1.

Describing sets based on IT sector jobs and jobs in general:

Let ( A ) be the set of people who got jobs in the IT sector, and ( B ) be the set of people who
got jobs.

(a) ( A ∩ B ):
This represents the set of people who got jobs in the IT sector. Since everyone in ( A ) is also
in ( B ), ( A ∩ B = A ).

(b) ( A ∪ B ):
This represents the set of people who either got jobs in the IT sector or jobs in general. In
practical terms, it is the same as the set of all people who got jobs.

(c) ( A − B ):

all people in ( A ) are also in ( B ), ( A − B = ∅ ).


This represents the set of people who got jobs in the IT sector but not jobs in general. Since

(d) ( B − A ):
This represents the set of people who got jobs in general but not in the IT sector.

2. Expressing sets in terms of people living in the USA and owning houses in Canada:

Let ( A ) be the set of people living in the USA, and ( B ) be the set of people owning a house
in Canada.

(a) The set of people living in the USA and having a house in Canada:
This is the intersection of ( A ) and ( B ):
(A∩B)

(b) The set of people living in the USA who are not having a house in Canada:
This is the difference of ( A ) and ( B ):
(A−B)

(c) The set of people who either live in the USA or have a house in Canada:
This is the union of ( A ) and ( B ):
(A∪B)

(d) The set of people who are either non-US residents or do not own a house in Canada:
This is the complement of ( A ∩ B ):
( (A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’ )

3. Calculating the total number of employees in the company:

Given data:
- Employees taking cab privilege: ( |A| = 750 )
- Employees taking breakfast privilege: ( |B| = 900 )
- Employees taking both privileges: ( |A ∩ B| = 530 )
- Employees not taking any privileges: ( |(A ∪ B)’| = 60 )

We use the principle of inclusion and exclusion:

|A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| − |A ∩ B|

|A ∪ B| = 750 + 900 − 530 = 1120

The total number of employees in the company includes those who take any benefits and
those who do not:
Total employees = |A ∪ B| + |(A ∪ B)’|

Total employees = 1120 + 60 = 1180

Answer:
The total number of employees in the company is 1180. This calculation uses the principle of
inclusion and exclusion.

Here is the Venn diagram representing the privileges taken by employees in the
company:
