Here's the Solution to this Question


From the diagram,

The universal set U=91 elements

Number of elements in A, n(A) = 20

Number of elements in B, n(B) = 44

Number of elements in A and B, n(AnB)=6


To get the number of elements in A but not in B which is denoted by n(AnB');

n(AnB') = n(A) - n(AnB)

= 20 - 6

= 14

Hence, 14 elements are in A but not in B.

(Shown in the diagram above).
