`q001. Let A stand for the collection of all whole numbers which have at least one even digit (e.g., 237, 864, 6, 3972 are in the collection, while 397, 135, 1, 9937 are not). Let A ' stand for the collection of all whole numbers which are not in the collection A. Let B stand for the collection { 3, 8, 35, 89, 104, 357, 4321 }. What numbers do B and A have in common? What numbers do B and A' have in common?......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 1. B and A have the numbers 8,89,104 and 4321 in common.
2. B and A' have the numbers 3,35 and 357 in common..................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:37:39 Of the numbers in B, 8, 89, 104, 4321 each have at least one even digit and so are common to both sets. 3 is odd, both of the digits in the number 35 are odd, as are all three digits in the number 357. Both of these numbers are therefore in A ' .

20:45:21 `q002. I have in a room 8 people with dark hair brown, 2 people with bright red hair, and 9 people with light brown or blonde hair. Nobody has more than one hair color. Is it possible that there are exactly 17 people in the room?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> No, because if 8 have dark brown, 2 have bright red hair and 9 have light brown or blonde hair, then that's 19 people. So there can't exactly 17.

......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:45:40 If we assume that dark brown, light brown or blonde, and bright red hair are mutually exclusive (i.e., someone can't be both one category and another, much less all three), then we have at least 8 + 2 + 9 = 19 people in the room, and it is not possible that we have exactly 17.

RESPONSE --> ok

20:58:50 `q003. I have in a room 6 people with dark hair and 10 people with blue eyes. There are only 14 people in the room. But 10 + 6 = 16, which is more than 14. How can this be?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> There are only 14 people in the room. 10 people have blue eyes. Out of these 10, 6 may have dark hair or another hair color, but out of the 14 people we know that 10 have blue eyes and the other 4 have some other eye color.
You don't add the 6 and 10 together, because some of these may be the same person. This statement is just saying that out of the 14 people, 6 of these have dark hair and 10 of these have blue eyes..................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:59:14 The key here is that there is nothing mutully exclusive about these categories-a person can have blue eyes as well as dark hair. So if there are 2 people in the room who have dark hair and blue eyes, which is certainly possible, then when we add 10 + 6 = 16 those two people would be counted twice, once among the 6 blue-eyed people and once among the 10 dark-haired people. So the 16 we get would be 2 too high. To get the correct number we would have to subtract the 2 people who were counted twice to get 16 - 2 = 14 people.

21:06:26 `q004. In a set of 100 child's blocks 60 blocks are cubical and 40 blocks are cylindrical. 30 of the blocks are red and 20 of the red blocks are cubical. How many of the cylindrical blocks are red?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 10 of the cylindrical blocks are red.
There are 100 blocks , 30 of the blocks are red. Out of this 30 red, 20 are cubical, so the 10 left are cylindrical..................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
21:06:33 Of the 30 red blocks 20 are cubical, so the rest must be cylindrical. This leaves 10 red cylindrical blocks.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok
