Set A is a set of 25 distinct multiples of 3 and Set B is a set of 40 distinct multiples of 2. There are 5 distinct multiples of 6 which appear in both sets A and B. If C is the set of numbers belonging to sets A and B but not both, how many integers are in set C?

A. 5
B. 30
C. 55
D. 60
E. 70

A = set of 25 distinct multiples of 3

B = set of 40 distinct multiples of 2

Number in Set C from Set A = 25 (Total Numbers in A) - 5 (common numbers) = 20
Number in Set C from Set B = 40 (Total Numbers in A) - 5 (common numbers) = 35

Total Members in Set C = 20+35 = 55

Answer: Option C

Set A is a set of 25 distinct multiples of 3 and Set B is a set of 40 distinct multiples of 2. There are 5 distinct multiples of 6 which appear in both sets A and B. If C is the set of numbers belonging to sets A and B but not both, how many integers are in set C?

A. 5
B. 30
C. 55
D. 60
E. 70

We are given that set A is a set of 25 distinct multiples of 3, set B is a set of 40 distinct multiples of 2, and there are 5 distinct multiples of 6 that appear in both sets A and B.

Thus, set A has 25 - 5 = 20 integers that are multiples of 3 but not multiples of 6, and set B has 40 - 5 = 35 integers that are multiples of 2 but not multiples of 6.

Since set C is the set of numbers belonging to only set A and only set B, C = 20 + 35 = 55.

Answer: C

Seat A and Set B has other common numbers also other than just five in both sets. Don't we have to subtract all these also as we are asked to find set of numbers belonging to sets A and B but not both?
