Answer
Given:
n(A) = 52
n(B) = 60
n(A ∩ B) = 16

(i) n(A ∪ B)
The number of elements in the union of two sets is found using the formula:
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
Substituting the values in above, we get:
n(A ∪ B) = 52 + 60 - 16
n(A ∪ B) = 112 - 16
∴ n(A ∪ B) = 96
(ii) n(A - B)
The number of elements that belong to A but not to B is found by subtracting the intersection from n(A):
n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A ∩ B)
Substituting the values in above, we get:
n(A - B) = 52 - 16
∴ n(A - B) = 36
(iii) n(B - A)
The number of elements that belong to B but not to A is found by subtracting the intersection from n(B):
n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
Substituting the values in above, we get:
n(B - A) = 60 - 16
∴ n(B - A) = 44
