Preparing for school exams or final CBSE boards requires practicing questions patterned after official grading schemes. We have compiled a list of crucial questions for Class 11 Sets to help you test your mastery.

Exam-Pattern Questions and Answers

Question 1 (EASY)

The number of subsets of a set containing n elements is
  • Option 1: 2n
  • Option 2: 2n - 1
  • Option 3: 2n - 1
  • Option 4: nn

Solution Explanation & Steps: (a), if a set contains n elements then there are 2n subsets of the set.

Question 2 (EASY)

Let S = set of all points inside the square, T = the set of points inside the triangle and C = the set of points inside the circle. If the triangle and circle intersect each other and are contained in a square. Then
  • Option 1: S ∩ T ∩ C = ϕ
  • Option 2: S ∪ T ∪ C = C
  • Option 3: S ∪ T ∪ C = S
  • Option 4: S ∪ T = S ∩ C

Solution Explanation & Steps: (c) S ∪ T ∪ C = S

Question 3 (EASY)

If nC12 = nC8, then n is equal to
  • Option 1: 20
  • Option 2: 12
  • Option 3: 6
  • Option 4: 30

Solution Explanation & Steps: (a), as nC12 = nC8 ⇒ nCn - 12 = nC8 ⇒ n - 12 = 8 ⇒ n = 8 + 12 = 20

Grading Step-Marking Guidelines

Remember that teachers award partial marks for writing down formulas, stating the given variables, and drawing diagrams. Never leave a question blank on an exam. Write down the relevant formulas and initial substitution steps to secure partial credits.
