Free Objective Test 02 Practice Test - 11th and 12th 

Question 1

If A = [ x:x is a multiple of 3] and B = [x:x is a multiple of 5] , then A - B is (¯A means complement of A)

A.

¯A

B.

A  ¯B

C.

¯A  ¯B

D.

AB

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Try taking some values of A and B
We'll see that  A - B  = A  ¯B

Question 2

If A = [(x,y): x2+y2=25]  And B = [(x,y): x2+9y2=144], then AB contains 

 

A.

One point 

B.

Three points 

C.

Two points

D.

Four points

SOLUTION

Solution : D

A = Set of all values (x,y) : x2+y2=25=52 

B = x2144+y216=1    i.e., x2(12)2+y2(4)2=1 

Clearly , A B consists of four points. 

 

Question 3

Sets A and B have 3 and 6 elements respectively. What can be the minimum number of elements in (B )

 

A.

3

B.

6

C.

9

D.

18

SOLUTION

Solution : B

n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A B) = 3 + 6 - 1 (AB) 

Since maximum number of elements in A B = 3 

Minimum number of elements in A B = 9 - 3 = 6 . 

Question 4

If Na={an:nN} , then N3N4 =  

A.

N7 

B.

N12 

C.

N3 

D.

N4 

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Na={an:nN}
N3N4={3,6,9,12,15}{4,8,12,16,20,}

 ={12,24,36}=N12 

[ 3,4 are relatively prime numbers ]
 N3N4 = N12

Question 5

If X = {8n7n1:nN} and Y={49(n1):nN} , then 

A.

X Y

B.

Y X

C.

X = Y

D.

None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Since 8n7n1=(7+1)n7n1 

= 7n+nC17n1+nC27n2+.....+nCn17+nCn7n1 

= nC272+nC373+...+nCn7n,(nC0=nCnnC1=nCn1etc,) 

= 49[nC2+nC3(7)+........+nCn7n2] 

8n7n1 is a multiple of 49 for n

For n = 1 , 8n7n1=871=0; 

For n = 2, 8n7n1=64141=49 

8n7n1 is a multiple of 49 for n N

 X contains elements which are multiples of 49 and clearly γ

contains all multiplies of 49. X Y.

Question 6

If n()=700, n(A)=200, n(B)=300 and n(AB)=100, then n(AB)= ___.

A.

400

B.

240

C.

300

D.

500

SOLUTION

Solution : C

From de-Morgan's law of complementation, we have AB=(AB).
n(AB)=n((AB))
But, n((AB))=n(U)n(AB) by definition of complement of a set.
n(AB)=n(U)n(AB)
                      =n(U)[n(A)+n(B)n(AB)] 
                      =700(200+300100)
                      =300

Question 7

In a committee 50 people speak French, 20 speak Spanish and 10 speak both Spanish and French. The number of persons speaking at least one of these two languages is

A.

60

B.

40

C.

38

D.

58

SOLUTION

Solution : A

n(SF) = n(S)+n(F)n(SF)

n(SF) = 20 + 50 -10 = 60

Question 8

If A={1,2,3,4,5,6}, B={1,2}, then A(AB) is equal to

A.

A

B.

N

C.

AB

D.

AB

SOLUTION

Solution : C

AB = A - B = {3,4,5,6}

=A(AB) = {1,2}

Question 9

Let n(AB)=25+x, n(BA)=2x and n(AB)=2x. If n(A)=2(n(B)), then x = ___.

A.

4

B.

5

C.

6

D.

7

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Given that n(AB)=25+x, n(BA)=2x and n(AB)=2x.

We know that n(A)=n(AB)+n(AB).         =25+x+2x=3x+25

Similarly, n(B)=n(BA)+n(AB)
         =2x+2x = 4x.

 n(A)=2(n(B))3x+25 = 2×4x

5x=25x=5

Question 10

In a group of 70 people, 37 like coffee, 52 like tea and each person like at least one of the two drinks. The number of persons liking both coffee and tea is:

A.

16

B.

13

C.

19

D.

20

SOLUTION

Solution : C

n(AB) = n(A)+n(B)n(AB)

We have, 70 = 37 + 52 - n(AB)
n(AB) = 19.

Question 11

Let F1 be the set of all parallelograms, F2 the set of rectangles, F3 the set of rhombuses, F4 the set of squares and F5 the set of trapeziums in a plane, then F1 is equal to 

A.

F2F3

B.

F2F3F4

C.

F3F4

D.

F2F1

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Since every rectangle, rhombus and square is parallelogram so

F1=F2F3F4

Question 12

Of the 200 candidates who were interviewed for a position at a call center, 100 had a two-wheeler, 70 had a credit card and 140 had a mobile phone. 40 of them had both two-wheeler and credit card, 30 had both credit card and mobile phone and 60 had both two wheeler and mobile phone and 10 had all three. How many candidates had none of the three?

A.

0

B.

10

C.

20

D.

18

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Number of candidates who had none of the three = Total number of candidates - number of candidates who had at least one of three devices.

Total number of candidates = 200 =n(U), where U is the universal set

Number of candidates who had at least one of the three =n(ABC), where A is the set of those who have a two wheeler, B the set of those who have a credit card and C the set of those who have a mobile phone.

We know that n(ABC)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)
[n(AB)+n(BC)+n(CA)]+n(ABC)
Therefore, n(ABC)=100+70+140{40+30+60}+10
Or n(ABC)=190.
As 190 candidates who attended the interview had at least one of the three gadgets, n(U)n(ABC)= 200 - 190 = 10 candidates had none of three.

Question 13

A={x:xR, x2=16 and 2x=6} can be represented in the roster form as _________ .

A.

A = {}

B.

A = { 14, 3, 4 }

C.

A = { 3 }

D.

A = { 4 }

SOLUTION

Solution : A

x2=16x=±4

2x=6x=3

There is no value of x which satisfies both the given equations. The set A is an empty set or a null set.

Thus, A = {}.

Question 14

If a set A has n  elements, then the total number of subsets of A is  

A.

n

B.

n2

C.

2n

D.

2n

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Number of subsets of A = nC0nC1  + .............+ nCn2n

Question 15

The group of intelligent students in a class is __________.

A.

a null set

B.

a finite set

C.

a well defined collection

D.

not a well defined collection

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Intelligence cannot be defined for students in a class. Hence, the group of intelligent students is not a well defined collection.
