CHAPTER 1: SETS
1) Write the following sets in the roster form
i) A = {x | x is a positive integer less than 10 and 2x – 1 is an odd number}
ii) Y = {x | x is a positive factor of the number 2p-1(2p – 1), where 2p – 1 is a prime
number}.
2) For all sets A, B and C, Is (A – B) ∩ (C – B) = (A ∩ C) – B? Justify your answer.
3) For all sets A, B and C, show that (A – B) ∩ (C – B) = A – (B ∪ C)
4) Simplify : (A ∩ B′)′ ∪ (B ∩ C) (A′ ∪ B)
5) Let P be the set of prime numbers and let S = {t | 2t – 1 is a prime}. Prove that S ⊂ P.
6) If X = {8n – 7n – 1 | n ∈ N} and Y = {49n – 49 | n ∈ N}. Then show that X = Y
7) Each set Xr contains 5 elements and each set Yr contains 2 elements and
⋃%& "
!#$ 𝑋! = 𝑆 = ⋃!#$ 𝑌! . If each element of S belong to exactly 10 of the Xr’s and to exactly 4
of the Yr’s, then find the value of n. (20)
8) Two finite sets have m and n elements respectively. The total number of subsets of first set
is 56 more than the total number of subsets of the second set. Find the values of m and
n.
