Math Grade 7: Worksheet on Union and Intersection

Teacher Rugi

1. Write down the union and intersection of the following pairs of sets:
(i) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
(ii) X = {a, b, c, d, e}
Y = {c, e, f, g}
(iii) P = {x : x is a multiple of 2 between 9 and 21}
Q = {x : x is a multiple of 3 between 10 and 20}
(iv) M = {letters in the word COMPUTER}
N = {letters in the word CALCULATOR}
2. If A = {a, b, c, d}

B = {b, c, d, e}

C = {c, d, e, f}

D = {d, e, f, g}, find

(a) A - B
(b) B - C
(c) C - D
(d) D - A

Review: Subsets
3. Fill in the blank spaces using the symbols or .
(a) {1, 2, 3} _____ {1, 3, 5}
(b) ____ {4, 7, 9}
(c) {x : x is rectangle in a plane} _____ {x : x is a quadrilateral in a plane}
(d) {x : x is an odd natural number} {x : x is an integer}
(e) {x : x is a prime number} {x : x is a composite number}
(f) {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30}____{10, 20, 30, 40}
4. Let A be the set of letters of the word FOLLOW. Find

(a) A
(b) n(A)
(c) Number of subsets of A
(d) List all the subsets of A
