Complement is one of the important operations on sets which can be used to find the difference between the universal set and the given set.
If X ⊆ U, where U is a universal set, then U \ X is called the compliment of X with respect to U. If underlying universal set is fixed, then we denote U \ X by X' and it is called compliment of X.
X' = U \ X
The difference set set A \ B can also be viewed as the compliment of B with respect to A.
Question 1 :
If A and B are two sets and U is the universal set such that n(U) = 700, n(A) = 200, n(B) = 300 and n (A∩B) = 100, find n (A'∩B').
Solution :
n (U) = 700
n (A) = 200
n(B) = 300
n (A∩B) = 100
n (A'∩B') = n (AUB)'
To find n (AUB)' we have to use the formula for n (AUB)
n (AUB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)
= 200 + 300 - 100
= 500 - 100
= 400
n (AUB)' = n(U) - n (AUB)
= 700 - 400
= 300
n(A'∩B') = n(AUB)'
n (A'∩B') = 300
Question 2 :
Given n(A) = 285, n(B) = 195, n(U) = 500, n(AUB) = 410, find n (A'UB')
Solution :
n(A) = 285
n(B) = 195
n(U) = 500
n(AUB) = 410
n(A'UB') = n(A∩B)'
To find n(A∩B)' first we have to find n(A∩B)
n(A∩B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AUB)
= 285+195-410
= 480-410
= 70
n (A∩B)' = n(U) - n(A∩B)
= 500-70
n(A∩B)' = 430
