QJEEM20Ma5285: JEE Main 2020 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM20Ma5285 Solution: Let ∪ i = 1 50 ⁡ X i = ∪ i = 1 n ⁡ Y i = T where each X i…

Let ∪i=150⁡Xi=∪i=1n⁡Yi=T where each Xi contains 10 elements and each Yi contains 5 elements. If each element of the set T is an element of exactly 20 of sets Xi’s and exactly 6 of sets Yi’s, then n is equal to :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 30
  • B 50
  • C 15
  • D 45

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∪i=150⁡Xi= X1, X2,....., X50 = 50 sets. Given each sets having 10 elements.

So total elements = 50 × 10

∪i=1n⁡Yi= $$ Y1, Y2,....., Yn = n sets. Given each sets having 5 elements.

So total elements = 5 × n

Now each element of set T contains exactly 20 of sets Xi.

So number of effective elements in set T = 50×1020

Also each element of set T contains exactly 6 of sets Yi.

So number of effective elements in set T = 50×1020

∴ 50×1020 = 5×n20

⇒ n = 30
