Question 1.
State which of the given collections are sets:
(i) Collection of all poor people of Dhanbad.
(ii) Collection of all difficult problems in your maths book.
(iii) Collection of all fools.
(iv) Collection of all countries of Asia.
(v) Collection of four countries of Asia.
(vi) Collection of three cities of India whose name start with the letter ‘J’.
(vii) Collection of all people in this world over 50 year of age.
Solution:
(i) It is not set because elements are not countable.
(ii) It is also not set because problem are different to different students
(iii) It is also not set.
(iv) It is set because the countries are countable.
(v) It is not set because the elements are countable but not defined.
(vi) It is also not set because cities are not defined.
(vii) It is a set.
Question 2.
If A = (3, 5, 7, 9, 11}, then write which of the following statements are true. If a statement is not true, mention why.
(i) 3 ϵ A
(ii) 5, 9 ϵ A
(iii) 8 ∉ A
(iv) 7 ∉ A
(v) {3} ϵ A
(vi) {5, 9} ϵ A
Solution:
(i) 3 ϵ A is true. 3 is element of set.
(ii) 5, 9 ϵ A is true because these are element of set.
(iii) 8 ∉ A is true because 8 is not element of set.
(iv) It is false because 7 is element of set.
(v) It is false because {3} is different set and not element.
(vi) It is not true because (5, 9} is different set.
Question 3.
Write the following sets in the roster farm :
(i) A = (x | x is a month of a year having 30 days}
(ii) B = (x | x = 2n, n ϵ W and n < 5}
(iii) C = (x | x ϵ N and x2 < 40}
(iv) D = (all letters in the word PERMISSION}
(v) E = (x : x ϵ I and x2 < 10}
(vi) F = (x : x ϵ N, 15 < x < 50 and x is divisible by 6}
(vii) the set of whole numbers which are greater than 14 and divisible by 7.
(viii)the set of signs of four fundamental operation of arithmetic.
Solution:
(i) A= (April, June, September, November}
(ii) B = (0, 2, 4, 6, 8}
(iii) C = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(iv) D = (P, E, R, M, I, S, O, N}
(v) E = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}
(vi) F = (18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48}
(vii) (21, 28, 35, 42 }
(viii) {x, – +, -}
Question 4.
Write the following sets in set builder form :
(i) A = (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
(ii) B = (all months of a year}
(iii) C = (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday}
Solution:
(i) A = {x | x is a prime number x < 20}
(ii) B = {x : x is any month of a year}
(iii) C = {x | x is any of the first three days of a week}
Question 5.
Write the following sets in roster form and also in set builder form :
(i) A = {even whole numbers which are less than 50}
(ii) B = {two digit numbers which are perfect square}
(iii) The set of letters in the word MUSSOORIE
Solution:
(i) A = {0, 2, 4, ………. , 48}
A = {x/x ϵ W and x is an even number <50}
(ii) B = {16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81}
B = {x : x is perfect square and two digit number}
(iii) {M, U, S, O, R, I, E}
{x | x is a letter in the word MUSSORIE.
Question 6.
The sets on the left are in tabular form while the sets on the right are in set builder form. Match them.
(i) {2, 3} – (a) {x/x ϵ N and x < 6}
(ii) {P, A, Y} – (b) {x: x is a prime factor of 6}
(iii) {1, 3, 5} – (c) {x | x is an odd natural number less than 6}
(iv) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} – (d) {x/x is a letter in word PAPAYA}
Solution:
(i) {2, 3} – (b) – (b) {x: x is a prime factor of 6}
(ii) {P, A, Y} – (d) {x/x is a letter in word PAPAYA}
(iii) {1, 3, 5} – (c) {x | x is an odd natural number less than 6}
(iv) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} – (a) {x/x ϵ N and x < 6}

(ii) The set of even prime numbers.
(iii) The set of prime numbers less than one crore.
(iv) {All points on a line segment of length 3cm}.
Solution:
(i) Empty set.
(ii) Finite set.
(iii) Finite set.
(iv) Infinite set.

(i) A = {x | x is a consonant in the word HUNDRED}
(ii) B = {x/x is a vowel in the word DEHRADOON}
(iii) C = {x | x ϵ W and x2 < 50}
(iv) D = {Students of your school having 10 heads}
(v) E = {x | x is a prime between 8 and 30}
Solution:
(i) {HNDR} = 4
(ii) {E, A, O} = 3
(iii) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} = 8
