A problem on minimization

ans is 2 but how?????

@ srk, ans is 2.

@ Anant sir, - I think it can also be got from what I did. If the last part of my soln is unclear, then I'm elaborating it here.

As already said, in the union of A,B,C there must be 2 elements that are not present in any of the sets, let me set set A as my reference.

Let these "new" elemenets be x and y.

Also let m of these elements be in B and n in C.

CASE -1, m>n.

(m,n)=(2,1).

So that gives \left|A\cup C \right|=100.

\left|A\cup B \right|=98 & \left|C\cup B \right|=99.

Also \boxed{ \sum{\left|C\cup B \right|}=297}....(1).

CASE-II m=n.

a) x in B, y in C.
b) x,y present in both sets B and C, that in the previous fashion gives a) \sum{|A\cap B|}>297 & for b) \sum{|A\cap B|}=297.

CASE 3 when n>m. (n,m)=(2,0) (2,1) - in similar fashion we have for (n,m)=(2,0) \sum{|A\cap B|}> 297 & for (n,m)=(2,1) \sum{|A\cap B|}= 297.

Thus minimum {|A\cap B \cap C|}= 297-\left(\sum{|A|} \right)+\sum{|A\cup B\cup C|} =98.

Now pls reply, whether correct or not.

IF x,y belongs toR AND x²+y² +xy=1,then minimum value of

x³y+xy³+4=?

Sorry that's wrong sign in my previous post. Editing.

if \left| A\bigcap{B\bigcap{C}}\right| <\ 97 then how can be it is a problem of minimization

I have the following:
The given condition n(A)+n(B)+n(C)=n(AUBUC) translates to the equation
2¹⁰¹ + 2^|C| = 2^|AUBUC|
That is
1 + 2^|C|-101 = 2^|AUBUC|-101
Since LHS > 1, an odd number and same as a power of 2, we must have |C| =101 and hence |AUBUC| = 102.

Next, we have from PIE, that
|A\cup B\cup C| = \sum_\mathrm{cyc}|A|-\sum_\mathrm{cyc}|A\cap B|+|A\cap B\cap C|
Further,
|A\cap B|=|A|+|B|-|A\cup B|
and similarly for the other two intersections, so we get
|A\cap B\cap C| = |A\cup B\cup C|+(|A|+|B|+|C|)-\sum_\mathrm{cyc}|A\cup B|
Further, since A\cup B \subset A\cup B\cup C, so |A\cup B|\le |A\cup B\cup C|
and similarly for other two unions.
Hence, we get
|A\cap B\cap C|\ge |A|+|B|+|C|-2|A\cup B\cup C|=97
So, |A\cap B\cap C| is bounded below by 97.

The question is whether or not the equality be attained.

i think it will be 98 ???

it should be 98

ooohh i realized my solution is wrong...
coz if to sets are unique... the there will also subset including members of both the sets... which will increase the no. of subsets....

:( :( :( :(

the ans is zero....

hence now... unique sets so |a∩b∩c| will be zero... coz a∩b∩c is zero....

kaymant Sir please tell the correct answer

Soumik check my given sets and find error ?
i am again getting 98

consider
set A={1,2,3,4........100}
set B={3,4,5,6........102}
set C={1,2,3,4........101}
