Question : 17

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 : 18

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 : 19

If A = {(22n – 3n – 1)|n ∈ N} and B = {9(n – 1)|n ∈ N}, then which one of the following is correct?

a) A = B

b) B ⊂ A

c) A ⊂ B

d) Neither A is a subset of B nor B is a subset of A

Answer: (c)

Given:

A = {($2^{2n}$ – 3n – 1) | n ε N}

= {0, 9, 54, 243, ...}

and B = {9(n – 1) | n ε N}

= {0, 9, 18, 27, ...}

From the above, it is clear that A ε B.

Question : 20

Let A denote the set of quadrilaterals having two diagonals equal and bisecting each other. Let B denote the set of quadrilaterals having diagonals bisecting each other at 90°. Then A ∩ B denotes

a) the set of squares
