1.9 Venn Diagrams

Most of the relationships between sets can be represented by means of diagrams known as Venn diagrams^?. These diagrams are named after the English logician John Venn (1834–1883). In Venn diagrams, the universal set is represented by a rectangle and its subsets by circles (or closed curves) drawn inside the rectangle.

Fig 1.2 — Venn diagram: U = {1, 2, ..., 10}, A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} is a subset of U

Fig 1.3 — Venn diagram: B = {4, 6} is a subset of A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}, and also B ⊂ A

The reader will see an extensive use of Venn diagrams when we discuss the union, intersection and difference of sets.

1.10 Operations on Sets

In earlier classes, we learned how to perform the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on numbers. Each of these operations was performed on a pair of numbers to get another number. Similarly, there are some operations which when performed on two sets give rise to another set. We now define certain operations on sets and examine their properties.

1.10.1 Union of Sets

Definition

Let A and B be any two sets. The union^? of A and B is the set which consists of all the elements of A and all the elements of B, the common elements being taken only once. The symbol '\(\cup\)' is used to denote the union. Symbolically, we write: \[A \cup B = \{x : x \in A \text{ or } x \in B\}\]

Example 12

Let \(A = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}\) and \(B = \{6, 8, 10, 12\}\). Find \(A \cup B\).

Solution

We have \(A \cup B = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12\}\). Note that the common elements 6 and 8 have been taken only once while writing \(A \cup B\).

Example 13

Let \(A = \{a, e, i, o, u\}\) and \(B = \{a, i, u\}\). Show that \(A \cup B = A\).

Solution

We have, \(A \cup B = \{a, e, i, o, u\} = A\). This example illustrates that the union of a set and its subset is the set itself, i.e., if \(B \subset A\), then \(A \cup B = A\).

Example 14

Let X = {Ram, Geeta, Akbar} be the set of students of Class XI who are in the school hockey team. Let Y = {Geeta, David, Ashok} be the set of students from Class XI who are in the school football team. Find \(X \cup Y\) and interpret the set.

Solution

We have, \(X \cup Y = \{\text{Ram, Geeta, Akbar, David, Ashok}\}\). This is the set of students from Class XI who are in the hockey team or the football team or both.

Fig 1.4 — The shaded region represents \(A \cup B\)

Properties of Union

\(A \cup B = B \cup A\) (Commutative law)
\((A \cup B) \cup C = A \cup (B \cup C)\) (Associative law)
\(A \cup \emptyset = A\) (Law of identity element; \(\emptyset\) is the identity of \(\cup\))
\(A \cup A = A\) (Idempotent law)
\(U \cup A = U\) (Law of U)

1.10.2 Intersection of Sets

Definition

The intersection^? of sets A and B is the set of all those elements which belong to both A and B. The symbol '\(\cap\)' is used to denote the intersection. Symbolically, we write: \[A \cap B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \in B\}\]

Example 15

Consider the sets A and B of Example 12. Find \(A \cap B\).

Solution

We see that 6, 8 are the only elements which are common to both A and B. Hence \(A \cap B = \{6, 8\}\).

Example 16

Consider the sets X and Y of Example 14. Find \(X \cap Y\).

Solution

We see that element 'Geeta' is the only element common to both. Hence, \(X \cap Y = \{\text{Geeta}\}\).

Example 17

Let \(A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}\) and \(B = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}\). Find \(A \cap B\) and hence show that \(A \cap B = B\).

Solution

We have \(A \cap B = \{2, 3, 5, 7\} = B\). We note that \(B \subset A\) and that \(A \cap B = B\).

Fig 1.5 — The shaded region represents \(A \cap B\)

Definition — Disjoint Sets

If \(A \cap B = \emptyset\), then A and B are called disjoint sets^?. For example, let \(A = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}\) and \(B = \{1, 3, 5, 7\}\). Then A and B are disjoint sets because there are no elements which are common to A and B.

Fig 1.6 — Disjoint sets: \(A \cap B = \emptyset\)

Properties of Intersection

\(A \cap B = B \cap A\) (Commutative law)
\((A \cap B) \cap C = A \cap (B \cap C)\) (Associative law)
\(\emptyset \cap A = \emptyset\), \(U \cap A = A\) (Law of \(\emptyset\) and U)
\(A \cap A = A\) (Idempotent law)
\(A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C)\) (Distributive law — \(\cap\) distributes over \(\cup\))

1.10.3 Difference of Sets

Definition

The difference^? of the sets A and B in this order is the set of elements which belong to A but not to B. Symbolically, we write \(A - B\) and read as "A minus B." \[A - B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \notin B\}\]

Example 18

Let \(A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\), \(B = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}\). Find \(A - B\) and \(B - A\).

Solution

We have, \(A - B = \{1, 3, 5\}\), since the elements 1, 3, 5 belong to A but not to B, and \(B - A = \{8\}\), since the element 8 belongs to B but not to A. We note that \(A - B \neq B - A\).

Example 19

Let \(V = \{a, e, i, o, u\}\) and \(B = \{a, i, k, u\}\). Find \(V - B\) and \(B - V\).

Solution

We have, \(V - B = \{e, o\}\), since the elements \(e, o\) belong to V but not to B, and \(B - V = \{k\}\), since the element \(k\) belongs to B but not to V. We note that \(V - B \neq B - V\).

Fig 1.8 — The shaded region represents \(A - B\)

Remark

The sets \(A - B\), \(A \cap B\) and \(B - A\) are mutually disjoint sets, i.e., the intersection of any of these two sets is the null set.

1.11 Complement of a Set

Let U be the universal set which consists of all those prime numbers that are not divisors of 42. Thus, \(A = \{x : x \in U \text{ and } x \text{ is not a divisor of } 42\}\). We see that 2 is a divisor of 42. Similarly, 3 is a divisor of 42, and 7 is a divisor of 42. Now 2, 3 and 7 are the only elements of U which do not belong to A. The set \(\{2, 3, 7\}\) is called the Complement^? of A with respect to U.

Definition

Let U be the universal set and A a subset of U. Then the complement of A is the set of all elements of U which are not the elements of A. Symbolically, we write \(A'\) to denote the complement of A with respect to U. Thus, \[A' = \{x : x \in U \text{ and } x \notin A\}\] Obviously, \(A' = U - A\).

Example 20

Let \(U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}\) and \(A = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9\}\). Find \(A'\).

Solution

We note that 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 are the only elements of U which do not belong to A. Hence \(A' = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}\).

Example 21

Let U be the universal set of all the students of Class XI of a coeducational school and A be the set of all girls in Class XI. Find \(A'\).

Solution

Since A is the set of all girls, \(A'\) is clearly the set of all boys in the class.

Note

If A is a subset of the universal set U, then its complement \(A'\) is also a subset of U. Again, in Example 20, \(A' = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}\). Hence \((A')' = \{x : x \in U \text{ and } x \notin A'\} = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9\} = A\). It is clear that for any subset of the universal set U, we have \((A')' = A\).

Example 22 — De Morgan's Laws in Action

Let \(U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\), \(A = \{2, 3\}\) and \(B = \{3, 4, 5\}\). Find \(A'\), \(B'\), \(A' \cap B'\), \(A \cup B\) and hence show that \((A \cup B)' = A' \cap B'\).

Solution

Clearly \(A' = \{1, 4, 5, 6\}\), \(B' = \{1, 2, 6\}\).
Hence \(A' \cap B' = \{1, 6\}\).
Also \(A \cup B = \{2, 3, 4, 5\}\), so \((A \cup B)' = \{1, 6\}\).
Therefore, \((A \cup B)' = A' \cap B'\). This verifies De Morgan's Law.

Fig 1.10 — The shaded region (outside circle, inside rectangle) represents \(A'\)

Properties of Complement

Complement laws: (i) \(A \cup A' = U\) (ii) \(A \cap A' = \emptyset\)
De Morgan's laws: (i) \((A \cup B)' = A' \cap B'\) (ii) \((A \cap B)' = A' \cup B'\)
Law of double complementation: \((A')' = A\)
Laws of empty set and universal set: \(\emptyset' = U\) and \(U' = \emptyset\)

Q5. Find the intersection of each pair of sets of Q1 above.

(i) \(X \cap Y = \{1, 3\}\) (ii) \(A \cap B = \{a\}\) (iii) \(A \cap B = \{3\}\) (only 3 is a multiple of 3 AND less than 6 that is in both)
(iv) \(A \cap B = \emptyset\) (A goes up to 6, B starts from 7; but wait — \(A = \{2,3,4,5,6\}\) and \(B = \{7,8,9\}\), so indeed \(A \cap B = \emptyset\))
(v) \(A \cap B = \{1, 2, 3\} \cap \emptyset = \emptyset\)

Q6. If \(A = \{3, 5, 7, 9, 11\}\), \(B = \{7, 9, 11, 13\}\), \(C = \{11, 13, 15\}\) and \(D = \{15, 17\}\), find:

Activity: Visualising De Morgan's Laws

Predict: If you shade \((A \cup B)'\) and separately shade \(A' \cap B'\) on two Venn diagrams, will they look the same?

Draw two identical Venn diagrams: a rectangle U containing two overlapping circles A and B.
On the first diagram, shade everything OUTSIDE both circles. This is \((A \cup B)'\).
On the second diagram, first shade \(A'\) (everything outside A) lightly, then shade \(B'\) (everything outside B) lightly. The region where BOTH shadings overlap is \(A' \cap B'\).
Compare the two diagrams. Are the shaded regions identical?
Repeat for the second De Morgan's law: compare \((A \cap B)'\) with \(A' \cup B'\).

Observe: Both diagrams give exactly the same shaded region! This visually confirms De Morgan's first law: \((A \cup B)' = A' \cap B'\).

Explain: An element is outside \(A \cup B\) if and only if it is outside A AND outside B. "Not in A or B" means "not in A" AND "not in B".

Competency-Based Questions

In a school survey of 200 students, let M = set of students who like Mathematics (120 students) and S = set of students who like Science (90 students). It is found that 40 students like both Mathematics and Science. The universal set U is the entire class of 200 students.

Q1. Using set operations, calculate the number of students who like Mathematics or Science (or both). Also determine how many students like neither subject. Express your working using union and complement notation.

L3 Apply

Using the formula: \(n(M \cup S) = n(M) + n(S) - n(M \cap S) = 120 + 90 - 40 = 170\).
Students who like at least one subject: 170.
Students who like neither: \(n((M \cup S)') = n(U) - n(M \cup S) = 200 - 170 = \mathbf{30}\).

Q2. Analyse: What does the set \(M - S\) represent in the context of this survey? Calculate \(n(M - S)\) and \(n(S - M)\). Verify that \(n(M - S) + n(M \cap S) + n(S - M) + n((M \cup S)') = n(U)\).

L4 Analyse

\(M - S\) represents students who like Mathematics but NOT Science (Maths only).
\(n(M - S) = n(M) - n(M \cap S) = 120 - 40 = 80\).
\(n(S - M) = n(S) - n(M \cap S) = 90 - 40 = 50\).
Verification: \(80 + 40 + 50 + 30 = 200 = n(U)\). The four disjoint regions (M only, both, S only, neither) partition U.

Q3. A teacher claims: "Since \(n(M \cap S) = 40\), exactly 20% of all students like both subjects." Evaluate whether this percentage is meaningful for comparing to another school where U = 500 and \(n(M \cap S) = 80\). Which school has a stronger overlap between Maths and Science interest?

L5 Evaluate

School 1: \(\frac{40}{200} = 20\%\) of total like both. School 2: \(\frac{80}{500} = 16\%\) of total like both. By this metric, School 1 has a stronger overlap (20% vs 16%). However, a more meaningful comparison would be the Jaccard index: \(\frac{n(M \cap S)}{n(M \cup S)}\). School 1: \(\frac{40}{170} \approx 23.5\%\). For School 2, we would need \(n(M \cup S)\). The teacher's claim is correct for one school, but comparison requires consistent metrics.

Q4. Design a Venn diagram-based dashboard for the school that shows all four regions (M only, S only, both, neither) with their student counts. Then propose a formula using set operations to calculate the number of students to invite to a "STEM Fair" that targets students who like at least one of Maths or Science.

L6 Create

Dashboard regions:
M only: \(n(M - S) = 80\) students
Both: \(n(M \cap S) = 40\) students
S only: \(n(S - M) = 50\) students
Neither: \(n((M \cup S)') = 30\) students
Total: 80 + 40 + 50 + 30 = 200.

STEM Fair formula: Invite = \(M \cup S\). Number to invite = \(n(M \cup S) = n(M) + n(S) - n(M \cap S) = 120 + 90 - 40 = 170\). Send invitations to 170 students.

Assertion–Reason Questions

Assertion (A): \((A \cup B)' = A' \cap B'\)
Reason (R): This is De Morgan's first law and it holds for all sets A, B with respect to a universal set U.

(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(c) A is true but R is false.

(d) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (a) — Both statements are true and R directly names and validates A as De Morgan's first law.

Assertion (A): If \(A = \{1, 2\}\) and \(B = \{2, 3\}\), then \(A - B = B - A\).
Reason (R): The difference of sets is not commutative in general; \(A - B \neq B - A\) unless \(A = B\).

(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(c) A is true but R is false.

(d) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (d) — A is false: \(A - B = \{1\}\) and \(B - A = \{3\}\), so they are unequal. R is true: set difference is indeed not commutative. R correctly explains why A is false.

Assertion (A): \(A \cap A' = \emptyset\)
Reason (R): An element cannot simultaneously belong to a set and its complement.

(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(c) A is true but R is false.

(d) A is false but R is true.

Answer: (a) — Both true. If \(x \in A\), then \(x \notin A'\) by definition. So no element can be in both, making the intersection empty. R is the direct reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic operations on sets?

The basic set operations are union (elements in A or B or both), intersection (elements common to both), difference (elements in A but not in B), and complement (elements not in A). These are visualized using Venn diagrams.

What is a Venn diagram?

A Venn diagram is a visual representation of sets using circles inside a rectangle representing the universal set. Overlapping regions show common elements. Named after John Venn, they help visualize set operations.

What are De Morgan Laws in set theory?

De Morgan Laws state: the complement of A union B equals A-complement intersection B-complement, and the complement of A intersection B equals A-complement union B-complement.

What is the complement of a set?

The complement of set A with respect to universal set U is the set of all elements in U that are not in A. For example, if U = {1,2,3,4,5} and A = {1,3,5}, then A-complement = {2,4}.

How do you solve problems using Venn diagrams?

Draw the universal set as a rectangle, draw circles for each set, fill in the intersection region first, then remaining regions. Use the formula n(A union B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A intersection B).
