Sets Relations And Functions Question 11

Question: Which of the following is a singleton set?

Options:

A) $ {x:| x |=5,x\in N} $

B) $ {x:| x |=6,x\in Z} $

C) $ {x:x^{2}+2x+1=0,x\in N} $

D) $ {x:x^{2}=7,x\in N} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a]a. $ | x |=5\Rightarrow x=5[\because x\in N] $

$ \therefore $
Given set is singleton. b. $ | x |=6\Rightarrow x=-6,,6[\because x\in Z] $
$ \therefore $
Given set is not singleton. c. $ x^{2}+2x+1=0\Rightarrow {{(x+1)}^{2}}=0 $

$ \Rightarrow x=-1,-1 $
Since, $ -1\notin N, $
$ \therefore $
given set $ =\phi $ d. $ x^{2}=7\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{7}. $
