3. (a) Simplify as much as possible the following set expressions

(i)
(ii)

(b) (i) Differentiate between subset and cardinality of a set.

(ii) At Chang’ombe Secondary School, there are 26 form five students from one of the
class; 10 do Mathematics, 20 do Economics and 8 do Geography. All those doing
Mathematics also are doing Economics. 4 take Mathematics and Geography and 6 take
Economics and Geography. Calculate the number of students who take;

4. (a) Given that set A and B are defined as

Determine (i) (ii)

(b) Use appropriate laws to verify that
(i)
(ii)
(c) A certain school’s academic office sent the following data to the examinations council.
Out of 100 students, 5 study physics, chemistry and French; 10 study physics and
chemistry; 8 study French and chemistry; 20 study physics and French, 30 study
chemistry; 23 study physics and 50 study French. The council delivered this statement to
the offices: your data is terribly wrong: What was wrong with the data?

5. (a) Given the argument “If it rains or no referee comes, the game will be put off. The game
was on. Therefore, it did not rain”.
(i) Express the argument in symbolic form.
(ii) Use the laws of algebra of propositions to prove that the argument is valid

(c) “If today is Thursday, then I have a test today” Write the converse and contra positive
of this statement.
(d) Using laws of algebra in logic; determine the validity of the following
argument; ‘If there is rain, the crops will grow well. If crops grow well, there is no famine.
But there is famine. Therefore there is no rain

7. Suppose that D is the point that divides Ax1 , y1  and Bx2 , y2  externally in the ratio a : b,
Prove that the point D is given by
 ax  bx1 ay2  by1 
D  x, y    2 , 
 a b a b . Hence find the
co-ordinate of the point which divides (11, 10) and (3, 4) externally in the ratio 2:1

times its distance from B 5,7 .

8. (a) A is the point (1,0) and B is the point (-1,0). Find the locus of a point P which moves so
that PA+PB=4
(b) Find the angle between the lines
(c) In what ratio does the x-axis divide the line segment joining the points (2, -3) and (5,6)?
(d) Find the equation of a circle whose centre is in the first guardant touches the y-axis at the
point (0, 3) and is orthogonal to the circle
