Sets (Class 11 Mathematics ) - Summary

Notes

1. Set Representation
●​ Roster Form: Elements listed, separated by commas, enclosed in {}.​

○​ Example: A = {1, 2, 3, 4}​

●​ Set-Builder Form: Describes elements using a property.​

○​ Example: A = {x | x is a natural number < 5}​

2. Types of Sets
Type Definition

Finite Set It contains a finite number of elements.

Infinite Set It contains an infinite number of elements.

Null Set (Ø) Contains no elements.

Singleton Set Contains exactly one element.

Equal Sets Two sets with identical elements.

Equivalent Sets Two sets with the same number of elements.

Subset (⊆) A is a subset of B if every element of A is in B.

Power Set (P(A)) Set of all subsets of A, including Ø and A itself.

Universal Set (U) The set contains all objects under consideration.

3. Set Operations
Operation Symbol Meaning

Union A∪B All elements in A or B or both.

Intersection A∩B Common elements of A and


B.
Difference A-B Elements in A but not in B.

Complement A' Elements in U but not in A.

De Morgan's Laws

1.​ (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B'​

2.​ (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'​

4. Practical Problems & Venn Diagrams


1)Formula for counting elements: n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) -
n(A∩B)
2)For three sets: n(A∪B∪C)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)−n(A∩B)−n(B∩C)−n(A∩C)+n(A∩B∩C)n(A∪
B∪C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A ∩ B) - n(zB∩C) - n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩ C)

Flowchart: Operations on Sets

1.​ Identify Universal Set.​

2.​ Define given sets.​

3.​ Apply required operations (∪, ∩, - , ' ).​

4.​ Use Venn diagrams for visualization.​
