Short Answer Type Questions
Q1. Write the following sets in the roaster from

Q2. Write the following sets in the roaster form:

Q3. If Y = {x\x is a positive factor of the number 2^P(2^P – 1), where 2^P – 1 is a prime number}. Write Y in the roaster form.

Sol: Y- {x | x is a positive factor of the number 2^P-1 (2^P – 1), where 2^P – 1 is a prime number}.
So, the factors of 2^P-1 are 1,2,2²,2³,…, 2^{P- 1}.
Y= {1,2,2²,2³, …,2^p-1,2^p-1}

Q4. State which of the following statements are true and which are false. Justify your answer.
(i) 35 ∈ {x | x has exactly four positive factors}.
(ii) 128 e {y | the sum of all the positive factorsofy is 2y}
(iii) 3∉{x|x⁴-5x³ + 2jc²-112x + 6 = 0}
(iv) 496 ∉{y | the sum of all the positive factors of y is 2y}.
Sol: (i) The factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7 and 35. So, 35 is an element of the set. Hence, statement is true.

(ii) The factors of 128 hre 1,2,4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128.
Sum of factors = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 255 * 2 x 128 Hence, statement is false.

(iii) We have, x⁴ – 5x³ + 2x² – 1 12jc + 6 = 0 Forx = 3, we have
(3)⁴ – 5(3)³ + 2(3)² – 112(3) + 6 = 0
=> 81 – 135 + 18-336 + 6 = 0
=>    -346 = 0, which is not true.
So 3 is not an element of the set
Hence, statement is true.

(iv) 496 = 2⁴ x 31
So, the factors of 496 are 1,2,4, 8, 16,31,62, 124,248 and 496.
Sum of factors = 1 +2 + 4 + 8+ 16 + 31+62+124 + 248 + 496 = 992 = 2(496)
So, 496 is the element of the set Hence, statement is false

Q5. Given L, = {1,2, 3,4},M= {3,4, 5, 6} and N= {1,3,5}
Verify that L-(M⋃N) = (L-M)⋂(L-N)
Sol: Given L,= {1,2, 3,4}, M= {3,4,5,6} and N= {1,3,5}
M⋃N= {1,3,4, 5,6}
L – (M⋃N) = {2}
Now, L-M= {1, 2} and L-N= {2,4}
{L-M) ⋂{L-N)= {2}
Hence, L-{M⋃N) = {L-M) ⋂ (L-N).

(i) A⊂ A∪ B
(ii) A⊂B⟺A∪B = B

Q7. Given that N= {1,2,3, …, 100}. Then write
(i) the subset of N whose elements are even numbers.
(ii) the subset of N whose element are perfect square numbers.
Sol: We have, N= {1,2, 3,4,…, 100}
(i) subset of N whose elements are even numbers = {2,4, 6, 8,…, 100}
(ii) subset of N whose elements are perfect square = {1,4, 9, 16, 25, 36,49, 64, 81, 100}
