If n(A) = 40, n(B) = 60, and n(A $\rm \cup$ B) = 80,

  1. Find the value of n (A $\rm \cap$ B).
  2. Draw a Venn diagram of the above information.

Solution

Given

$\rm n(A) = 40, n(B) = 60, n(A \cup B) = 80$

By using the formula for the union of two sets, we get

$\rm n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)$

$\rm or, n(A \cap B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cup B)$

$\rm or, n(A \cap B) = 40 + 60 - 80$ 

$\rm \therefore n(A \cap B) = 20$

Now, we show the above information in a Venn diagram.
