Plain-text version

Let X₁, X₂, ⋯, X₂₀ and Y₁, Y₂, ⋯, Yₙ be two collections of sets. Suppose every Xᵢ contains 5 elements and every Yⱼ contains 2 elements and ⋃ᵢ₌₁²⁰ Xᵢ = S = ⋃ⱼ₌₁ⁿ Yⱼ. If each element of S belongs to exactly 10 of the Xᵢ s and to exactly 4 of the Yⱼ s, then n is (A) 10 (B) 20 (C) 100 (D) 50

Also written as: Let X_1, X_2, ..., X_(20) and Y_1, Y_2, ..., Y_n be two collections of sets. Suppose every X_i contains 5 elements and every Y_j contains 2 elements and union_(i=1)^(20) X_i = S = union_(j=1)^n Y_j. If each element of S belongs to exactly 10 of the X_i s and to exactly 4 of the Y_j s, then n is
