Class 11 Maths Set Practice Paper
Section A: Sets and Their Representations
1. Define a set and give three examples of sets in real life.
2. Represent the following sets in roster form:
• A = {x | x is a prime number less than 20}
• B = {x | x is a vowel in the English alphabet}
3. Write the set of all even numbers between 1 and 30 in roster form.
4. If A={1,2,3}A={1,2,3} and B={3,4,5}B={3,4,5}, represent these sets using set-builder
notation.
5. Explain the difference between a finite set and an infinite set with examples.

1. Define the empty set. Provide an example of a situation that can be represented by an empty set.
2. Prove that the empty set is a subset of every set.
3. If A={x∣x2+1=0}A={x∣x2+1=0}, what type of set is A? Justify your answer.
4. Show that if AA is a non-empty set, then the intersection of AA and the empty set is also the
empty set.
5. If A={1,2,3}A={1,2,3}, what is A∩∅A∩∅?

1. Define equal sets and provide an example.
2. Given sets A={a,b,c}A={a,b,c} and B={c,b,a}B={c,b,a}, prove that AA and BB are equal
sets.
3. If A={x∣x is an integer,−2<x<3}A={x∣x is an integer,−2<x<3}, list all subsets of AA.
4. How many subsets does the set S={1,2,3,4}S={1,2,3,4} have? Justify your answer.
5. Prove that if A⊆BA⊆B and B⊆CB⊆C, then A⊆CA⊆C.
Section D: Power Set and Universal Set
1. Define the power set of a given set and find the power set of P={1,2}P={1,2}.
2. If the universal set U={1,2,3,4,5}U={1,2,3,4,5} and A={1,2}A={1,2}, find the complement of
set A in U.
3. How many elements are there in the power set of a set with n elements? Prove your answer.
4. Let U={x∣x is a natural number less than or equal to 10}U={x∣x is a natural number less th
an or equal to 10}. If A={2,4,6}A={2,4,6}, find A′A′.
5. Describe how to find the universal set when given two sets.
Section E: Venn Diagrams
1. Draw a Venn diagram for two sets A=1,2,3A=1,2,3 and B=3,4,5B=3,4,5. Identify the union and
intersection.
2. In a survey of students taking Mathematics and Physics:
• Let M be the students taking Mathematics.
• Let P be the students taking Physics.
• If ∣M∣=30,∣P∣=25,∣M∣=30,∣P∣=25, and ∣M∩P∣=10∣M∩P∣=10, find:
• The number of students taking only Mathematics
• The number of students taking only Physics
• The total number of students surveyed
3. Using a Venn diagram, illustrate the relationship between three sets: A (students who play
football), B (students who play basketball), and C (students who play cricket).
4. If there are 40 students in total where some take both Mathematics and English with given data
about each group; represent this using a Venn diagram.
5. Explain how Venn diagrams can be used to solve problems involving unions and intersections.
Section F: Operations on Sets
1. Given sets A=1,2,3A=1,2,3 and B=3,4,5B=3,4,5:
• Find A∪BA∪B
• Find A∩BA∩B
• Find A−BA−B
2. If X=a,bX=a,b and Y=b,cY=b,c, calculate:
• X∪YX∪Y
• X∩YX∩Y
• X−YX−Y
3. Prove that for any two sets AA and BB:
• A∪(B∩C)=(A∪B)∩(A∪C)A∪(B∩C)=(A∪B)∩(A∪C)
4. Let sets be defined as follows:
• Set P contains all prime numbers less than or equal to 10,
• Set Q contains all even numbers less than or equal to 10.
Find:
• The union
• The intersection
5. Prove that if two sets are disjoint (i.e., their intersection is empty), then their union equals the sum
of their individual cardinalities.
Section G: Linear Inequalities
1. Solve the following linear inequality:
• 2x+3<72x+3<7
2. Graphically represent the solution to the inequality from question (1).
3. Solve for x in the compound inequality:
• −3<x+5<7−3<x+5<7
4. If one side of an inequality is multiplied by a negative number, what happens to the direction of
the inequality sign? Provide an example to illustrate your answer.
5. Solve the linear inequality:
• 3x−7≥−2(x+1)3x−7≥−2(x+1)
Section H: Miscellaneous Questions
1. Prove that if two sets are equal then they have exactly the same elements by using properties of
sets.
2. If every element of set A is also an element of set B (i.e., A ⊆ B), what can you conclude about their
relationship?
3. Show that if two finite sets have equal cardinality then they are equal by providing an example.
4. Discuss how operations on sets can be applied in real-life scenarios such as database management
or survey analysis.
5. Explain how properties of operations on sets can help simplify complex expressions involving
multiple sets.
