Sets-Relations-And-Functions Question 159

Question: Which of the following sets is a finite set?

Options:

A) $A=\{x: x \in Z$ and $x^2-5 x+6=0\}$

B) $B=\{x: x \in Z$ and $x^2$ is even $\}$

C) $D=\{x: x \in Z$ and $x>-10\}$

D) All of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a]

a. $ A=\{x:x\in Z \ and \ x^{2}-5x+6=0\} $ $ =\{2,3\} $
So, A is a finite set

b. $ B=\{x:x\in Z \ and \ x^{2} \ is \ even\} $ $ =\{…,-6,-4,-2,0,2,4,6…\} $
Clearly, B is an infinite set.

c. $ D=\{x:x\in Z \ and \ x>-10\} $ $ =\{-9,-8,-7,…\} $
Clearly, D is an infinite set.
