In a Venn diagram, 24 elements are only in A, 31 are only in B, and 16 are in both A and B. What is n(A ∪ B)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 71
The union contains every element that is in A or in B, including the common region. The three given Venn regions are disjoint: only A has 24 elements, only B has 31, and A ∩ B has 16. Therefore, n(A ∪ B) = 24 + 31 + 16 = 71. We add the common region once, not twice, so option C is correct.
