Q. 4: Let X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. If n represent any member of X, express the following as sets:
(i) n ∈ X but 2n ∉ X
(ii) n + 5 = 8
(iii) n is greater than 4
Answers
(i) For X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, it is given that n ∈ X, but 2n ∉ X.
Let, A = {x | x ∈ X and 2x ∉ X}
Now, 1 ∉ A as 2.1 = 2 ∈ X
2 ∉ A as 2.2 = 4 ∈ X
3 ∉ A as 2.3 = 6 ∈ X
But 4 ∈ A as 2.4 = 8 ∉ X
5 ∈ A as 2.5 = 10 ∉ X
6 ∈ A as 2.6 = 12 ∉ X
Therefore, A = {4, 5, 6}
(ii) Let B = {x | x ∈ X and x + 5 = 8}
Here, B = {3} as x = 3 ∈ X and 3 + 5 = 8 and there is no other element belonging to X such that x + 5 = 8.
(iii) Let C = {x | x ∈ X, x > 4}
Therefore, C = {5, 6}
