View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option A

Step-by-step Solution:

Solution:

(A) Given: \( n(X) = 17, \; n(Y) = 23, \; n(X \cup Y) = 38 \). Using the formula: \[ n(X \cup Y) = n(X) + n(Y) - n(X \cap Y) \] \[ 38 = 17 + 23 - n(X \cap Y) \] \[ n(X \cap Y) = 2 \] Hence, matches with option (IV).

(B) Given: \( n(X) = 28, \; n(Y) = 32, \; n(X \cap Y) = 10 \). \[ n(X \cup Y) = 28 + 32 - 10 = 50 \] Hence, matches with option (III).

(C) Given: \( n(\overline{X}) = 10 \). Assuming universal set \( U \) has \( n(U) = 30 \), \[ n(X) = n(U) - n(\overline{X}) = 30 - 10 = 20 \] Hence, matches with option (I).

(D) Given: \( n(Y) = 20 \). If we divide the set \( Y \) into 2 equal parts, then: \[ n\!\left(\tfrac{Y}{2}\right) = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \] Hence, matches with option (II).

Final Matching:

(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Correct Answer: Option A
