Each set Xr contains 5 elements and each set Yr contains 2 elements and ⋃Xr(for r=1 to 20) =S=⋃Yr(for r=1 to n). If each element of S belong to exactly 10 of the Xr’s and to exactly 4 of the Yr’s, then n is(A) 10 (B) 20 (C) 100 (D) 50

Answer»

The correct answer is (B)

Since, n(Xr) = 5, ⋃Xr(for r=1 to 20)=S, we get n(S) = 100

But each element of S belong to exactly 10 of the Xr’s

So, 100/10 = 10 are the number of distinct elements in S.

Also each element of S belong to exactly 4 of the Yr’ s and each Yr contain 2 elements. If S has n number of Yr in it. Then

2n/4 = 10

which gives n = 20
