JEE Main 2022 — Sets And Relations Question with Solution

$$\because$$ $$(B\cup C{)}^{\prime }=B^{\prime }\cap C^{\prime }$$

B' is a set containing sub sets of A containing element 1 and not containing 2.

And C' is a set containing subsets of A whose sum of elements is not prime.

So, we need to calculate number of subsets of {3, 4, 5, 6, 7} whose sum of elements plus 1 is composite.

Number of such 5 elements subset = 1

Number of such 4 elements subset = 3 (except selecting 3 or 7)

Number of such 3 elements subset = 6 (except selecting {3, 4, 5}, {3, 6, 7}, {4, 5, 7} or {5, 6, 7})

Number of such 2 elements subset = 7 (except selecting {3, 7}, {4, 6}, {5, 7})

Number of such 1 elements subset = 3 (except selecting {4} or {6})

Number of such 0 elements subset = 1

$$n(B^{\prime }\cap C^{\prime })=21\Rightarrow n(B\cup C)=2^7-21=107$$
