The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following collections are sets, we need to apply the definition of a set: a set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects. Let's analyze each collection step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Collection of odd natural numbers less than 50**: - The odd natural numbers less than 50 are: 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 49. - This collection is well-defined and consists of distinct objects. - **Conclusion**: This is a set. 2. **Collection of four colors of a rainbow**: - A rainbow has seven colors: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red. - Different people may choose different combinations of four colors, leading to ambiguity. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. 3. **Collection of first three days of a week**: - The first three days of the week are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. - This collection is well-defined and consists of distinct objects. - **Conclusion**: This is a set. 4. **Collection of all tall students of your class**: - The definition of "tall" can vary from person to person, leading to confusion. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. 5. **Collection of all clever students of your school**: - Similar to the previous case, the definition of "clever" is subjective and varies. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. 6. **Collection of all rich people of Bengaluru**: - The definition of "rich" is also subjective and can differ based on perspective. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. 7. **Collection of some multiples of 5**: - The term "some" is vague; it does not specify how many multiples to include. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. 8. **Collection of all prime numbers**: - Prime numbers are well-defined: they are natural numbers greater than 1 with exactly two distinct positive divisors (1 and the number itself). - The collection includes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ... - **Conclusion**: This is a set. 9. **Collection of all even integers which lie between -5 and 15**: - The even integers in this range are: -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14. - This collection is well-defined and consists of distinct objects. - **Conclusion**: This is a set. 10. **Collection of all good cricket players of India**: - The definition of "good" can vary greatly among individuals. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. 11. **Collection of three youngest students of your class**: - The ages of students can be compared to find the three youngest, making this collection well-defined. - **Conclusion**: This is a set. 12. **Collection of three healthy students of your class**: - The definition of "healthy" can differ from person to person, leading to ambiguity. - **Conclusion**: This is not a set. ### Final Summary: - **Sets**: (i), (iii), (viii), (ix), (xi) - **Not Sets**: (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (x), (xii)
