Example Question #1 : How To Find The Union Of A Venn Diagram

Given the Venn diagram below, which of the following does not belong to ?

                 13

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The symbol  stands for the union between two sets.  Therefore,  means the set of all numbers that are in either A or B.  Looking at our choices, the only number that isn't in either A, B, or both is 23.

Example Question #642 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

Venn_4

 

Let set , the set of all natural numbers.

 = { |  is a multiple of 6 }

 = { |  is a multiple of 9 }

Which of the following numbers would appear in the gray region of the Venn diagram?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The gray area represents the portion of  that is not in  - in other words, all multiples of 9 that are not also multiples of 6.

 

 

 

Therefore, 4,572, 3,438, and 8,544 can be eliminated.

, so 9,349 can be eliminated because it isn't a multiple of 9.

 and , so, as both a nonmultiple of 6 and a multiple of 9, 4.077 is the correct choice.
