\(n(P \cap L) = 25\)
(ii) Venn-diagram Representation
U 40 25 50 10 L P
(iii) Students who preferred neither of two places
\(n(P \cup L) = n(P) + n(L) - n(P \cap L) = 75 + 65 - 25 = 115\)

\(n(\overline{P \cup L}) = n(U) - n(P \cup L) = 125 - 115 = 10\)
\(n(\overline{P \cup L}) = 10\)
(iv) Ratio of students who preferred Lumbini only and Pokhara only
\(n_o(L) = n(L) - n(P \cap L) = 65 - 25 = 40\)
\(n_o(P) = n(P) - n(P \cap L) = 75 - 25 = 50\)

\(n(B \cup S) = n(B) + n(S) - n(B \cap S) = 4500 + 3750 - 2250 = 6000\)

\(n(\overline{B \cup S}) = n(U) - n(B \cup S) = 7500 - 6000 = 1500\)
\(n(\overline{B \cup S}) = 1500\)
(iv) Tourists who visited only one of these countries
\(n_o(B) = n(B) - n(B \cap S) = 4500 - 2250 = 2250\)
\(n_o(S) = n(S) - n(B \cap S) = 3750 - 2250 = 1500\)

\(\text{Only one country} = n_o(B) + n_o(S) = 2250 + 1500 = 3750\)

Let \(n(B \cap C) = x\)
\(150 = (62-x) + (70-x) + x + 30 \implies 150 = 162-x \implies x = 12\)
\(n_o(C) = n(C) - n(B \cap C) = 70 - 12 = 58\)
\(n_o(C) = 58\)
(iv) Comparison of both games and neither
\(n(B \cap C) = 12\)
\(n(\overline{B \cup C}) = 30\)

Let \(n(M \cap E) = x\)
\(n(U) = n_o(M) + n_o(E) + n(M \cap E) + n(\overline{M \cup E})\)
\(54 = 18 + 25 + x + 7 \implies 54 = 50 + x \implies x = 4\)
\(n(M) = n_o(M) + n(M \cap E) = 18 + 4 = 22\)
\(n(M) = 22\)
(iv) Difference between not in English and not in Mathematics
\(n(E) = n_o(E) + n(M \cap E) = 25 + 4 = 29\)

(iii) Percentage of people using Wi-Fi
Let \(n(C \cap W) = x\)
\(100\% = 20\% + 65\% + x + 5\% \implies 100\% = 90\% + x \implies x = 10\%\)
\(n(W) = n_o(W) + n(C \cap W) = 65\% + 10\% = 75\%\)
\(n(W) = 75\%\)
(iv) Difference between not using cellular data and not using Wi-Fi

Failed both, \(n(\overline{E \cup M})\) = 45
(i) Venn-diagram Representation
U 20% 60% 10% 45 E M
(ii) Number of examinees
\(n(U) = n_o(E) + n_o(M) + n(E \cap M) + n(\overline{E \cup M})\)
\(x = 0.2x + 0.1x + 0.6x + 45\)
\(x = 0.9x + 45 \implies 0.1x = 45 \implies x = 450\)
Total Examinees, \(n(U) = 450\)
(iii) Examinees who passed both
\(n(E \cap M) = 0.6 \times 450 = 270\)
\(n(E \cap M) = 270\)
(iv) Verification of Ram's calculation
Failed in English, \(n(\overline{E}) = n(U) - n(E) = 450 - 0.8(450) = 90\)
Passed Math only, \(n_o(M) = 0.1 \times 450 = 45\)
\(\frac{n(\overline{E})}{n_o(M)} = \frac{90}{45} = 2 \implies n(\overline{E}) = 2 \times n_o(M)\)
Ram's calculation is correct.

(iii) Total number of people surveyed
Let \(n(F \cap M) = x\%\)
\(100\% = (65\% - x) + (55\% - x) + x + 10\% \implies 100\% = 130\% - x \implies x = 30\%\)
Let total surveyed $= y$
\(30\% \text{ of } y = 360 \implies y = 1200\)
Total Surveyed, \(n(U) = 1200\)
(iv) Comparison of both with neither
Both $= 360$
Neither $= 10\% \text{ of } 1200 = 120$
\(\frac{\text{Both}}{\text{Neither}} = \frac{360}{120} = 3 \implies \text{Both} = 3 \times \text{Neither}\)
The number of people who liked both is 3 times of neither.

(ii) Percentage of farmers cultivating either
\(n(R \cup W) = n(U) - n(\overline{R \cup W}) = 100\% - 20\% = 80\%\)
Cultivating either = 80%
(iii) Total number of farmers
Let \(n(R \cap W) = x\%\)
\(100\% = (70\% - x) + (60\% - x) + x + 20\% \implies 100\% = 150\% - x \implies x = 50\%\)
Let total farmers $= y$
\(50\% \text{ of } y = 450 \implies y = 900\)
Total Farmers = 900
(iv) Comparison of both with none
Both $= 450$
None $= 20\% \text{ of } 900 = 180$
\(\frac{\text{Both}}{\text{None}} = \frac{450}{180} = 2.5 \implies \text{Both} = 2.5 \times \text{None}\)
The number of farmers cultivating both is 2.5 times of none.

(iii) People who jog regularly
\(n(U) = n_o(Y) + n_o(J) + n(Y \cap J) + n(\overline{Y \cup J})\)
\(100 = (4x - 25) + (5x - 25) + 25 + 35\)
\(100 = 9x + 10 \implies 9x = 90 \implies x = 10\)
\(n(J) = 5x = 5 \times 10 = 50\)
\(n(J) = 50\)
(iv) Percentage of jogging only
\(n_o(J) = n(J) - n(Y \cap J) = 50 - 25 = 25\)

If \(n(M) = 9x\), then:
\(n(S) = 7x\)
(ii) Venn-diagram Representation
U 20 25 10 15 M S
(iii) Total number of students
We have, \(n_o(M) = n(M) - n(M \cap S) = 9x - 25\)
Since \(n_o(M) = 20 \implies 9x - 25 = 20 \implies 9x = 45 \implies x = 5\)
\(n_o(S) = 7x - 25 = 7(5) - 25 = 10\)
\(n(U) = n_o(M) + n_o(S) + n(M \cap S) + n(\overline{M \cup S})\)
\(n(U) = 20 + 10 + 25 + 15 = 70\)

\(n(U) = n_o(M) + n_o(S) + n(M \cap S) + n(\overline{M \cup S})\)
\(120 = 2x + x + 50 + 40 \implies 120 = 3x + 90 \implies 3x = 30 \implies x = 10\)
\(n(M) = n_o(M) + n(M \cap S) = 2(10) + 50 = 70\)
\(n(M) = 70\)
(iv) Conditional ratio of Math only to Science only

11. a) In the local level election, Mr. Harka and Mrs. Sunita were two candidates for the post of the mayor in a municipality and 25,000 voters were in the voter list. Voters were supposed to cast the vote for a single candidate. 12,000 people cast vote for Harka only, 10,000 people cast vote for Sunita only and 1,000 people cast vote even for both the candidates.
  1. State the given sets in cardinality notations.
  2. Show the above information in a Venn-diagram.
  3. How many people didn’t cast the vote?
  4. Find the percentage of valid votes.

📝 Given Information

Total Voters, \(n(U)\) = 25000
Harka only, \(n_o(H)\) = 12000
Sunita only, \(n_o(S)\) = 10000
Both, \(n(H \cap S)\) = 1000
(i) Cardinality notations
\(n(U) = 25000,\; n_o(H) = 12000,\; n_o(S) = 10000,\; n(H \cap S) = 1000\)
(ii) Venn-diagram Representation
U 12000 1000 10000 2000 H S
(iii) People who didn’t cast vote
\(n(H \cup S) = n_o(H) + n_o(S) + n(H \cap S) = 12000 + 10000 + 1000 = 23000\)
\(n(\overline{H \cup S}) = n(U) - n(H \cup S) = 25000 - 23000 = 2000\)
Didn't cast vote = 2000
(iv) Percentage of valid votes
Valid votes $= n_o(H) + n_o(S) = 12000 + 10000 = 22000$
Total cast $= n(H \cup S) = 23000$
\(\text{Percentage} = \frac{22000}{23000} \times 100\% \approx 95.65\%\)
Valid votes % = 95.65%

(iii) Students who did not cast vote
\(n(A \cup B) = n_o(A) + n_o(B) + n(A \cap B) = 200 + 175 + 15 = 390\)
\(n(\overline{A \cup B}) = n(U) - n(A \cup B) = 400 - 390 = 10\)
Did not cast vote = 10
(iv) Percentage of valid votes
Valid votes $= n_o(A) + n_o(B) = 200 + 175 = 375$
Total cast $= n(A \cup B) = 390$

12. a) In a survey conducted among the participants in a picnic programme, 60 people liked meat, 55 people didn’t like meat, 48 didn’t like fish and 25 liked meat but not fish.
  1. Write the relation among \(n(U)\), \(n(M)\) and \(n(\overline{M})\).
  2. How many people were surveyed?
  3. How many people like fish but not meat?
  4. Find the ratio of vegetarians to non-vegetarians.

📝 Given Information

Liked meat, \(n(M)\) = 60
Disliked meat, \(n(\overline{M})\) = 55
Disliked fish, \(n(\overline{F})\) = 48
Meat only, \(n_o(M)\) = 25
(i) Relation among universal, main, and complement sets
\(n(U) = n(M) + n(\overline{M})\)
(ii) People surveyed
\(n(U) = n(M) + n(\overline{M}) = 60 + 55 = 115\)
Surveyed, \(n(U) = 115\)
(iii) People who like fish but not meat
\(n(F) = n(U) - n(\overline{F}) = 115 - 48 = 67\)
\(n(M \cap F) = n(M) - n_o(M) = 60 - 25 = 35\)
\(n_o(F) = n(F) - n(M \cap F) = 67 - 35 = 32\)
\(n_o(F) = 32\)
(iv) Ratio of vegetarians to non-vegetarians
Non-vegetarians, \(n(M \cup F) = n_o(M) + n_o(F) + n(M \cap F) = 25 + 32 + 35 = 92\)
Vegetarians (Neither), \(n(\overline{M \cup F}) = n(U) - n(M \cup F) = 115 - 92 = 23\)

\(\text{Ratio} = n(\overline{M \cup F}) : n(M \cup F) = 23 : 92 = 1 : 4\)

📝 Given Information

Total youth, \(n(U)\) = 1150
I-phone only, \(n_o(I)\) = 150
Samsung, \(n(S)\) = 770
Symmetric difference, \(n(I \Delta S)\) = 900
(i) Cardinality of symmetric difference
\(n(I \Delta S) = 900\)
(ii) Venn-diagram Representation
U 150 20 750 230 I S
(iii) Youth who use both of these smart phones
\(n(I \Delta S) = n_o(I) + n_o(S) \implies 900 = 150 + n_o(S) \implies n_o(S) = 750\)
Let \(n(I \cap S) = x\)
\(n(S) = n_o(S) + x \implies 770 = 750 + x \implies x = 20\)
\(n(I \cap S) = 20\)
(iv) Comparison of either and none
Either, \(n(I \cup S) = n_o(I) + n(S) = 150 + 770 = 920\)
None, \(n(\overline{I \cup S}) = n(U) - n(I \cup S) = 1150 - 920 = 230\)
\(\text{Ratio} = 920 : 230 = 4 : 1\)
The number of youths who use either phone is 4 times those who use none.

📝 Given Information

Total surveyed, \(n(U)\) = 200
Neither, \(n(\overline{A \cup B})\) = 80
Soap A only, \(n_o(A)\) = 60
Both, \(n(A \cap B)\) = \(x\)
(i) Soap B only representation
\(n_o(B) = 3x\)
(ii) Venn-diagram Representation

(iii) Households using only one brand of soap
\(n(U) = n_o(A) + n_o(B) + n(A \cap B) + n(\overline{A \cup B})\)
\(200 = 60 + 3x + x + 80 \implies 200 = 140 + 4x \implies 4x = 60 \implies x = 15\)
\(\text{Only one brand} = n_o(A) + n_o(B) = 60 + 3(15) = 105\)
Only one brand = 105
(iv) Percentage of households using Brand B

13. b) 100 employees in an office were asked about their preference for tea and coffee. It was observed that for every person who preferred both the drinks, there were 2 people who preferred coffee and 3 people who preferred tea. The number of people who drink neither of the two drinks is same as those who drink both.
  1. How many people preferred both the drinks?
  2. How many people preferred only one drink?
  3. How many people preferred at most one drink?

📝 Given Information

Total employees, \(n(U)\) = 100
Let both, \(n(T \cap C)\) = \(x\)
Tea, \(n(T)\) = \(3x\)
Coffee, \(n(C)\) = \(2x\)
Neither, \(n(\overline{T \cup C})\) = \(x\)
(i) Employees who preferred both
\(n(U) = n(T) + n(C) - n(T \cap C) + n(\overline{T \cup C})\)
\(100 = 3x + 2x - x + x \implies 100 = 5x \implies x = 20\)
\(n(T \cap C) = 20\)
(ii) Employees who preferred only one drink
\(n_o(T) = n(T) - n(T \cap C) = 3x - x = 2x = 40\)
\(n_o(C) = n(C) - n(T \cap C) = 2x - x = x = 20\)
\(\text{Only one drink} = n_o(T) + n_o(C) = 40 + 20 = 60\)
Only one drink = 60
(iii) Employees who preferred at most one drink
\(\text{At most one} = n(U) - n(T \cap C) = 100 - 20 = 80\)
At most one = 80
13. c) Due to the heavy rainfall during a few monsoon days, 140 households were victimized throughout the country. In the first phase, Nepal government has decided to provide the support of either food, shelter or both to a few victimized households. 80 households got food support, 70 got shelter and 50 households got the support of food and shelter both. The government has managed the budget of Rs 10,000 per household for food, Rs 25,000 per household for shelter and Rs 35,000 per household for food and shelter.
  1. Calculate the amount of budget for food only.
  2. Calculate the amount of budget for shelter only.
  3. Calculate the total amount of budget allocated.
  4. How many households were remained to get support in the first phase?

📝 Given Information

Total victimized, \(n(U)\) = 140
Food, \(n(F)\) = 80
Shelter, \(n(S)\) = 70
Both, \(n(F \cap S)\) = 50
(i) Budget for food only
\(n_o(F) = n(F) - n(F \cap S) = 80 - 50 = 30\)
\(\text{Budget} = 30 \times \text{Rs. } 10,000 = \text{Rs. } 3,00,000\)
Food only Budget = Rs. 3,00,000
(ii) Budget for shelter only
\(n_o(S) = n(S) - n(F \cap S) = 70 - 50 = 20\)
\(\text{Budget} = 20 \times \text{Rs. } 25,000 = \text{Rs. } 5,00,000\)
Shelter only Budget = Rs. 5,00,000
(iii) Total budget allocated
Food only Budget $= \text{Rs. } 3,00,000$
Shelter only Budget $= \text{Rs. } 5,00,000$
Both Budget $= 50 \times \text{Rs. } 35,000 = \text{Rs. } 17,50,000$
\(\text{Total Budget} = 3,00,000 + 5,00,000 + 17,50,000 = \text{Rs. } 25,50,000\)
Total Budget = Rs. 25,50,000
(iv) Households remained to get support
Received support, \(n(F \cup S) = n_o(F) + n_o(S) + n(F \cap S) = 30 + 20 + 50 = 100\)
Remained, \(n(\overline{F \cup S}) = n(U) - n(F \cup S) = 140 - 100 = 40\)
Remained households = 40
13. d) In a survey, one-third of the number of children like only mango and 22 do not like mango at all. Also, two-fifth of the number of children like orange but 12 like none of them.
  1. Draw a Venn-diagram to show the above information.
  2. Find the total number of children in the survey.
  3. Find the number of children who like only one fruit.
  4. Find the difference between those who do not like orange at all and those who do not like mango at all.

📝 Given Information

Let total children, \(n(U)\) = \(x\)
Mango only, \(n_o(M)\) = \(\frac{x}{3}\)
Disliked Mango, \(n(\overline{M})\) = 22
Orange, \(n(O)\) = \(\frac{2x}{5}\)
Neither, \(n(\overline{M \cup O})\) = 12
(i) Venn-diagram Representation
U 15 8 10 12 M O
(ii) Total number of children
From Venn-diagram,
\(n(U) = n_o(M) + n(O) + n(\overline{M \cup O})\)
\(x = \frac{x}{3} + \frac{2x}{5} + 12 \implies x = \frac{5x + 6x + 180}{15}\)
\(15x = 11x + 180 \implies 4x = 180 \implies x = 45\)
Total Children, \(n(U) = 45\)
(iii) Children who like only one fruit
\(n_o(M) = \frac{x}{3} = \frac{45}{3} = 15\)
Since \(n(\overline{M}) = n_o(O) + 12 = 22 \implies n_o(O) = 10\)
\(\text{Only one fruit} = n_o(M) + n_o(O) = 15 + 10 = 25\)
Only one fruit = 25
(iv) Difference between those who do not like orange and mango at all
Do not like orange, \(n(\overline{O}) = n_o(M) + n(\overline{M \cup O}) = 15 + 12 = 27\)
Do not like mango, \(n(\overline{M}) = 22\)
\(\text{Difference} = 27 - 22 = 5\)
The number of children who do not like orange at all is 5 more than those who do not like mango at all.
