In a classroom,one-fifth of the boys leave the class and the ratio of the remaining boys to girls is $2:3$. If further $44$ girls leave the class,the ratio of boys to girls becomes $5:2$. How many more boys should leave the class so that the number of boys equals that of girls?

If $X$ and $Y$ are two sets such that $n(X) = 17$,$n(Y) = 23$ and $n(X \cup Y) = 38$,find $n(X \cap Y)$.

In a school,there are $21$ students in the cricket team,$26$ in the hockey team,and $29$ in the football team. Among these,$14$ play both hockey and cricket,$15$ play both hockey and football,and $12$ play both football and cricket. If $8$ students play all three games,find the total number of students in the three athletic teams.

Let $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}$ and $B = \{3, 6, 7, 9\}$. Then the number of elements in the set $\{ C \subseteq A : C \cap B \neq \phi \}$ is

Let $X = \{n \in N : 1 \leq n \leq 50\}$. If $A = \{n \in X : n \text{ is a multiple of } 2\}$ and $B = \{n \in X : n \text{ is a multiple of } 7\}$,then the number of elements in the smallest subset of $X$ containing both $A$ and $B$ is

The lengths of the sides and the diagonal of an isosceles trapezium form a two-element set $\{a, b\}$. If $a > b$,then $a / b$ equals
