In a universal set U with n(U) = 600, two subsets A and B satisfy: n(A) = 200, n(A∩B) = 100, and n(A^c ∩ B^c) = 200. Find n(A^c ∩ B).

  1. 100
  2. 150
  3. 200
  4. 300

Correct answer: 200

Solution

By De Morgan: n(A^c ∩ B^c) = n(U) - n(A∪B) -> n(A∪B) = 600 - 200 = 400. From inclusion-exclusion: n(B) = n(A∪B) - n(A) + n(A∩B) = 400 - 200 + 100 = 300. Finally, n(A^c ∩ B) = n(B) - n(A∩B) = 300 - 100 = 200.
