Question 4:
In the following, state whether A = B or not:
(i) A = {a, b, c, d}; B = {d, c, b, a}
(ii) A = {4, 8, 12, 16}; B = {8, 4, 16, 18}
(iii) A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}; B = {x: x is positive even integer and x ≤ 10}
(iv) A = {x: x is a multiple of 10}; B = {10, 15, 20, 25, 30 ...}
(i) A = {a, b, c, d}; B = {d, c, b, a}
The order in which the elements of a set are listed is not significant.
∴A = B
(ii) A = {4, 8, 12, 16}; B = {8, 4, 16, 18}
It can be seen that 12 ∈ A but 12 ∉ B.
∴A ≠ B
(iii) A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
B = {x: x is a positive even integer and x ≤ 10}
= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
∴A = B
(iv) A = {x: x is a multiple of 10}
B = {10, 15, 20, 25, 30 …}
It can be seen that 15 ∈ B but 15 ∉ A.
∴A ≠ B
