Refer to the above Venn diagram.

Define universal set , the set of natural numbers.

Define sets and as follows:

Which of the following numbers is an element of the set represented by the gray area in the diagram?

Answer

The gray area represents the set of all elements that are in but not in .

is the set of integers that, when divided by 3, yield remainder 2. Therefore, we can eliminate 102 and 105, both multiples of 3, and 103, which, when divided by 3, yields remainder 1.

is the set of integers that, when divided by 4, yield remainder 1. Since we do not want an element from this set, we can eliminate 101, but not 104.

104 is the correct choice.
