Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2020 PYQ

Solution

If A ⊆ B and B ⊆ C, then find the cardinality of A ∪ B ∪ C.

Explanation

  • Since A is a subset of B, everything in A is already in B.
  • Since B is a subset of C, everything in B (and hence A) is already in C.
  • Therefore, A ∪ B ∪ C = C.

✅ Final Answer

|A ∪ B ∪ C| = |C|


NIMCET PYQ
Let R be reflexive relation on the finite set a having 10 elements and if m is the number of ordered pair in R, then





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2023 PYQ

Solution

Explanation

  • Total possible ordered pairs on a set of 10 elements = 10² = 100.
  • A reflexive relation must include all pairs of the form (a,a) for all a ∈ A.
  • Thus, at least 10 pairs must be in R ⇒ m ≥ 10.
  • The maximum relation is the universal relation with all 100 pairs ⇒ m ≤ 100.

✅ Final Answer

The number of ordered pairs m can take any value in the range:
10 ≤ m ≤ 100


NIMCET PYQ
Number of real solutions of the equation $\sin\!\left(e^x\right) = 5^x + 5^{-x}$ is





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2019 PYQ

Solution

Number of real solutions

Equation: $$\sin\!\left(e^x\right) \;=\; 5^x + 5^{-x}$$

Reasoning

  • For all real \(x\), \(\sin(e^x)\in[-1,1]\).
  • By AM–GM, \(5^x + 5^{-x} \ge 2\) (with equality only when \(5^x=5^{-x}\Rightarrow x=0\)).
  • At \(x=0\): LHS \(=\sin(1)\approx 0.84\), RHS \(=2\) ⇒ not equal.
  • Hence RHS is always \(\ge 2\) while LHS is always \(\le 1\) → they can never match.

✅ Conclusion

No real solution (number of real solutions = 0).


NIMCET PYQ
Inverse of the function $f(x)=\frac{10^x-10^{-x}}{10^{x}+10^{-x}}$ is 





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2022 PYQ

Solution

Let \( y = \dfrac{10^x - 10^{-x}}{10^x + 10^{-x}} \).

Multiply numerator and denominator by \(10^x\): \( y = \dfrac{10^{2x} - 1}{10^{2x} + 1} \).

Put \( t = 10^{2x} \), then \( y = \dfrac{t-1}{t+1} \). Solving, \( t = \dfrac{1+y}{1-y} \).

Hence, \( 10^{2x} = \dfrac{1+y}{1-y} \). Taking log base 10: \( 2x = \log_{10}\!\Big(\dfrac{1+y}{1-y}\Big) \).

✅ Final Answer

The inverse function is:
\[ f^{-1}(y) = \tfrac{1}{2}\,\log_{10}\!\left(\dfrac{1+y}{1-y}\right), \quad |y|<1 \]


NIMCET PYQ
Find the number of elements in the union of 4 sets A, B, C and D having 150, 180, 210 and 240 elements respectively, given that each pair of sets has 15 elements in common. Each triple of sets has 3 elements in common and $A \cap B \cap C \cap D = \phi$





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2013 PYQ

Solution

Given: \(|A|=150,\ |B|=180,\ |C|=210,\ |D|=240\); every pair has 15 common elements; every triple has 3 common elements; and \(A\cap B\cap C\cap D=\varnothing\).

Use Inclusion–Exclusion for 4 sets:

\[ \begin{aligned} |A\cup B\cup C\cup D| &= \sum |A_i| \;-\; \sum |A_i\cap A_j| \;+\; \sum |A_i\cap A_j\cap A_k| \;-\; |A\cap B\cap C\cap D|\\ &= (150+180+210+240)\;-\; \binom{4}{2}\cdot 15 \;+\; \binom{4}{3}\cdot 3 \;-\; 0\\ &= 780 \;-\; 6\cdot 15 \;+\; 4\cdot 3\\ &= 780 - 90 + 12\\ &= \boxed{702}. \end{aligned} \]

Answer: 702


NIMCET PYQ
Suppose A1, A2, ... 30 are thirty sets, each with five elements and B1, B2, ...., Bn are n sets each with three elements. Let $\bigcup_{i=1}^{30} A_i= \bigcup_{j=1}^{n} Bj= S$. If each element of S belongs to exactly ten of the Ai' s and exactly nine of the Bj' s then n=





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2019 PYQ

Solution

Let \(|S|=m\).

Count incidences via the \(A_i\): There are 30 sets each of size 5, so total memberships \(=30\times 5=150\). Each element of \(S\) lies in exactly 10 of the \(A_i\), so also \(= m\times 10\). Hence \(m=\dfrac{150}{10}=15\).

Count incidences via the \(B_j\): There are \(n\) sets each of size 3, so total memberships \(=n\times 3\). Each element of \(S\) lies in exactly 9 of the \(B_j\), so also \(= m\times 9 = 15\times 9=135\).

Thus \(n\times 3=135 \Rightarrow n=\dfrac{135}{3}=\boxed{45}.\)


NIMCET PYQ
Find the cardinality of the set C which is defined as $C={\{x|\, \sin 4x=\frac{1}{2}\, forx\in(-9\pi,3\pi)}\}$.





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2024 PYQ

Solution

We are given:

\[ \sin(4x) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad x \in (-9\pi,\ 3\pi) \]

General solutions for \( \sin(θ) = \frac{1}{2} \)

\[ θ = \frac{\pi}{6} + 2n\pi \quad \text{or} \quad θ = \frac{5\pi}{6} + 2n\pi \]

Let \( θ = 4x \), so we get:

  • \( x = \frac{\pi}{24} + \frac{n\pi}{2} \)
  • \( x = \frac{5\pi}{24} + \frac{n\pi}{2} \)

Count how many such \( x \) fall in the interval \( (-9\pi, 3\pi) \)

By checking all possible \( n \) values, we find:

  • For \( x = \frac{\pi}{24} + \frac{n\pi}{2} \): 24 valid values
  • For \( x = \frac{5\pi}{24} + \frac{n\pi}{2} \): 24 valid values

Total distinct values = 24 + 24 = 48

✅ Final Answer: $\boxed{48}$


NIMCET PYQ
A survey is done among a population of 200 people who like either tea or coffee. It is found that 60% of the pop lation like tea and 72% of the population like coffee. Let $x$ be the number of people who like both tea & coffee. Let $m{\leq x\leq n}$, then choose the correct option.





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2022 PYQ

Solution

Total people = 200
People who like tea = \(60\% \times 200 = 120\)
People who like coffee = \(72\% \times 200 = 144\)

Using the set formula: \[ |T \cup C| = |T| + |C| - |T \cap C| \] \[ 200 = 120 + 144 - x \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 64 \]

Minimum possible intersection: \[ x \geq |T| + |C| - 200 = 64 \] Maximum possible intersection: \[ x \leq \min(120,144) = 120 \]

✅ Final Answer

The range of \(x\) is: 64 ≤ x ≤ 120 Hence, \(m = 64, \; n = 120\).


NIMCET PYQ
Let Z be the set of all integers, and consider the sets $X=\{(x,y)\colon{x}^2+2{y}^2=3,\, x,y\in Z\}$ and $Y=\{(x,y)\colon x{\gt}y,\, x,y\in Z\}$. Then the number of elements in $X\cap Y$ is:

Solutions to the equation are: $$\{(1,1), (1,-1), (-1,1), (-1,-1)\}$$

Among them, only \( (1, -1) \) satisfies \( x > y \).

Answer: $$\boxed{1}$$


NIMCET PYQ
Out of a group of 50 students taking examinations in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, 37 students passed Mathematics, 24 passed Physics, and 43 passed Chemistry. Additionally, no more than 19 students passed both Mathematics and Physics, no more than 29 passed both Mathematics and Chemistry, and no more than 20 passed both Physics and Chemistry. What is the maximum number of students who could have passed all three examinations?





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2024 PYQ

Solution

Maximum Students Passing All Three Exams

Given:

  • Total students = 50
  • \( |M| = 37 \), \( |P| = 24 \), \( |C| = 43 \)
  • \( |M \cap P| \leq 19 \), \( |M \cap C| \leq 29 \), \( |P \cap C| \leq 20 \)

We use the inclusion-exclusion principle:

\[ |M \cup P \cup C| = |M| + |P| + |C| - |M \cap P| - |M \cap C| - |P \cap C| + |M \cap P \cap C| \]

Let \( x = |M \cap P \cap C| \). Then:

\[ 50 \geq 37 + 24 + 43 - 19 - 29 - 20 + x \Rightarrow 50 \geq 36 + x \Rightarrow x \leq 14 \]

✅ Final Answer: \(\boxed{14}\)

Intersections (inclusive): \(|M\cap L|=7,\ |M\cap B|=10,\ |B\cap L|=8,\ |M\cap B\cap L|=5\).

Compute “only” counts:

\(\displaystyle |M\ \text{only}|=|M|-|M\cap B|-|M\cap L|+|M\cap B\cap L|=32-10-7+5=20\)
\(\displaystyle |B\ \text{only}|=|B|-|M\cap B|-|B\cap L|+|M\cap B\cap L|=38-10-8+5=25\)
\(\displaystyle |L\ \text{only}|=|L|-|M\cap L|-|B\cap L|+|M\cap B\cap L|=30-7-8+5=20\)

Exactly one subject: \(20+25+20=\boxed{65}\).

Solution

Given: \(A=\{1,2,3,4\}\), \(B=\{3,4,5\}\)

\(A\cup B=\{1,2,3,4,5\}\Rightarrow |A\cup B|=5\)
\(A\cap B=\{3,4\}\Rightarrow |A\cap B|=2\)
\(A\triangle B=(A\cup B)\setminus(A\cap B)=\{1,2,5\}\Rightarrow |A\triangle B|=3\)

Size of Cartesian product: \(|(A\cup B)\times(A\cap B)\times(A\triangle B)| = 5\times 2\times 3 = \mathbf{30}\).

Then $n=$





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2021 PYQ

Solution

Let \(|S|=m\).

Count incidences via the \(A_i\): There are 30 sets each of size 5, so total memberships \(=30\times 5=150\). Each element of \(S\) lies in exactly 10 of the \(A_i\), so also \(= m\times 10\). Hence \(m=\dfrac{150}{10}=15\).

Count incidences via the \(B_j\): There are \(n\) sets each of size 3, so total memberships \(=n\times 3\). Each element of \(S\) lies in exactly 9 of the \(B_j\), so also \(= m\times 9 = 15\times 9=135\).

Thus \(n\times 3=135 \Rightarrow n=\dfrac{135}{3}=\boxed{45}.\)

The number of elements in the power set P(S) of the set S = {2, (1, 4)} is





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2017 PYQ

Solution

Given: \( S = \{2, (1,4)\} \)

Here, the set \(S\) has two elements:

  • The number \(2\)
  • The ordered pair \((1,4)\)

Hence, \(|S| = 2\).

Formula: The number of elements in the power set of a set having \(n\) elements is \(2^n\).

\[ |P(S)| = 2^{|S|} = 2^2 = 4 \]

✅ Therefore, the number of elements in \(P(S)\) is 4.

NIMCET PYQ
In a class of 50 students, it was found that 30 students read "Hitava", 35 students read "Hindustan" and 10 read neither. How many students read both: "Hitavad" and "Hindustan" newspapers?





Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2020 PYQ

Solution

Given: Total students = 50, read “Hitava/Hitavad” = 30, read “Hindustan” = 35, read neither = 10.

At least one: \(50 - 10 = 40\).

By inclusion–exclusion:

\(|H| + |N| - |H \cap N| = |H \cup N| = 40\)
\(30 + 35 - |H \cap N| = 40 \Rightarrow 65 - |H \cap N| = 40\)
\(|H \cap N| = 25\)

Answer: 25 students read both newspapers.

Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2020 PYQ

Solution

Given: \(A = \{x, y, z\}\)

Step 1: Find the number of subsets of \(A\):

If a set has \(n\) elements, its power set has \(2^n\) subsets.

\(|A| = 3 \Rightarrow |P(A)| = 2^3 = 8.\)

Step 2: Now we need the number of subsets of \(P(A)\), i.e. the power set of the power set.

So, \(|P(P(A))| = 2^{|P(A)|} = 2^8 = \boxed{256}.\)

✅ Final Answer: 256

Solution

Sets: \(A=\{(x,y)\mid y=\tfrac{1}{x},\ x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}\}\), \(B=\{(x,y)\mid y=-x,\ x\in\mathbb{R}\}\).

Intersection: Solve \( \frac{1}{x} = -x \) with \(x\neq 0\). \[ \frac{1}{x} = -x \;\Longrightarrow\; 1 = -x^2 \;\Longrightarrow\; x^2 = -1, \] which has no real solution.

Conclusion: \(A \cap B = \varnothing\) (they are disjoint in \(\mathbb{R}^2\)).

Note: Over complex numbers, the intersection would be at \(x=\pm i\), but for real \(x\), there is none.

Go to Discussion

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2015 PYQ

Solution

Expression: \((P - Q) \cup (Q - P) \cup (P \cap Q)\)

Recall: \(P - Q = P \cap \bar{Q}\) and \(Q - P = Q \cap \bar{P}\).

Thus the union consists of three mutually exclusive parts:

  • Elements only in \(P\): \(P \cap \bar{Q}\)
  • Elements only in \(Q\): \(Q \cap \bar{P}\)
  • Elements in both: \(P \cap Q\)

The union of these three pieces is precisely all elements that are in \(P\) or \(Q\):

\((P - Q) \cup (Q - P) \cup (P \cap Q) = P \cup Q\).

Solution

Given: Total books = 24, and books with compilers \(n(P)=8\).

Asked: Number of books with no material on compilers = \(|P'|\).

\[ |P'| = \text{Total} - |P| = 24 - 8 = \boxed{16}. \]

Note: The other intersection counts aren’t needed since “no compilers” depends only on \(n(P)\).

Solution

Given: \(A\cap X=\varnothing,\; B\cap X=\varnothing\) and \(A\cup X = B\cup X\).

Since \(A\cap X=\varnothing\), the union is a disjoint union, so \[ A = (A\cup X)\setminus X. \] Similarly, \(B = (B\cup X)\setminus X.\)

But \(A\cup X = B\cup X\). Hence \[ A = (A\cup X)\setminus X = (B\cup X)\setminus X = B. \]
