Easy INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Let X = {n $\in$ N : 1 $\le$ n $\le$ 50}. If
A = {n $\in$ X: n is a multiple of 2} and
B = {n $\in$ X: n is a multiple of 7}, then the number of elements in the smallest subset of X containing both A and B is ________.

Answer (integer) 29

Solution

X = {1, 2, 3, 4, …, 50} <br><br>A = {2, 4, 6, 8, …, 50} = 25 elements <br><br>B = {7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49} = 7 elements <br><br>Here n(A$\cup$B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A$\cap$B) <br><br>= 25 + 7 – 3 = 29
