The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of elements in the intersection of sets A and B (denoted as \( n(A \cap B) \)) and the number of elements in the difference of set A and set B (denoted as \( n(A - B) \)). Given: - \( n(A \cup B) = 21 \) - \( n(A) = 10 \) - \( n(B) = 15 \) ### Step 1: Use the formula for the union of two sets The formula for the union of two sets is given by: \[ n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values into the formula: \[ 21 = 10 + 15 - n(A \cap B) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the equation: \[ 21 = 25 - n(A \cap B) \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( n(A \cap B) \) Rearranging the equation to find \( n(A \cap B) \): \[ n(A \cap B) = 25 - 21 \] \[ n(A \cap B) = 4 \] ### Step 4: Find \( n(A - B) \) To find \( n(A - B) \), we use the formula: \[ n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ n(A - B) = 10 - 4 \] \[ n(A - B) = 6 \] ### Final Answers: - \( n(A \cap B) = 4 \) - \( n(A - B) = 6 \)
