If X and Y are two sets such that X ∪ Y has 18 elements, X has 8 elements, and Y has 15 elements, how many elements does X ∩ Y have?

Question

Accepted Answer

Given in the question , n(X ∪Y) = 18, n(X) = 8, n(Y) = 15. Using the formula n(X ∩ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) – n(X ∪ Y), we get n(X ∩ Y) = 8 + 15 – 18 = 5.
