The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of elements in the set difference \( A - B \), where: - \( A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\} \) - \( B = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\} \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements of Set A**: - The set \( A \) contains the elements: \( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 \). 2. **Identify the Elements of Set B**: - The set \( B \) contains the elements: \( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 \). 3. **Find the Set Difference \( A - B \)**: - The set difference \( A - B \) consists of elements that are in \( A \) but not in \( B \). - We will remove all elements of \( B \) from \( A \): - Start with \( A \): \( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 \) - Remove \( 2 \): Remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 \) - Remove \( 4 \): Remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 \) - Remove \( 6 \): Remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 \) - Remove \( 8 \): Remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 \) - Remove \( 10 \): Remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 \) 4. **List the Remaining Elements**: - After removing all elements of \( B \) from \( A \), the remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 \). 5. **Count the Number of Elements in \( A - B \)**: - The remaining elements are \( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 \). - Count these elements: There are 5 elements. ### Final Answer: The number of elements in \( A - B \) is \( 5 \). ---
