To help the aspirants to ace this topic, we have made a PDF containing a comprehensive list of formulas, tips, and tricks that you can use to solve Venn diagram questions with ease and speed. Click on the below link to download the CAT Venn diagram formulas PDF.
Consider three intersecting sets A, B and C. A represents all the elements in set A and A’ represents all the elements not in A. The image shows the different areas in a venn diagram and the meaning of each area.* $$ n(A \cup B)$$ = $$n(A)+n(B)-n(A \cap B)$$
$$n(A \cup B \cup C)$$ = $$n(A)+n(B)+n(C)$$-$$n(A \cap B)$$ - $$n(B \cap C)$$ - $$n(A \cap C)$$ + $$n(A \cap B \cap C)$$
Only A can be translated as A and not B and not C
Similarly, A’ and B’ and C’ = Universal set – (A or B or C)
