The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given conditions and use set theory concepts to find the required values for |A| and |B|. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have the following information: - |U| = 14 (the total number of elements in the universal set U) - |(A - B)^c| = 12 (the number of elements not in A - B) - |A ∪ B| = 9 (the number of elements in the union of sets A and B) - |A Δ B| = 7 (the number of elements in the symmetric difference of sets A and B) ### Step 2: Find |A - B| From the information given, we know that: \[ |(A - B)^c| = 12 \] This means that the number of elements in A - B is: \[ |A - B| = |U| - |(A - B)^c| = 14 - 12 = 2 \] ### Step 3: Use the Union Formula We know that: \[ |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B| \] Let’s denote |A| as a and |B| as b. We can express |A ∪ B| in terms of a and b: \[ 9 = a + b - |A ∩ B| \tag{1} \] ### Step 4: Use the Symmetric Difference Formula The symmetric difference |A Δ B| can be expressed as: \[ |A Δ B| = |A - B| + |B - A| = |A| + |B| - 2|A ∩ B| \] Substituting the known values: \[ 7 = 2 + |B - A| \tag{2} \] From equation (2), we can find |B - A|: \[ |B - A| = 7 - 2 = 5 \] ### Step 5: Express |B| in Terms of |A ∩ B| Now, we can express |B| in terms of |A ∩ B|: Let |A ∩ B| = x. Then: \[ |B| = |B - A| + |A ∩ B| = 5 + x \] Substituting this into equation (1): \[ 9 = a + (5 + x) - x \] This simplifies to: \[ 9 = a + 5 \implies a = 4 \] ### Step 6: Find |B| Now that we have |A| = 4, we can find |B|: \[ |B| = 5 + x \] We also know from the union formula: \[ 9 = 4 + |B| - x \] Substituting |B|: \[ 9 = 4 + (5 + x) - x \] This simplifies to: \[ 9 = 9 \implies x = |A ∩ B| \text{ can be any value} \] However, we need to find a specific value. Since |A - B| = 2, we can conclude that: \[ |A ∩ B| = 2 \] Thus: \[ |B| = 5 + 2 = 7 \] ### Final Values We have: - |A| = 4 - |B| = 7 ### Conclusion The final answer is: - |A| = 4 - |B| = 7
