Problems related to sets and groups

by anirban_lax » Thu Sep 09, 2010 8:23 am
Hi

Does anyone know of any good practice material for problems relating to groups and sets (). I'm having a torrid time with this type and spending way too much time in solving them during the practice tests. The D-day is coming close...20 days to go. Can you please help me out and point me to some good material that is available? It wil be very helpful.

Thanks

Let me be a little more specific about my request. I'm looking for some good practice material or strategy material on problems relating to situations where we have a set of S people and out of of them a group of G1 people does something and a group G2 people does something else. We are needed to find how many do it together, how many do only action A and how many only action B et al.
For example, in a party there are 200 people and 75 of them had coffee while 100 had both coffee and tea. How many had tea only?

I can deduce some of them pretty fast while I'm locking horns with the others for a long time, loosing precious time over a single problem. I understand I need a new way of thinking about these type of problems. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

@Sanju - Sorry for not being more specific, but thanks anyways, for your time.

Thanks
Anirban
