Let A and B be two sets such that

\[ n(A)=16,\quad n(B)=14,\quad n(A\cup B)=25 \]

Then, \(n(A\cap B)\) is equal to

(a) 30

(b) 50

(c) 5

(d) none of these

Solution

Using the formula,

\[ n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B) \]

Substituting the values,

\[ 25=16+14-n(A\cap B) \]

\[ 25=30-n(A\cap B) \]

\[ n(A\cap B)=30-25 \]

\[ =5 \]

Answer

\[ \boxed{5} \]

Correct option: (c)
