Question

Suppose A1,A2,...,A30 are thirty sets each having 5 elements and B1,B2,...,Bn are n sets each having 3 elements. Let each element of S belongs to exactly 10 of Ai s and exactly 9 of Bi s. Then, find the value of n.

Solution

If elements are not repeated, then number of elements in A1A2A3... A30 is 30×5 but each element is used 10 times.

So, S=30×510=15 ...(i)

Similarly, if elements in B1, B2, ..., Bn are not repeated, then total number of elements in 3n, but each element is repeated 9 times.

So, S=3n9

15=3n9 [from Eq. (i)]

n=15×93=45
