Question 3.
(i) Is {1, 2, 4, 16, 64} = {x : x is a factor of 32} ? Give reason.
(ii) Is {x : x is a factor of 27} ≠ {3, 9, 27, 54} ? Give reason.
(iii) Write the set of even factors of 124.
(iv) Write the set of odd factors of 72.
(v) Write the set of prime factors of 3234.
(vi) Is {x : x2 – 7x + 12 = 0} = {3, 4} ?
(vii) Is {x : x2 – 5x – 6 = 0} = {2, 3} ?
Solution:
(i) No, {1, 2, 4, 16, 64} ≠ {x : x is factor of 32}
Because 64 is not a factor of 32
(ii) Yes, {x : x is a factor of 27} + {3, 9, 27, 54}
Because 54 is not a factor of 27
(iii) 1 x 124 = 124
2 x 62 = 124
4 x 31 = 124
Factors of 124 = 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124

(iv) 1 x 72 = 72
2 x 36 = 72
3 x 24 = 72
4 x 18 = 72
6 x 12 = 72
8 x 9 = 72
Factors of 72 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Set of odd factors of 72 = {1, 3, 9}

(ii) Roster form of the set of letters in the word “UNIVERSAL” = {u, n, i, v, e, r, s, a, l}
(iii) A = {x : x = y + 3, y ∈ N and y > 3}
x = y + 3

(i) The set of points of intersection of two parallel lines.
(ii) A = {x : x ∈ N and 5 < x < 6}

(iv) C = {even numbers between 6 & 10}
(v) D = {prime numbers between 7 & 11}
Note : The set, which has no element in it, is called the empty or null set.
Solution:Question 6.

(ii) Are the sets A = {b, c, d, e} and B = {x : x is a letter in the word ‘MASTER’} joint ?
Note :
(i) Two sets are said to be joint sets, if they have atleast one element in common.

(ii) Set of integers and set of natural numbers.
(iii) Set of whole numbers and set of multiples of 3.
(iv) P = {5, 6, 7, 8} and M = {x : x ∈ W and x < 4}
Note : Two sets are said to be equivalent, if they contain the same number of elements.
Solution:
B = {3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
n (B) = 7
Cardinal number of set A = 6 and cardinal number of set B = 7
Set A and set B are not equivalent.
(ii) Set of integers has infinite number of elements. Set of natural numbers has infinite number of elements.
Set of integers and set of natural numbers are equivalent because both these sets have infinite number of elements.
(iii) Set of whole numbers, has infinite number of elements. Set of multiples of 3, has infinite number of element.
Set of whole numbers and set of multiples of 3 are equivalent because both these sets have infinite number of elements.
(iv) P = {5,6,7,8}
n (P) = 4
M = {x : x ∈ W and x ≤ 4}M = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
n (M) = 5
