in NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 1 Exercise 1.5 is also based on the same concepts. Here, you need to figure out if the following statements are true or false. Subsequently, you need to provide a suitable explanation for your choice of answer.

While you are at your revision, pay close attention to provide subsets of given sets and the steps to compute the number of elements in a given set. All these techniques and information will allow you to solve the remaining exercises quite efficiently.

Regardless of your comfort level with these concepts of sets, you can access the latest PDF free downloads of our study guides for further assistance. As they are formulated by subject experts, you would not have to guess the accuracy of our solutions, and the methods applied.

• Exercise 1.4 of Sets

The exercise carries a total of 12 questions, and each of them is designed to test your familiarity with the operations of sets.

To refresh your memory, these are the operations that you need to know in details to offer the accurate step by step solution for each question –

i. Union of Sets – In this case, the union of two sets (A and B) would consist of all the elements of both sets. The union between the two sets is denoted by the symbol ‘U’.

Also, the operation of the union has these following properties –

• As per Commutative law, A ∪ B = B ∪ A ()

• As per Associative law, (A ∪ B) ∪ C = A ∪ ( B ∪ C)

• As per the Law of identity element, φ is the identity of ∪ A ∪ φ = A

• As per Idempotent law A ∪ A = A

• As per Law of U (v) U ∪ A = U

ii. Intersections of Sets – In this case, the intersection of two sets (A and B) would consist of those elements that are common to both sets. An intersection between the two sets is denoted by the symbol ‘∩’

Also, operation of the intersection has these following properties –

• As per Commutative law, A ∩ B = B ∩ A.

• As per Associative law, (A ∩ B) ∩ C = A ∩ (B ∩ C).

• As per Law of φ and U, φ ∩ A = φ, U ∩ A = A (U).

• As per Idempotent law, A ∩ A = A

• As per Distributive law, A ∩ ( B ∪ C ) = ( A ∩ B ) ∪ ( A ∩ C )

ii. The difference of Sets – In this case, the set elements which belong to A do not belong to B. The same would be denoted as A – B.

With the help of this information, you would be able to solve 12 questions of NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 1 Exercise 1.5 quickly and accurately. Also, a close reference to the solved exercises provided at the beginning of this exercise will help you understand how these laws are applied in each case. Simultaneously, follow the step by step problem-solving methods shown in our NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 1 Exercise 1.5 to understand the application of these laws better.

• Exercise 1.6 of Sets

How good are you at solving word problems? Put your skills to test by solving the practical problems on the union and intersection of two sets. The section preceding the exercise will provide you with ample information on how to solve word problems based on sets. You will also gain potential insight into why a particular step was applied for solving a problem.

Subsequently, try the eight-word problems of this exercise to figure out how well you have understood the requisite approach for solving similar problems. If you still think you would require a little more assistance to solve them properly, you can take a quick look at our Ex 1.5 Class 11 NCERT Solutions online. Doing so, you will not only figure the accurate answer for each question but will also be able to pick up the best techniques of solving them.
