1. **Problem 1:**
Given sets:
$$\varepsilon = \{(x,y) : x,y \text{ whole numbers}, -2 \leq x < 3, -3 \leq y \leq 1\}$$
$$A = \{(x,y) : x^2 + y^2 = 5, x > y\}$$
$$B = \{(x,y) : xy < 0\}$$
List elements of (a) A, (b) B.
**Step 1:** Find all $(x,y)$ with $x^2 + y^2 = 5$ where $x,y$ are whole numbers in the given ranges.
Possible $x$ values: $-2,-1,0,1,2$ (since $x<3$ and $x \geq -2$)
Possible $y$ values: $-3,-2,-1,0,1$
Check pairs where $x^2 + y^2 = 5$:
- $x=\pm 1$, $y=\pm 2$ since $1^2 + 2^2 = 1 + 4 = 5$
- $x=\pm 2$, $y=\pm 1$ since $2^2 + 1^2 = 4 + 1 = 5$
Check $x > y$:
- $(1,2)$ no since $1 \not> 2$
- $(1,-2)$ yes since $1 > -2$
- $(-1,2)$ no since $-1 \not> 2$
- $(-1,-2)$ yes since $-1 > -2$
- $(2,1)$ yes since $2 > 1$
- $(2,-1)$ yes since $2 > -1$
- $(-2,1)$ no since $-2 \not> 1$
- $(-2,-1)$ no since $-2 \not> -1$
So, $A = \{(1,-2), (-1,-2), (2,1), (2,-1)\}$.
**Step 2:** Find elements of $B = \{(x,y) : xy < 0\}$ with $x,y$ in the given ranges.
This means $x$ and $y$ have opposite signs.
Possible $x$ values: $-2,-1,0,1,2$
Possible $y$ values: $-3,-2,-1,0,1$
Exclude $x=0$ or $y=0$ since $0 \times$ anything $=0$ not less than 0.
Pairs where $x$ and $y$ have opposite signs:
- $x>0$, $y<0$: $(1,-3),(1,-2),(1,-1),(2,-3),(2,-2),(2,-1)$
- $x<0$, $y>0$: $(-2,1),(-1,1)$
So, $B = \{(1,-3),(1,-2),(1,-1),(2,-3),(2,-2),(2,-1),(-2,1),(-1,1)\}$.

2. **Problem 2:**
$$\varepsilon = \{x : 1 \leq x \leq 20\}$$
$$P = \{x : x \text{ multiple of } 2\}$$
$$Q = \{x : x \text{ multiple of } 3\}$$
(a) List elements in $(P \cup Q)'$ (complement of union).
(b) Describe elements in $P \cap Q$.
**Step 1:** List $P$ and $Q$:
- $P = \{2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20\}$
- $Q = \{3,6,9,12,15,18\}$
**Step 2:** $P \cup Q = \{2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20\}$
**Step 3:** $(P \cup Q)' = \varepsilon \setminus (P \cup Q) = \{1,5,7,11,13,17,19\}$
**Step 4:** $P \cap Q = \{6,12,18\}$
These are multiples of both 2 and 3, i.e., multiples of 6.

3. **Problem 3:**
$$\varepsilon = \{x : 1 \leq x \leq 100\}$$
$$S = \{x : x \text{ perfect square}\}$$
$$T = \{x : x \text{ integer having at least one } 6\}$$
$$P = \{x : x \text{ integer ending with } 7\}$$
(a) Find $n(S \cap T)$
(b) Find $n(S \cap P)$
**Step 1:** List perfect squares up to 100:
$1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100$
**Step 2:** Identify which have digit 6 (set $T$):
Numbers with digit 6: $6,16,26,36,46,56,60-69,76,86,96$
**Step 3:** $S \cap T$ are perfect squares with digit 6:
From perfect squares: $16,36,64$
Count: $n(S \cap T) = 3$
**Step 4:** $P$ numbers ending with 7: $7,17,27,37,47,57,67,77,87,97$
**Step 5:** $S \cap P$ are perfect squares ending with 7:
None of the perfect squares end with 7.
So, $n(S \cap P) = 0$

4. **Problem 4:**
40 students total.
- 23 got distinction in Physics (P)
- 15 got distinction in Chemistry (C)
- 12 got no distinction in either
Find number who got distinction in both Physics and Chemistry.
**Step 1:** Number who got distinction in at least one subject:
$40 - 12 = 28$
**Step 2:** Use formula:
$$n(P \cup C) = n(P) + n(C) - n(P \cap C)$$
$$28 = 23 + 15 - n(P \cap C)$$
**Step 3:** Solve for $n(P \cap C)$:
$$n(P \cap C) = 23 + 15 - 28 = 10$$

5. **Problem 5:**
$$A = \{x : x \text{ positive integer}, 2^x < 200\}$$
$$B = \{x : x \text{ prime}, x < 10\}$$
List (a) A, (b) B, (c) $A \cap B$.
**Step 1:** Find $A$:
Check $2^x < 200$ for positive integers $x$:
- $2^1=2 < 200$
- $2^2=4 < 200$
- $2^3=8 < 200$
- $2^4=16 < 200$
- $2^5=32 < 200$
- $2^6=64 < 200$
- $2^7=128 < 200$
- $2^8=256 \not< 200$
So, $A = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$
**Step 2:** Find $B$ (primes less than 10):
$2,3,5,7$
**Step 3:** Find $A \cap B$:
$\{2,3,5,7\}$
