LetA=1,2,3,4,5,6,7. DefineB={TA: either1Tor2T} andC={TA:Tthe sum of all the elements ofTis a prime number.} Then the number of elements in the setBCis _______.

Answer:
107.00
Solution:

We know that,

By demorgan's law BC'=B'C'

B' is a set containing sub sets of A containing element 1 and not containing 2.

And C' is a set containing subsets of A whose sum of elements is not prime.

So, we need to calculate number of subsets of 3,4,5,6,7 whose sum of elements plus 1 is composite.

Number of such 5 elements subset =1

Number of such 4 elements subset =3 (except selecting 3 or 7)

Number of such 3 elements subset =6 (except selecting 3,4,5,3,6,7,4,5,7 or 5,6,7)

Number of such 2 elements subset =7 (except selecting 3,7,4,6,5,7)

Number of such 1 elements subset =3 (except selecting 4 or 6)

Number of such 0 elements subset =1

So, number of elements in nB'C'=1+3+6+7+3+1=21

And number of elements in nBC=27-21=107
