Sets — practice question

Take $\mathcal{E} = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\}$. Define $P = \{x : x \text{ is a multiple of } 3\}$, $Q = \{x : x \text{ is an odd number}\}$, and $R = \{x : x \text{ is a factor of } 24\}$.
(a(i))[3]

Complete the Venn diagram by filling in all of the regions.

(a(ii))[1]

Find $n(R')$ for this set.

(a(iii))[1]

List the elements belonging to $(P \cup R) \cap Q$.

(a(iv))[1]

Describe, in words, the kind of number represented by $P \cap R \cap Q'$.

(a(v))[2]

A number, $m$, is selected at random from the elements of $R$. Find the probability that $m$ is a multiple of $3$.

(b(i))[2]

Let $M = 2^{2x} \times 3^4 \times 5 \times 7$ and $N = 2^3 \times 3^{x-y} \times 5^2$. The lowest common multiple (LCM) of $M$ and $N$ is $2^8 \times 3^6 \times 5^2 \times 7$. Find the value of $x$ and the value of $y$.

(b(ii))[1]

Find the greatest square number that is a factor of $M$.

(b(iii))[1]

Find the highest common factor (HCF) of $M$ and $N$, and give the result as a product of prime factors.
