1. For each of the following expression from set theory, draw a Venn diagram and shade the
area described.
a) A B d) A (B’ \ C)
b) A B’ e) A (B C)
c) A’ B’ f) A B’, given that B A
2. Given the following universal set U and its two subsets P and Q,
U = {x: x is an integer, 0 x 10}
4. The successor of the set A is the set A {A}. Find the successor of the following set:
a) {a} c) Ø
b) {1, 2}
j) A B B C
7. A survey of 100 people is conducted to determine how many students excel in the
following subjects: Math (M), Computer (C) and Science (S). Given:
- The number of students who excel in all 3 subjects: 8
8. Let the universe be the set U = {1,2,3,…10}. Let A = {1,4,7,10}, B = {1,2,3,4,5} and
C = {2,4,6,8}. List the elements of each set below:
a) A
b) U C
c) A
d) B
e) ( A C ) B
11. R1 and R2 are 2 relations from A = {p, q, r} to B = {1, 2} where R1 = {(p,1), (q,2)} and R2
= {(p,1), (q,1), (r,2)}.
a) Represent R1 and R2 pictorially. b) Find the domain and range for R1.
12. List the ordered pairs in the relation R from A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} to B = {0, 1, 2, 3}, where
a, b R if and only if
a) a = b. b) a + b = 4.
13. Determine whether each set below is a function from X = {1,2,3,4} to Y = {a,b,c,d}. If it’s
a function, draw its arrow diagram, find its range and determine if it’s one-to-one, onto or
both.
a) {(1,a),(2,a),(3, c),(4, b)}
b) {(1, c),(2, c),(3, a),(4, b)}
c) {(1, d ),(2, d ),(4, a)}
14. Given relation R = {(1,2), (2,1), (3,3), (1,1), (2,2)} on X = {1,2,3}. Draw the digraph of the
relation and determine if it’s reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric and transitive.
15. Determine whether the given relation below is an equivalence relation on {1,2,3,4,5}.
a) {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (1,3), (3,1), (3,4), (4,3)}
b) {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5)}
16. Determine whether the given relation below is a partial order on {a, b, c, d}.
a) {(a,a), (b,b), (c,c), (d,d), (b,a), (a,b), (b,d), (b,c), (a,d)}
b) {(a,a), (b,b), (c,c), (d,d), (a,b), (c,d), (d,b), (b,c)}
