Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 1992 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4}, P = {2, 3} and Q = {2, 4}. What is (P∩Q)'?

Answer Details
In set theory, the symbol ∩ denotes the intersection of two sets, meaning the set of elements that are in both sets. Therefore, P∩Q denotes the set of elements that are in both P and Q, which is {2}. The complement of a set A, denoted by A', is the set of elements that are not in A but are in the universal set U. Therefore, (P∩Q)' denotes the set of elements that are in U but are not in P∩Q, which is {1, 3, 4}. Thus, the correct answer is: (1, 3, 4).
