Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Let $$\mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^{50} {X_i} = \mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i} = T$$ where each Xi contains 10 elements and each Yi contains 5 elements. If each element of the set T is an element of exactly 20 of sets Xi’s and exactly 6 of sets Yi’s, then n is equal to :

  1. A 30 Correct answer
  2. B 50
  3. C 15
  4. D 45

Solution

$\mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^{50} {X_i} =$ X<sub>1</sub>, X<sub>2</sub>,....., X<sub>50</sub> = 50 sets. Given each sets having 10 elements. <br><br>So total elements = 50 $\times$ 10 <br><br>$\mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i} =$ $$ Y<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>2</sub>,....., Y<sub>n</sub> = n sets. Given each sets having 5 elements. <br><br>So total elements = 5 $$ \times $$ n <br><br>Now each element of set T contains exactly 20 of sets X<sub>i</sub>. <br><br>So number of effective elements in set T = $${{50 \times 10} \over {20}}$$ <br><br>Also each element of set T contains exactly 6 of sets Y<sub>i</sub>. <br><br>So number of effective elements in set T = $${{50 \times 10} \over {20}}$<br><br>$ \therefore $${{50 \times 10} \over {20}}$=${{5 \times n} \over {20}}$<br><br>$ \Rightarrow $$ n = 30
