The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the two sets A and B. We know the following: - \( n(A) = 7 \) (the number of elements in set A) - \( n(B) = 13 \) (the number of elements in set B) - \( n(A \cap B) = 5 \) (the number of elements in the intersection of sets A and B) We are tasked with identifying the incorrect statement from a set of options regarding these sets. ### Step 1: Calculate \( n(A \cup B) \) Using the formula for the union of two sets: \[ n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ n(A \cup B) = 7 + 13 - 5 = 15 \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( n(A - B) \) The number of elements in set A that are not in set B can be calculated as: \[ n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ n(A - B) = 7 - 5 = 2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( n(B - A) \) The number of elements in set B that are not in set A can be calculated as: \[ n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ n(B - A) = 13 - 5 = 8 \] ### Step 4: Check the options 1. **Option 1**: \( n(A \cup B) = 15 \) (This is correct) 2. **Option 2**: \( n(A - B) = 7 - 13 = -6 \) (This is incorrect since the number of elements cannot be negative) 3. **Option 3**: \( n(A) \times n(B) = 7 \times 13 = 91 \) (This is correct) 4. **Option 4**: \( n(A \cup B) \times n(A \cap B) = 15 \times 5 = 75 \) (This is correct) The incorrect statement is from **Option 2**, where \( n(A - B) \) is calculated incorrectly as -6. ### Summary of the Solution The incorrect statement is that \( n(A - B) = -6 \).
