Two sets having identical elements are known as
a.
null sets
b. equal sets
C.
disjoint sets
d. None of the above
Answers
Option b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
Two sets having identical elements
To find:-
What type of these sets ?
Solution:-
Two sets having identical elements then the two sets are called Equal sets .
If A and B are having identical elements then both A and B are called equal sets and it is denoted by A=B.
That means All elements in A are in B and all elements in B area also in A.
Answer:-
Two sets having identical elements then the two sets are called Equal sets .
Options wise explanation:-
Null sets :-
A set having no element in it is called a null or void or empty set.
Ex:-
A is a set of whole numbers less than 0
Dis joint sets:-
If two sets having no elements in common then they are called Dis joint sets.
If A and B are dis joint sets then AnB = { }
n(AnB) = 0.
Solution The required numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So, the given set in the roster form
is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Example 3 Write the set A = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, . . . }in set-builder form.
Solution We may write the set A as
A = {x : x is the square of a natural number}
Alternatively, we can write
A = {x : x = n2
, where n ∈ N}
Example 4 Write the set
123456 { }
234567
,,,,, in the set-builder form.
Solution We see that each member in the given set has the numerator one less than
the denominator. Also, the numerator begin from 1 and do not exceed 6. Hence, in the
set-builder form the given set is
where is a natural number and 1 6

Example 5 Match each of the set on the left described in the roster form with the
same set on the right described in the set-builder form :
(i) {P, R, I, N, C, A, L} (a) { x : x is a positive integer and is a divisor of 18}
(ii) { 0 } (b) { x : x is an integer and x2 – 9 = 0}
(iii) {1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18} (c) {x : x is an integer and x + 1= 1}
(iv) {3, –3} (d) {x : x is a letter of the word PRINCIPAL}
Solution Since in (d), there are 9 letters in the word PRINCIPAL and two letters P and I
are repeated, so (i) matches (d). Similarly, (ii) matches (c) as x + 1 = 1 implies
x = 0. Also, 1, 2 ,3, 6, 9, 18 are all divisors of 18 and so (iii) matches (a). Finally, x2 – 9 = 0
implies x = 3, –3 and so (iv) matches (b).
