Explain Question : Using pandemic health data for 900 people, verify the count of individuals
having exactly two health issues and those having no health issues at all.
Concept : Set Theory; Venn Diagram application; calculating regions for "exactly n" elements
and "neither".
Solution :
n(F∪C) = 330
n(F) + n(C) – n(F∩C) = 330
190 + 220 – n(F∩C) = 330
⇒ n(F∩C) = 80
111log1 n(C∩B) = 90
111log1 n(B∩F) = 70
Hence,

Exactly 2 health issues :

= 40 + 50 + 60 = 150
None health issue :
= 900 – (70 + 50 + 80 + 40 + 30 + 60 + 90)
= 900 – 420
= 480

Explain Question : For a set A with 5 elements, evaluate the total number of reflexive
relations and those that are also symmetric or specifically not symmetric.
Concept : Combinatorics of relations; formulas for Reflexive and Symmetric
relations.
Solution :
 1. Reflexive Relations For a relation to be reflexive, every element must relate to itself. In our
5 × 5 matrix, the diagonal elements (a, a) are mandatory (they have only 1 choice: to be
included). The remaining n2 – n elements (25 – 5 = 20) can either be in the relation or not ( 2
choices each).
• Formula: .
2. Reflexive and Symmetric Relations
• Reflexive: Diagonal elements are fixed (included).
• Symmetric: If (a, b) is included, (b, a) must also be included. This means we only have a
choice for the elements above the diagonal. The elements below the diagonal are automatically
determined by the ones above.

• Number of elements above the diagonal = .

• Formula: = 210.
3. Reflexive but NOT Symmetric Relations To find relations that are reflexive but not
symmetric, we subtract the "Symmetric and Reflexive" count from the "Total Reflexive" count.
• Calculation: 220 – 210 = 210(210–1).
Final Answer : (A,C)

A. {4}: 1 way (All elements in 1 group)

B. {3, 1}: ways

C. {2, 2}: ways

D. {2, 1, 1}: ways

 E. {1, 1, 1, 1}: 1 way (Each element is its own group) Total: 1 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 1 = 15

Explain Question : Solve the system of two equations involving greatest integer functions to
find the value of [x+y].
Concept : Properties of Greatest Integer Function; [x+n] = [x]+n for integer n; solving linear
equations with [x].
Solution :
y = 3[x – 2] + 5 = 3[x] – 1
so 3 [x] – 1 = 2 [x] + 3
[x] = 4 ⇒ 4 ≤ x < 5
then y = 11
so x + y will lie in the interval [15, 16)
so [x + y] = 15
