Answer» (i) A = {x : x2 ≤ 10, x ∈ Z} First of all, x is an integer thus it can be positive and negative also. x2 ≤ 10 (-3)2 = 9 < 10 (-2)2 = 4 < 10 (-1)2 = 1 < 10 02 = 0 < 10 12 = 1 < 10 22 = 4 < 10 32 = 9 < 10 The square root of next integers are greater than 10. x ≤ √10 x = 0, ±1, ±2, ±3 A = {0, ±1, ±2, ±3} (ii) B = {x : x = 1/(2n-1), 1 ≤ n ≤ 5} Let us substituting the value of n to find the values of x. At n = 1, x = 1/(2(1) - 1) = 1/1 At n = 2, x = 1/(2(2) - 1) = 1/3 At n = 3, x = 1/(2(3)-1) = 1/5 At n=4, x = 1/(2(4)-1) = 1/7 At n=5, x = 1/(2(5)-1) = 1/9 x = 1, 1/3, 1/5, 1/7, 1/9 ∴ B = {1, 1/3, 1/5, 1/7, 1/9} (iii) C = {x : x is an integer, -1/2 < x < 9/2} Given as, x is an integer between -1/2 and 9/2 Therefore, all integers between -0.5<x<4.5 are = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ∴ C = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} (iv) D={x : x is a vowel in the word “EQUATION”} Here, all vowels in the word ‘EQUATION’ are E, U, A, I, O ∴ D = {A, E, I, O, U} (v) E = {x : x is a month of a year not having 31 days} Since, a month has either 28, 29, 30, 31 days. Out of 12 months in a year which are not having 31 days are: February, April, June, September, November. ∴ E: {February, April, June, September, November} (vi) F = {x : x is a letter of the word “MISSISSIPPI”} Since, letters in word ‘MISSISSIPPI’ are M, I, S, P. ∴ F = {M, I, S, P}. |
