B
$(A - B) \cap (A - C)$
C
$A - B - C$
D
None of these
Section B — Integer Type
Question 11 — Integer answer
A three-set survey tracks reader metrics across three local newspapers ($A, B, C$): $40\%$ read $A$, $50\%$ read $B$, and $30\%$ read $C$. The pairs overlap by $15\%$ for $A \cap B$, $10\%$ for $B \cap C$, and $12\%$ for $A \cap C$. If $5\%$ of the readers read all three newspapers, find the integer percentage of the population that reads at least one newspaper.
Question 12 — Integer answer
Find the number of distinct elements inside the power set collection $\mathcal{P}(A)$ if set $A = \{1, 1, 2, 2, 3\}$.
Question 13 — Integer answer
Two sets are defined as $A = \{2, 4, 6\}$ and $B = \{x \in \mathbb{Z} : |x - 4| \le 2\}$. Find the cardinality of their intersection set $|A \cap B|$.
Section C — Assertion & Reasoning
Question 14 — Assertion / Reason
Assertion (A): The Distributive Law states that the intersection operation distributes over a union: $A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C)$.
Reason (R): Set algebra is fundamentally governed by the same axiomatic laws as boolean propositional logic, meaning dual distribution identities are preserved.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
A is false but R is true
Solution: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation.
Question 15 — Assertion / Reason
Assertion (A): If $A \triangle B = \emptyset$, then the two sets $A$ and $B$ must be completely identical ($A = B$).
Reason (R): The symmetric difference captures elements that belong to exactly one of the sets, so a result of $\emptyset$ means no elements belong to one set without also belonging to the other.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C
A is true but R is false
D
A is false but R is true
Solution: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation.
