  • Question
  • Which of the following pairs of sets are not equal?


  • Options
  • A. (a) A = {1, 3, 3, 1}, B = {1, 4}
  • B. (b) A = {x: x + 2 = 2}, B = {0}
  • C. (c) A = {1, 3, 4, 4}, B = {3, 1, 4}
  • D. (d) A = {1,1/2,1/3,... }, B { 1/n : n? N } .

  • Correct Answer
  • (a) A = {1, 3, 3, 1}, B = {1, 4} 

    Explanation

    (a) A = {1, 3}; B = {1, 4}. A and B have different elements,
    ? A ? B.
    (b) A = {x: x + 2 = 2} = {0}; B = {0}. A and B have same elements,
    ? A = B.
    (c) A = {1, 3, 4, 4} = {1, 3, 4}; B = {3, 1, 4}. A and B have same elements,
    ? A = B.
    (d) A = { 1,1/2,1/3, ................ } ;
    B = {1/n : n ? N} = { 1/1,1/2,1/3,...} .
    A and B have same elements, ? A = B.
