A = {square numbers} B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(a) Write all the elements of in their correct place in the Venndiagram. [2]
(b) List the elements of (A ∪B)'.

The Venn diagram shows the number of elements in sets A, B and C. (a) n(A ∪ B ∪ C ) = 74 Find x. (b) n( ) = 100 Find y. [2] [1]
𝑛𝑛(𝐴𝐴 ⋃ 𝐵𝐵 ⋃ 𝐶𝐶) is the sum of all elements in the sets A, B and C.
13 + 14 + 8 + 12 − 𝑥𝑥 + 20 − 𝑥𝑥 + 15 − 𝑥𝑥 + 𝑥𝑥 = 74
82 − 2𝑥𝑥 = 74
2𝑥𝑥 = 8
𝒙𝒙 = 𝟒𝟒
𝑛𝑛 𝜉𝜉 is the sum of all elements in and outside of the sets.
𝑦𝑦 + 74 = 100

(c) Find the value of n((A ∪ B)' ∩ C). [1]
𝑛𝑛((𝐴𝐴 ∪ 𝐵𝐵)′ ∩ 𝐶𝐶)

This Venn diagram shows the number of elements in each region.
Write down the value of n (A∪ B'). [1]
𝐴𝐴 ∪ 𝐵𝐵′is a region which belongs to either A or does not belong to B.
By summing the elements in the shaded regions:
𝑛𝑛 𝐴𝐴 ∪ 𝐵𝐵′ = 3 + 7 + 4

In a survey of 60 cars, 25 use diesel, 20 use liquid hydrogen and 22 use electricity. No cars use all three fuels and 14 cars use both diesel and electricity.
There are 8 cars which use diesel only, 15 cars which use liquid hydrogen only and 6 cars which use electricity only.
In the Venn diagram below = {cars in the survey}, D = {cars which use diesel},
L = {cars which use liquid hydrogen}, E = {cars which use electricity}.

In a group of 30 students, 18 have visited Australia, 15 have visited Botswana and 5 have not visited either country.
Work out the number of students who have visited Australia but not Botswana. [2]
We have an overlap of
18 + 15 − (30 − 5)
= 8
Hence, 8 students have visited both countries.
So, we have
18 − 8
= 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏

In a group of 24 students, 21 like football and 15 like swimming. One student does not like football and does not like swimming.
Find the number of students who like both football and swimming. [2]
We have
24 − 1 = 23
students that like either one or the other or both.

Shade the region required in each Venn Diagram. A
C
B A B
A∩ B ∩ C A ∪ B′ [2]
We shade the intersection of all 3 Sets A, B and C, therefore, the area which is common
to all 3 sets.
B’ – the complement of B, represents all the elements which are not in Set B.
For the reunion of B’ with Set A, we shade therefore every region except Set B, including the
intersection between Set A and B since that is considered Set A.

Head to savemyexams.co.uk for more awesome resources n(A) = 18, n(B) = 11 and n(A ∪ B)′ = 0.
(a) Label the Venn diagram to show the sets A and B where n(A ∪ B) =18.
Write down the number of elements in each region. [2]
(b) Draw another Venn diagram to show the sets A and B where n(A ∪ B) = 29.
Write down the number of elements in each region. [2]
The union of A and B is 18.
This represents all the elements which are either in Set A, B and both.
The complement of their union is 0, meaning that there are no
elements which are not in either Set A, B and both.
The union of the 2 sets needs to be 29.
