Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given sets A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, and C = {5, 6, 7, 8}, calculate |A ∪ B ∪ C|.

💡 Hint: Use inclusion-exclusion carefully for intersections.

Challenge 2 Hard

If A1 to A5 have 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 elements respectively, what is |A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3 ∪ A4 ∪ A5| if some intersections are known?

💡 Hint: Each intersection adjusts the counting!
