The correct Answer is:
To determine whether each of the given sets is finite or infinite, we will analyze each set one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i) Set A: `A = {x : x ∈ N and (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0}`** 1. **Solve the equation**: The equation \((x - 1)(x - 2) = 0\) implies that \(x - 1 = 0\) or \(x - 2 = 0\). - Thus, \(x = 1\) or \(x = 2\). 2. **Identify the elements of set A**: Therefore, the elements of set A are \{1, 2\}. 3. **Determine if the set is finite or infinite**: Since there are only two elements, set A is a finite set. **Conclusion**: Set A is finite. --- **(ii) Set B: `B = {x : x ∈ N and x² = 4}`** 1. **Solve the equation**: The equation \(x^2 = 4\) gives us \(x = 2\) or \(x = -2\). 2. **Identify the elements of set B**: Since \(x\) must be a natural number (N), we only consider \(x = 2\). Thus, the elements of set B are \{2\}. 3. **Determine if the set is finite or infinite**: There is only one element, so set B is finite. **Conclusion**: Set B is finite. --- **(iii) Set C: `C = {x : x ∈ N and 2x - 1 = 0}`** 1. **Solve the equation**: The equation \(2x - 1 = 0\) simplifies to \(2x = 1\) or \(x = \frac{1}{2}\). 2. **Identify the elements of set C**: Since \(x\) must be a natural number, and \(\frac{1}{2}\) is not a natural number, there are no elements in set C. 3. **Determine if the set is finite or infinite**: An empty set is considered finite as it has a countable number of elements (zero in this case). **Conclusion**: Set C is finite. --- **(iv) Set E: `E = {x : x ∈ N and x is prime}`** 1. **Identify the elements of set E**: The prime numbers in natural numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and so on. 2. **Determine if the set is finite or infinite**: There are infinitely many prime numbers, so set E is an infinite set. **Conclusion**: Set E is infinite. --- **(v) Set D: `D = {x : x ∈ N and x is odd}`** 1. **Identify the elements of set D**: The odd natural numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and so on. 2. **Determine if the set is finite or infinite**: There are infinitely many odd natural numbers, so set D is an infinite set. **Conclusion**: Set D is infinite. --- ### Final Summary: - Set A: Finite - Set B: Finite - Set C: Finite - Set D: Infinite - Set E: Infinite
