Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a]We know, for two sets A and B $ A-B=A-(A\cap B) $
    $ \therefore n(A-B)=n(A)-n(A\cap B) $ Given, $ n(A)=115,n(B)=326 $ and $ n(A-B)=47. $

$ \Rightarrow 47=115-n(A\cap B) $

$ \Rightarrow n(A\cap B)=68 $
Consider $ n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B) $
$ =115+326-68=373 $
