The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two sets given: 1. Set \( X = \{ x : x > 0, x^2 < 0 \} \) 2. Set \( Y = \{ \text{flower, Churchill, moon, Kargil} \} \) ### Step 1: Analyze Set \( X \) - The condition for set \( X \) states that \( x \) must be greater than 0 and \( x^2 \) must be less than 0. - Since \( x > 0 \), the possible values of \( x \) could be any positive number (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...). - However, the condition \( x^2 < 0 \) is problematic. The square of any real number (whether positive, negative, or zero) is always non-negative. Therefore, \( x^2 \) can never be less than 0. **Conclusion for Set \( X \)**: Since there are no values of \( x \) that satisfy both conditions, set \( X \) is an empty set (null set). ### Step 2: Determine if Set \( X \) is Well-Defined - An empty set is considered a well-defined set in set theory. Therefore, set \( X \) is well-defined, even though it contains no elements. ### Step 3: Analyze Set \( Y \) - Set \( Y \) consists of the elements: flower, Churchill, moon, and Kargil. - All of these elements are clearly defined and listed. **Conclusion for Set \( Y \)**: Set \( Y \) is well-defined since it contains specific, identifiable elements. ### Step 4: Conclusion - Both sets \( X \) and \( Y \) are well-defined. - Therefore, the correct statement is that both \( X \) and \( Y \) are well-defined sets. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Both \( X \) and \( Y \) are well-defined.** ---
