Let A, B and C be sets such that $\phi \neq A \cap B \subseteq C$. Then which of the following statements is not true ?
(A) If (A – B) $\subseteq$ C, then A $\subseteq$ C
(B) B $\cap$ C $\neq$ $\phi$
(C) (C $\cup$ A) $\cap$ (C $\cup$ B) = C
(D) If (A – C) $\subseteq$ B, then A $\subseteq$ B

Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The question provides that $A \cap B \subseteq C$ and $A \cap B \neq \phi$. Analyzing each statement:

Statement A: If $(A - B) \subseteq C$, then $A \subseteq C$. This statement can be verified using Venn diagrams. If the part of A that is not in B is contained in C, then A is a subset of C.

Statement B: $B \cap C \neq \phi$. This means that the intersection of B and C is not empty. Given that $A\cap B \subseteq C$, this is true.

Statement C: $(C \cup A) \cap (C \cup B) = C$. Using the distributive property of sets, $(C \cup A) \cap (C \cup B) = C \cup (A \cap B)$. Since $A \cap B \subseteq C$, then $C \cup (A \cap B) = C$. So, this statement is true.

Statement D: If $(A - C) \subseteq B$, then $A \subseteq B$. This statement is NOT necessarily true. It is possible to have $A - C \subseteq B$, $A \cap B \subseteq C$ and $A \cap B \neq \phi$, but it does NOT require that $A \subseteq B$. This is because A can contain elements outside of B that are also outside of C.

Therefore, the statement that is not true is D.

Let $A = {1, 2, 3, ..., 100}$ and $R$ be a relation on $A$ such that $R = {(a, b) : a = 2b + 1}$. Let $(a_1, a_2), (a_2, a_3), (a_3, a_4), ..., (a_k, a_{k+1})$ be a sequence of $k$ elements of $R$ such that the second entry of an ordered pair is equal to the first entry of the next ordered pair. Then the largest integer k , for which such a sequence exists, is equal to :

Let $A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}$. Let $R$ be a relation on $A$ defined by $(x, y) \in R$ if and only if $\max{x, y} \in {3, 4}$. Then among the statements (S1): The number of elements in $R$ is $18$, and (S2): The relation $R$ is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
MCQ_SINGLE
Two newspapers A and B are published in a city. It is known that $25$% of the city populations reads A and $20$% reads B while $8$% reads both A and B. Further, $30$% of those who read A but not B look into advertisements and $40$% of those who read B but not A also look into advertisements, while $50$% of those who read both A and B look into advertisements. Then the percentage of the population who look into advertisement is :-

Let the relations $R_1$ and $R_2$ on the set $X = \{1, 2, 3, ..., 20\}$ be given by $R_1 = \{(x, y) : 2x - 3y = 2\}$ and $R_2 = \{(x, y) : -5x + 4y = 0\}$. If $M$ and $N$ be the minimum number of elements required to be added in $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, in order to make the relations symmetric, then $M + N$ equals
