Simplify the following expressions as much as possible using only five pairs of laws
listed above. Do not use Venn diagrams to simplify the expressions. At each step
indicate which law you have used to make the simplification.
a) (𝐿 ∩ 𝑀) ∪ (𝑁 ∩ 𝐿) k) (𝑀 ∪ 𝑁) ∪ 𝑁
b) (𝑅 ∪ 𝐵) ∩ (𝐵 ∪ 𝐷) l) ((𝑀 ∩ 𝑁) ∪ 𝑀) ∪ 𝑁
c) (𝑀 ∪ 𝐵) ∩ 𝐵 m) 𝑇 ∩ (𝑀 ∩ 𝑇)
d) 𝑀 ∪ (𝐵 ∩ 𝐵) n) 𝑇 ∩ (𝑀 ∪ 𝑇)
e) (𝐾 ∩ 𝑃) ∪ 𝐾 o) (𝑇 ∩ 𝑀) ∪ (𝑇 ∩ 𝑀)
f) 𝐾 ∩ (𝑃 ∪ 𝐾) p) ((𝑋 ∪ 𝑍) ∩ 𝑍) ∪ (𝑋 ∩ 𝑍)
g) (𝐾 ∪ 𝐾) ∩ 𝐿 q) (𝐴 ∪ (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)) ∩ (𝐴 ∪ 𝐶)
h) (𝑅 ∩ 𝑇) ∪ 𝑅 r) (𝑋 ∪ 𝑌) ∩ ((𝑋 ∪ 𝑌) ∩ (𝑌 ∪ ∅))
i) 𝐾 ∩ (𝑆 ∪ 𝐾)
j) (𝑀 ∩ 𝑁) ∪ 𝑀
2. A survey was done to see how many people visit the beach, go camping or go to the waterslides
during the summer months. It was found that 35% went camping, 57% went to the beach and
20% went to the waterslides. 15% went camping & to the beach, 8% went to the beach & to the
waterslides, 5% went camping & to the waterslides and 3% went to all three. Draw a Venn
diagram to display the information and find the percent of the survey population that:
a) Went to the beach or went to the slides.
b) Went camping or went to the beach.
c) Only went to one of the three locations.
d) Did none of the three activities
3. Of the 28 students in a class, 12 have a part time job, 22 have a part time job or do regular
volunteer work, and 4 of the students have a part time job and do regular volunteer work.
4. Draw the Venn diagram and shade the correct region for the followings,
a. (A′ - B′)
b. A′ ∩ B′ ∩ C′
c. (A′ ∩C′) U B′
d. (A ∩ B) ′ U C
e. A U B′ U C′
f. A′ U B U C
