01 In a class, n(U) = 50, n(A) = 28, n(B) = 22, and n(A ∩ B) = 10. What is n(A ∪ B)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 40
Explanation: For two finite sets, the union formula is n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A ∩ B). Substituting the given values gives 28 + 22 − 10 = 40. The intersection is subtracted once because its elements were counted in both n(A) and n(B). Thus, the number of students in at least one of the two sets is 40.
