If A and B are two sets such that

\[ n(A)=70,\quad n(B)=60,\quad n(A\cup B)=110 \]

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

(a) 240

(b) 50

(c) 40

(d) 20

Solution

Using the formula,

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

Substituting the values,

\[ 110=70+60-n(A\cap B) \]

\[ 110=130-n(A\cap B) \]

\[ n(A\cap B)=130-110 \]

\[ =20 \]

Answer

\[ \boxed{20} \]

Correct option: (d)
