Understand the Problem

The question asks which set represents the intersection of sets C and A based on the provided Venn diagram, involving logical reasoning with the given numbers in the diagram.

Answer

The intersection \( A \cap C \) is \( \{50\} \).
Answer for screen readers

The intersection of sets ( A ) and ( C ) is ( {50} ).

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the Sets and Intersection
    In the given Venn diagram, we need to find the intersection of sets ( A ) and ( C ). The intersection is characterized by elements that are common to both sets.

  2. Find Elements in Set A
    Set ( A ) contains numbers:

    • 10 (only in A)
    • 70 (in intersection of A and B)
    • 50 (in intersection of A and C)
    • 60 (only in A)
    • Total numbers are 10, 50, 60, 70.
  3. Find Elements in Set C
    Set ( C ) contains the numbers:

    • 30 (only in C)
    • 50 (in intersection of A and C)
    • Total numbers are 30, 50.
  4. Identify Intersection of A and C
    The intersection ( A \cap C ) consists of the common elements from both sets ( A ) and ( C ). The only common number between ( A ) and ( C ) is:

    • 50
  5. List the Elements of the Intersection
    Thus, the final intersection is:
    $$ A \cap C = {50} $$

The intersection of sets ( A ) and ( C ) is ( {50} ).

More Information

The intersection set ( A \cap C ) shows elements that are present in both sets. In this case, it's important for logical reasoning, referencing how sets work in a Venn diagram.

Tips

  • Not considering elements unique to sets: Sometimes, people confuse intersections with unions. Remember, intersections only include items common to both sets.
