Problem

Sets $A$ and $B$, shown in the Venn diagram, have the same number of elements. Their union has $2007$ elements and their intersection has $1001$ elements. Find the number of elements in $A$.

[asy] defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)); draw(Circle(origin, 5)); draw(Circle((5,0), 5)); label("$A$", (0,5), N); label("$B$", (5,5), N); label("$1001$", (2.5, -0.5), N);[/asy]

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 503 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 1006 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 1504 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 1507 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ 1510$

Solution

Lets make x be the number of elements in A and B which is equal.

Then we could form equation 2x-1001 = 2007

2x = 3008

x = 1504

The answer is C
