1. **Problem 3:** Given a Venn diagram with universal set $\varepsilon = 350$, $n(C) = 200$ (families owning a car), $n(M) = 120$ (families owning a motor-cycle), and subsets labeled $x$, $y$, $z$, and $k$ as shown.
2. We know:
$$n(\varepsilon) = x + y + z + k = 350$$
$$n(C) = x + y = 200$$
$$n(M) = y + z = 120$$
3. (a) To find the smallest possible value of $k$, maximize $x + y + z$ under the constraints.
From $n(C)$ and $n(M)$:
$$x = 200 - y$$
$$z = 120 - y$$
Substitute into total:
$$x + y + z + k = 350 \implies (200 - y) + y + (120 - y) + k = 350$$
Simplify:
$$200 - y + y + 120 - y + k = 350$$
$$320 - y + k = 350$$
$$k = 350 - 320 + y = 30 + y$$
Since $k$ must be smallest, minimize $k$ by minimizing $y$.
4. (b) To find the largest possible value of $y$, note that $x, y, z, k \geq 0$.
From $x = 200 - y \geq 0 \implies y \leq 200$
From $z = 120 - y \geq 0 \implies y \leq 120$
So $y \leq 120$.
Therefore, largest $y = 120$.
5. (a) Smallest $k$ when $y$ is smallest. Since $y \geq 0$, smallest $y = 0$.
Then:
$$k = 30 + 0 = 30$$
6. (c) Given $z = 50$, find $x$.
From $z = 120 - y$, so:
$$50 = 120 - y \implies y = 70$$
From $x = 200 - y$:
$$x = 200 - 70 = 130$$

7. **Problem 4:**
Given:
$$\varepsilon = \{x : x \text{ is an integer and } \frac{1}{2} < x < 18\}$$
$$A = \{x : x \text{ is a multiple of } 3\}$$
$$B = \{x : 9 \leq 3x - 4 < 32\}$$
8. (a) List elements of $\varepsilon$, $A$, and $B$.
- $\varepsilon$ is integers $x$ such that $0.5 < x < 18$, so:
$$\varepsilon = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 17\}$$
- $A$ multiples of 3 in $\varepsilon$:
$$A = \{3, 6, 9, 12, 15\}$$
- For $B$, solve inequalities:
$$9 \leq 3x - 4 < 32$$
Add 4:
$$13 \leq 3x < 36$$
Divide by 3:
$$\frac{13}{3} \leq x < 12$$
Since $x$ integer, $x \geq 5$ and $x < 12$, so:
$$B = \{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11\}$$
9. (b) Find $n(A \cup B')$.
First find $B'$ (complement of $B$ in $\varepsilon$):
$$B' = \varepsilon \setminus B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17\}$$
Then:
$$A \cup B' = \{3, 6, 9, 12, 15\} \cup \{1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17\}$$
Combine and remove duplicates:
$$A \cup B' = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17\}$$
Count elements:
$$n(A \cup B') = 12$$
