Consider the following statements: I. If A is a subset of U and U is the Universal set, then the complement of the set A is also a subset of U. II. The complement of a Universal set is a singleton set. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
I only
Statement I is correct because the complement of \(A\), defined as \(A'=U-A\), always consists of elements of \(U\) and so is a subset of \(U\). Statement II is incorrect because the complement of the Universal set is \(U-U=\varnothing\), the empty set, not a singleton set. Hence only statement I is correct.

A professor has 24 text books on computer science and is concerned about their coverage of the topics (P) compilers, (Q) data structures and (R) Operating systems. The following data gives the number of books that contain material on these topics: n(P) = 8, n(Q) = 13, n(R) = 13, n(P ∩ R) = 3, n(P ∩ R) = 3, n(Q ∩ R) = 3, n(Q ∩ R) = 6, n(P ∩ Q ∩ R) = 2, where n(x) is the cardinality of the set x. Then the number of text books that have no material on compilers is
