Q.List all the elements of the following sets:
(i) A = {x: x is an odd natural number}
(ii) B = {x: x is an integer, -1/2 < x < 9/2}
(iii) C = {x: x is an integer, x2 ≤ 4}
(iv) D = {x: x is a letter in the word “LOYAL”}
(v) E = {x: x is a month of a year not having 31 days}
(vi) F = {x: x is a consonant in the English alphabet which proceeds k}.

Solution :
(i) A = {x: x is an odd natural number}
A = {1 , 3 , 5 ...}
(ii) B = {x: x is an integer, -1/2 < x < 9/2}
B = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 }
(iii) C = {x: x is an integer, x2 ≤ 4}
C = { -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 , 2 }
(iv) D = {x: x is a letter in the word “LOYAL”}
D = { L , O , Y , A }
(v) E = {x: x is a month of a year not having 31 days}
E = { February , April , June , September , November }
(vi) F = {x: x is a consonant in the English alphabet which proceeds k}.
F = { b , c , d , f , g , h , j }

Set :
A well defined collection of objects is known as Set .
Two methods of representing a Set are :
- Tabular or Roaster form
- Set-builder form
In Roaster form no element is repeated . For Example : LOYAL = { L ,O , Y , A}

Solution :-
(i) A = {x: x is an odd natural number}
A = {1 , 3 , 5, 7, 9....}
(ii) B = {x: x is an integer, -1/2 < x < 9/2}
B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
(iii) C = {x: x is an integer, x² ≤ 4}
C = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
(iv) D = {x: x is a letter in the word “LÒYAL”}
There are 4 letters in LÒYAL. L,O,Y,A [Because L is repeated 2 times}
D = {L, O, Y, A}
(v) E = {x: x is a month of a year not having 31 days}
Months that have not 31 days are - February, April, June, September, November
E = {February, April, June, September, November}
(vi) F = {x: x is a consonant in the English alphabet which proceeds k}.
{b, c, d, f, g, h, j}
