11. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Let A be the event of getting sum less than 4 and B be the event of getting sum not more than 4. Find set “A or B”.
a) {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
b) {}
c) {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
d) {(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)}
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: A = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
B= {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
“A or B” contains elements of either A or B or both.
So, A or B = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}.

12. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Let A be the event of getting sum less than 4 and B be the event of getting sum not more than 4. Find set “A and B”.
a) {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
b) {}
c) {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
d) {(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)}
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
B= {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
“A and B” contains elements present in both A and B.
So, A and B = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}.

13. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Let A be the event of getting sum less than 4 and B be the event of getting sum not more than 4. Find set “A and not B”.
a) {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
b) {}
c) {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
d) {(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)}
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
B= {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
“A and not B” contains elements which are in A but not in B.
So, A and not B = {}.

14. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Let A be the event of getting sum less than 4 and B be the event of getting sum not more than 4. Find set “B and not A”.
a) {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
b) {}
c) {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
d) {(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)}
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: A = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)}
B= {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1)}
“B and not A” contains elements which are in B but not in A.
So, B and not A = {(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)}.
