set-theory-aptitude-mcq

The number of people who read only 1, only II and only II are

1% + 19% + 0% = 20% of total population = 20/100 × 100000 = 20000

Question : 2

The set of integers is closed with respect to which one of the following?

a) Both addition and Multiplication

b) Multiplication only

c) Addition only

d) Division

Answer: (a)

The set of integers is closed with respect to addition and multiplication.

e.g., Let z = {..., –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}

1 + 2 = 3 and –2 – 1 = –3

(for addition)

1 × 2 = 2 and 2 × 1 = 2

(for multiplication)

Hence, the number of subsets is 5.

Question : 3

The set S = {x ε N : x + 3 = 3} is a

a) infinite set

b) singleton set

c) null set

d) None of the above

Answer: (c)

Given:

S = x ε N : {x + 3 = 3}

S = { }

Thus, S is a null set.

Question : 4
