Let U={1,2,3,…,60}U = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 60\} be a universal set. Let PP be the subset of UU consisting of all multiples of 44, and QQ be the subset of UU consisting of all multiples of 66. The sum of all elements that belong to exactly one of the sets PP or QQ is

Correct answer

450

Step-by-step solution

Let U={1,2,3,…,60}U = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 60\}.

The set PP contains multiples of 44 up to 6060:
P={4,8,12,…,60}P = \{4, 8, 12, \dots, 60\}
Number of terms in PP, n(P)=604=15n(P) = \dfrac{60}{4} = 15.
Sum of elements in P=152(4+60)=15×32=480P = \dfrac{15}{2}(4 + 60) = 15 \times 32 = 480.

The set QQ contains multiples of 66 up to 6060:
Q={6,12,18,…,60}Q = \{6, 12, 18, \dots, 60\}
Number of terms in QQ, n(Q)=606=10n(Q) = \dfrac{60}{6} = 10.
Sum of elements in Q=102(6+60)=5×66=330Q = \dfrac{10}{2}(6 + 60) = 5 \times 66 = 330.

The intersection P∩QP \cap Q contains multiples of LCM(4,6)=12\text{LCM}(4, 6) = 12 up to 6060:
P∩Q={12,24,36,48,60}P \cap Q = \{12, 24, 36, 48, 60\}
Number of terms in P∩QP \cap Q, n(P∩Q)=6012=5n(P \cap Q) = \dfrac{60}{12} = 5.
Sum of elements in P∩Q=52(12+60)=5×36=180P \cap Q = \dfrac{5}{2}(12 + 60) = 5 \times 36 = 180.

The elements belonging to exactly one of the sets PP or QQ form the symmetric difference PΔQP \Delta Q.
Sum of elements in PΔQ=Sum(P)+Sum(Q)−2×Sum(P∩Q)P \Delta Q = \text{Sum}(P) + \text{Sum}(Q) - 2 \times \text{Sum}(P \cap Q)
=480+330−2(180)= 480 + 330 - 2(180)
=810−360=450= 810 - 360 = 450.
