If U has n elements and A has r elements, how many elements are in A′?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: n − r

A′ consists of all elements of the universal set U that do not belong to A. Assuming A ⊆ U, the elements of U are divided into two disjoint parts: A and A′. Hence, |U| = |A| + |A′|, so n = r + |A′|. Rearranging gives |A′| = n − r. Thus option B is correct.
