  1. (i)Find n(A).[1]
  2. (ii)Find n(B).[1]
  3. (iii)Find the elements of A U B.[1]
  4. (iv)Find the elements of A ∩ B.[1]

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2013). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [B1] (i) n (A) = 3
  2. [B1] If elements listed for (i), then they must be correct elements to get B1 leading to n (A) = 3. If they are not listed and correct answer given then B1.
  3. [B1] (ii) n (B) = 4
  4. [B1] If elements listed for (ii), then they must be correct elements leading to n (B) = 4 to get B1. If they are not listed and correct answer given then B1.
  5. [√B1] (iii) A ∪ B = {60°, 240°, 300, 420°, 600°}
  6. [√B1] Follow through on any sets listed in (i) and (ii). Do not allow any repetitions.
  7. [√B1] (iv) A ∩ B = {60°, 420°}
  8. [√B1] Follow through on any sets listed in (i) and (ii).
