We will draw a Venn diagram consisting of 3 overlapping circles A, B, C and let the letters t,u,v,w,x,y,z indicate the number of elements that are in each of the 7 regions created by the overlapping circles.n(A) = t+u+w+x n(B) = u+v+x+y n(C) = w+x+y+z n(AᑎB) = u+x = 6 n(AᑎC) = w+x = 8 n(BᑎC) = x+y = 7 n(AᑎBᑎC) = x = 4 n(AᑌB) = t+u+v+w+x+y n(AᑌC) = t+u+w+x+y+z n(BᑌC) = u+v+w+x+y+z = 20 n(AᑌBᑌC) = t+u+v+w+x+y+z = 25 n(B-A) = v+y = 5 Only one of those given pieces of data consists of only one of the 7 regions. That one is n(AᑎBᑎC)= x = 4 so we will replace x by 4 in the region right in the middle. n(AᑎB) = u+x = 6 n(AᑎC) = w+x = 8 n(BᑎC) = x+y = 7 Since we know that n(AᑎB) = u+x = u+4 = 6 we know that u=2 so we replace u by 2 Also since we know that n(AᑎC) = w+x = w+4 = 8 we know that w=4 so we replace w by 4 Also since we know that n(BᑎC) = x+y = 4+y = 7 we know that y=3 so we replace y by 3 Now we are given that n(B-A) = v+y = 5 and since we know that v+y = 5, and y=3, v+3 = 5 and so v=2. So we replace v by 2 Now we know how many elements there are in B, n(B) = u+v+x+y = 2+2+4+3 = 11 So the cardinality of B is 11. Now since n(BᑌC) = u+v+w+x+y+z = 20, 2+2+4+4+3+z = 20, 15+z = 20 z = 5 So now we replace z by 5 and now we know the cardinality of C, because n(C) = w+x+y+z = 4+4+3+5 = 16 Since n(AᑌBᑌC) = t+u+v+w+x+y+z = 25, t+2+2+4+4+3+5 = 25 t+20 = 25 t = 5 So we replace t by 5 So now we know that the cardinality of A is n(A) = t+u+w+x = 5+2+4+4 = 15 Edwin
