Let $X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}$. The number of different ordered pairs $(Y, Z)$ that can be formed such that $Y \subseteq X$, $Z \subseteq X$ and $Y \cap Z$ is empty, is:
(A) $3^5$
(B) $2^5$
(C) $5^3$
(D) $5^2$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
For any element $x_i$ present in $X$, 4 cases arise while making subsets $Y$ and $Z$.

Case 1: $x_i \in Y, x_i \in Z \implies Y \cap Z \neq \emptyset$

Case 2: $x_i \in Y, x_i \notin Z \implies Y \cap Z = \emptyset$

Case 3: $x_i \notin Y, x_i \in Z \implies Y \cap Z = \emptyset$

Case 4: $x_i \notin Y, x_i \notin Z \implies Y \cap Z = \emptyset$

Therefore, for every element, the number of ways is $3$ for which $Y \cap Z = \emptyset$.

Thus, the total number of ways is $3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 3^5$ since the number of elements in set $X$ is $5$.

In a survey of 220 students of a higher secondary school, it was found that at least 125 and at most 130 students studied Mathematics; at least 85 and at most 95 studied Physics; at least 75 and at most 90 studied Chemistry; 30 studied both Physics and Chemistry; 50 studied both Chemistry and Mathematics; 40 studied both Mathematics and Physics and 10 studied none of these subjects. Let $m$ and $n$ respectively be the least and the most number of students who studied all the three subjects. Then $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}$ is equal to ___________.

Let $\mathrm{A}=\{-4,-3,-2,0,1,3,4\}$ and $\mathrm{R}=\left\{(a, b) \in \mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{A}: b=|a|\right.$ or $\left.b^{2}=a+1\right\}$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$. Then the minimum number of elements, that must be added to the relation $\mathrm{R}$ so that it becomes reflexive and symmetric, is __________

Let $X = R \times R$. Define a relation R on X as: $(a_1, b_1) R (a_2, b_2) \Leftrightarrow b_1 = b_2$ Statement I: $R$ is an equivalence relation. Statement II: For some $(a, b) \in X$, the set $S = \{(x, y) \in X : (x, y)R(a, b)\}$ represents a line parallel to $y = x$.
