ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 — Question 1 of 80

Set Operations & Venn Diagrams — identify the shaded region for a union of intersections/complements.

Break down (A ∩ C̄) ∪ (A ∩ B̄ ∩ C) ∪ (Ā ∩ B ∩ C):

  • A ∩ C̄ — everything in A that is NOT in C (covers: only-A, A∩B-not-C)
  • A ∩ B̄ ∩ C — in A and C, but NOT in B (covers: A∩C-not-B)
  • Ā ∩ B ∩ C — in B and C, but NOT in A (covers: B∩C-not-A)

Shaded regions:
- All of A except A ∩ B ∩ C (the triple-overlap stays white)

- B ∩ C excluding A

Why not others:
- (a) — does not shade A ∩ B region or B ∩ C region correctly

- (b) — shades only some intersections; most of A is white

- (c) — shades only A − (B ∪ C); missing other regions

Key rule: Break each term into Venn regions using a truth-table approach (8 regions for 3 sets). Check each region against every term — if any term includes it, shade it.
