We need to find the values of x, y and z such that (P Q C ) is dimensionless.
Concept:
This question is based on dimensional analysis.
Solution:
0 0 0
Px Qy Cz = M L T
0 0 0
(ML–1T–2)x (MT–3)y (LT–1)z = M L T
Equating the process of M, L and T
for M : x + y = 0 ......(1)
for L : –x + z = 0 ......(2)
for T : –2x – 3y – z = 0 ......(3)
from equation (2), we get z = x, substitute z = x into equation (3)
–2x – 3y – x = 0
–3x – 3y = 0
x + y = 0 ......(4) same as equation (1)
from equation (1), y = –x
since, x, y, z are non-zero integers, lets try a simple-zero
integer for x, for example x = 1
if x = 1, then y = –1 and z = 1
the values x = 1, y = –1, z = 1 satisfy all equations

3) Question Explanation:
We need to determine the equivalent of one meter in given hypothetical system.
Concept:
This question is based on dimensional analysis.
Solution:

L = (ML2T–2)a (M1L1T–2)bTc
L = Ma+b L2a+b T–2a–2b+c
a+b=0
2a + b = 1
–2a – 2b + c = 0
2a – a = 1
a=1
b = –1 and c = 0
∴ L = EaFbTc = E1F–1 or length = energy/force
(1 star meter) = (1 star joule)1 (1 star N)–1

36) Explain the question : Find hydrocarbon with same density as CO2.
Concept : This question is based on avogadro's law (equal moles mass).
Solution : According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and
pressure contain an equal number of moles, Since the 1L volumes of the hydrocarbon and
CO2 have the same mass ("weighs as much"), their molar masses must also be equal. The
molar mass of CO2 is 12 + (2 × 16) = 44 g/mol. We must find the hydrocarbon with a matching
molar mass. Checking the options: C3H8 = (3 × 13) + (8 × 1) = 36 + 8 = 44 g/mol. C2H6 = 30
g/mol. C2H4 = 28 g/mol. C3H6 = 52 g/mol. The hydrocarbon C3H8 matches the molar mass of
CO2.

Explanation:
Concept:
Solution:
A concentration of 20% w/w of NaOH means that in 100 g of solution, there are 20 g NaOH
solute and 80 g of water solvent (since 100 g of solution –
20 g solute = 80 g solvent).
1. Calculated moles of NaOH solute. The molar of mass of NaoH is 23(Na) + 16(O) + 1(H) =
40 g/mol.
Solution:
From NaCl : since NaCl → Na+ + Cl–, the moles of Cl– are equal to the moles of NaCl.
Moles of Cl– = 2 M × 4 L = 8 moles
From CaCl2 : Since CaCl2 → Ca2+ + 2Cl–, each mole of CaCl2 provides two moles of Cl–.
Moles of Cl– = 2 × (3 M × 1 L) = 6 moles
Total Moles : 8 + 6 = 14 moles of Cl–

shaded region is the entire set C from which the area common to A and B is not removed.
What is removed from C is the part of C that overlaps with A and the part of C that overlaps
with A and the part of C that overlaps with B, but the figure shows only the part of C that is
not in A or B.
Let's check the options :
1. A⋂B⋃C : This is not a standard operation. Assuming it means (A⋂B)⋃C. This would be the
entire set C along with the intersection of A and B. This is incorrect.
2. C – (A⋂B) : This removes only the common region of A and B from C. This leaves the entire
region of C except the small central part common to all three, and the part of C common with
A only, and the part of C common with B only. This is incorrect.
3. C – (B⋂C) : This removes the common region of B and C from C. The shaded region clearly
still includes the intersection of A and C. This is incorrect.
4. C – (A ⋃ B) : This represents the elements in C that are not in A or B.
• A ⋃ B is the entire area covered by the circles A and B.
• C – (A⋃B) is the part of C that does not overlap with A and does not overlap with B.
• In the figure, the shaded are is the part of C that is outside the union A and B, i.e., C minus
the area where C overlaps with A and C overlaps with B (both A⋂C and B ⋂ C).
• This precisely describes the shaded region, which is excluding (A⋂C) ⋃ (B⋂C), which is
equivalent to C – (A ⋃ B).
Calculation the region is x ∈C and ∉ (A ⋃ B). By definition of set difference, this is C – (A⋃B).

55) Explain Question : Calculate the equation of a line using the number of "only Hindi"
speakers as the x-intercept and "both language" speakers as the y-intercept.
Concept : Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion for two sets and the Intercept Form of a
straight line equation.
Solution :
n(E ∪ H) = 60
n(E) = 40
n(H) = 30
n(E ∪ H) = n(E) + n(H) – n(E ∩ H)
60 = 40 + 30 – n(E ∩ H)
n(E ∩ H) = 10
English and Hindi both = β = 10
only Hindi = α = n(H) – n(E ∩ H) = 30 – 10 = 20

60) Explain Question : In a population of 10,000, find the total number of families that buy
only Newspaper A based on given percentages for various combinations.
Concept : Percentage-based Cardinality of Sets and the formula for .
Solution :
n (A) = 40% of 10,000 = 4,000
n(B) = 20% of 10,000 = 2,000
n(C) = 10% of 10,000 = 1,000
n(A ∩ B) = 5% of 10,000 = 500
n(B ∩ C) = 3% of 10,000 = 300
n(C ∩ A) = 4% of 10,000 = 400
n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 2% of 10,000 = 200
n(A ∩ Bc ∩ Cc) = n[A ∩ (B ∪ C)c]
= n(A) – n[A ∩ (B ∪ C)] = n(A) – n [(A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)]
= n (A) – [n (A ∩ B) + n (A ∩ C) – n (A ∩ B ∩ C)]
= 4000 – [500 + 400 – 200] = 4000 – 700 = 3300.

63) Explain Question : Based on pandemic symptom data for 900 people, determine the total
number of individuals who have either zero symptoms or exactly one symptom.
Concept : Cardinality of Sets (three sets) and calculating "exactly one" and "at most one"
regions.
Solution :
n(U) = 900
Let A ≡ Fever, B ≡ Cough
C ≡ Breathing problem
∴ n(A) = 190, n(B) = 220, n(C) = 220
n(A ∪ B) = 330, n(B ∪ C) = 350,
n(A ∪ C) = 340, n (A ∩ B ∩ C) = 30
Now n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
⇒ 330 = 190 + 220 – n(A ∩ B)
⇒ n(A ∩ B) = 80
Similarly,
350 = 220 + 220 – n(B ∩ C)
⇒ n(B ∩ C) = 90
and 340 = 190 + 220 – n(A ∩ C)
⇒ n(A ∩ C) = 70
∴ n(A∪B∪C) = (190 + 220 + 220) – (80 + 90 + 70) + 30
= 660 – 240 = 420
⇒ Number of person without any symptom
= n (∪) – n(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= 900 – 420 = 480
Now, number of person suffering from exactly one symptom
= (n(A) + n(B) + n(C)) – 2(n(A ∩ B) + n(B ∩ C) + n(C ∩ A)) + 3n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
= (190 + 220 + 220) – 2(80 + 90 + 70) + 3(30)
= 630 – 480 + 90 = 240
∴ Number of person suffering from atmost one symotom
= 480 + 240 = 720
Final Answer : (C)
64) Explain Question : Determine how many men received medals in exactly two out of three
categories, given the totals for each category and the total unique winners.
Concept : Set Theory formula for the number of elements in "exactly two" regions of a three-
set Venn diagram.
Solution :
n(A) = 48, n(B) = 25, n(C) = 18
n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = 60
n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 5
n(A ∩ B) + n(B ∩ C) + n(C ∩ A)
= n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C) – n(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= 48 + 25 + 18 + 5 – 60 = 36
Now exactly two = 36 – 3(5) = 21

based on survey data for newspaper readership and advertisement viewing.
Concept : Conditional Probability and Weighted Averages in Sets
Solution : We find the size of the disjoint reading groups and sum the number of
advertisement viewers from each group.
Calculation : Assume n(U)=100. n(A)=25,n(B)=20,n(A∩B)=8.
Disjoint Reading Groups:
n(A∖B) (A only) =25−8=17.
n(B∖A) (B only) =20−8=12.
n(A∩B) (Both) =8.
Number of Ad Viewers:
From A only: 30% of 17=5.1.
From B only: 40% of 12=4.8.
From Both: 50% of 8=4.0.
n(Adv)=5.1+4.8+4.0=13.9
The percentage is 13.9%.

Concept : Set Difference Cardinality .
Solution :
n(A) = 150, n(B) = 250, n(A ∪ B) = 300
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
⇒ 300 = 150 + 250 – n(A ∩ B)
n(A ∩ B) = 100
n(A – B) = 50
n(B – A) = 150
Then,

72)
2x = z ...(1)
5y = (x + y) + 3(y + z)
x – y + 3z = 0 ...(2)
n(A ∪ B) = 10
x + y + z = 10 ...(3)
Put z = 2x in (2)
x – y + 3(2x) = 0
7x – y = 0
y = 7x
put z = 2x & y = 7x in (3)
x + 7x + 2x = 10
10x = 10, x = 1
⇒y=7&z=2
73) Explain Question : Find the sum of digits of the total number of unique members (k)
across three athletic teams.
Concept : Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion for three sets.
Solution :
Let C, H, F denote the sets of members who are on the cricket team, hockey team and football
team respectively.
Then we are given n(C) = 21, n(H) = 26, n(F) = 29
⇒ n(H ∩ C) = 14, (H ∩ F) = 15, n(F ∩ C) = 12
⇒ n(C ∩ H ∩ F) = 8
⇒ n(C ∪ H ∪ F) = n(C) + n(H) +n(F) –n(C ∩ H) –n(H ∩ F) –n(F ∩ C) + n(C ∩ H ∩ F
Hence, n(C ∪ H ∪ F) = (21 + 26 + 29) – (14 + 15 + 12) + 8 = 43
sum of digit = 4 + 3 = 7
