Let A and B be two subsets of \(\xi = \{1, 2, 3, -------, 44, 45\}\) such that
\(A = \{x: x \text{ is divisible by } 3 \text{ and } 4\}\)
\(B = \{x: x \text{ is a perfect square number}\}\)
Then \(n(B - A)\) equals

  1. A \(9\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The universal set is \(\xi = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 45\}\). The set \(A\) contains numbers divisible by both \(3\) and \(4\), which means they are divisible by \(\text{LCM}(3, 4) = 12\). \(A = \{12, 24, 36\}\) The set \(B\) contains perfect square numbers up to \(45\).…
