b) n(E)=100
(3)
Find y

Answer 1

The value of x is 4.

The value of y is 26.

Explanation:

Here in qn a)

It has been given that n(AUBUC)=74

So we just add all components of n(AUBUC) and add it in an equation which equals to 74;

13 + 12 - x + x + 20 - x + 15 - x + 8 + 14 = 74

82 - 2x = 74

82 - 74 = 2x

8 = 2x

4 = x

So x is 4.

Now for qn b)

It has already been given that n(AUBUC) = 74 and n(U) = 100

so to find y we simply substract n(AUBUC) from n(U)

y = n(U) - n(AUBUC)

= 100 - 74

=26
