Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Mathematics 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Problems
Involving Sets!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.
For the learner:
Welcome to the Mathematics 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Problems Involving Sets!
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:
This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module.
This part includes an activity that aims to
check what you already know about the
lesson to take. If you get all the answers
correct (100%), you may decide to skip this
module.
This is a brief drill or review to help you link
the current lesson with the previous one.
In this portion, the new lesson will be
introduced to you in various ways such as a
story, a song, a poem, a problem opener, an
activity or a situation.
This section provides a brief discussion of the
lesson. This aims to help you discover and
understand new concepts and skills.
This comprises activities for independent
practice to solidify your understanding and
skills of the topic. You may check the
answers to the exercises using the Answer
Key at the end of the module.
This includes questions or blank
sentence/paragraph to be filled in to process
what you learned from the lesson.

Problems Involving Sets
What’s In
Notes to the Learner
Find the solution using any method.
What’s New
Venn diagram is a principal way of showing sets diagrammatically. This
method consists primarily of entering the elements of a set into a circle or circles. It
can be used to solve word problems involving union and intersection of sets.
In solving set operations using the Venn diagram, the following are the steps
to be followed:
Step 1. Determine what is given and what are being asked.
Step 2. Illustrate using the Venn diagram.
Step 3. Determine what operations to be used.
Step 4. Use the operations.
Step 5. Answer the questions being asked.
Here are some worked out examples:
Example 1.
Let A and B be two finite sets such that n(A) = 20, n(B) = 28 and n(AUB)=36.
Find n(A∩B).
Solution:
Step 1. Determine what is given and what are being asked.
Given :
n(A) = 20,
n(B) = 28
n( A U B ) = 36.
Asked:
Find n( A∩ B).
Step 2. Illustrate using the Venn diagram if possible.
The Venn diagram is shown below
U
Asked:
a. How many students liked only tea?
b. How many students liked only coffee?
c. How many students liked neither tea nor coffee?
Step 2. Illustrate using the Venn diagram.
Let T = set of students who like only tea
C = set of students who liked only coffee
X = set of students who liked neither tea nor coffee
The Venn diagram is shown below
Step 3. Determine what operations to be used.
(1)To obtain T,
T = 140 - 80 students who liked tea minus students who
liked both tea and coffee
T = 60 set of students who liked only tea
(2) To obtain C,
C = 120 – 80 students who liked coffee minus students
who liked both tea and coffee
C = 40 set of students who liked coffee only
(3) To obtain X,
X = 200 – ( T + C + 80) total number of students who were
randomly selected minus the sums of T , C
and 80
X = 200 – ( 60 + 40 + 80) by substitution
X = 200 – 180 by simplifying
X = 20 set of students who liked neither tea nor
coffee
U
Step 4. Use the operations.
The number of elements in each region is shown below:
Step 5. Answer the questions being asked.
a. How many students liked only tea? 60 students
b. How many students liked only coffee? 40 students
e. How many students liked neither tea nor coffee? 20 students
Example 3.
A group of 25 high school students were asked whether they used either
Facebook or Twitter or both. Fifteen (15) of these students used Facebook,
and twelve (12) used Twitter.
a. How many students used Facebook only?
b. How many students used Twitter only?
c. How many students used both Social networking sites?
Solution:
Step 1. Determine what is given and what are being asked.
Given:
25 high school students who were asked whether they use either
Facebook or Twitter or both
15 students who used Facebook
12 students who used Twitter
Asked:
a. How many used Facebook only?
b. How many used Twitter only?
c. How many used both Social networking sites?
Step 2. Illustrate using the Venn diagram.
Let F = set of students who used Facebook only
T = set of students who used Twitter only
B = set of students who used both social networking sites
U
Step 5. Answer the questions being asked.
a. How many used Facebook only? 13 students
b. How many used Twitter only? 10 students
c. How many used both Social networking sites? 2 students
Example 2.
A group of 50 students went for a tour in South Cotabato province. Out
of 50 students, 24 joined the trip in Lake Sebu for a zipline experience, 18
went to the flower farm in Tupi, 20 went to Si – ok falls in Koronadal City, 12
joined the trip to Lake Sebu and Tupi, 15 went to Tupi and Si-ok falls and 11
made a trip to Lake Sebu and Si-ok falls and 10 visited the three tourists
spots.
a. How many of the students went to Lake Sebu only?
b. How many of the students went to Tupi only?
c. How many joined the Si-ok trip in Koronadal City only?
d. How many did not go to any of the tourist spots?
Solution:
Step 1. Determine what is given and what are being asked.
Given:
50 students went for a tour
24 students who visited Lake Sebu
18 students who went to Tupi
20 students who went to Koronadal City
12 students who joined the trip to Lake Sebu and Tupi
15 students who went to Tupi and Koronadal City
11 students who went to Lake Sebu and Koronadal City
10 students who visited the three tourist spots
Asked:
a. How many of the students went to Lake Sebu only?
b. How many of the students went to Tupi only?
c. How many joined the Si-ok trip in Koronadal City only?
d. How many did not go to any of the tourist spots?
Step 2. Illustrate using the Venn diagram.
We will let,
LKT = number of students who visited the THREE tourist spots
L = number of students who visited Lake Sebu only
T = number of students who went to Tupi only
K = number of students who went to Koronadal City only
LT = number of students who joined the trip to Lake Sebu and Tupi only
TK = number of students who went to Tupi and Koronadal City only
LK = number of students who went to Lake Sebu and Koronadal City only
N = number of students who DID NOT see any of the THREE tourist spots
Step 3 : Determine what operations to be used.
(1) To obtain LKT,
LKT = 10 students who visited the THREE tourist
spots
(2) To obtain TK,
Cityminus LKT
TK = 15 – 10 by substitution
TK = 5 students who went to Tupi and Koronadal
City only
(3) To obtain LT ,
LT = 12 – LKT students who went to Lake Sebu and Tupi
minus LKT
LT = 12 - 10 by substitution
LT = 2 students who joined the trip to Lake Sebu
and Tupi only
(4) To obtain LK,
LK = 11 – LKT students who went to Lake Sebu and
Koronadal City minus LKT
LK = 11 – 10 by substitution
LK = 1 students who went to Lake Sebu and
Koronadal City only
( 5) To obtain L ,
L = 24 – (LKT + LT + LK) students who joined the trip to Lake Sebu
minus the sums of LKT, LT and LK)
L = 24 – (10 + 2 + 1) by substitution
L = 24 – 13 by simplying
