Class 9 Maths Part 1 Practice Set 1.2 Chapter 1 Sets Questions With Answers Maharashtra Board
   Question 1.
   
   Decide which of the following are equal sets and which are not ? Justify your answer.
   
   A= {x | 3x – 1 = 2}
   
   B = {x | x is a natural number but x is neither prime nor composite}
   
   C = {x | x e N, x < 2}
   
   Solution:
   
   A= {x | 3x – 1 = 2}
   
   Here, 3x – 1 = 2
   
   ∴ 3x = 3
   
   ∴ x = 1
   
   ∴ A = {1} …(i)
  
   B = {x | x is a natural number but x is neither prime nor composite}
   
   1 is the only number which is neither prime nor composite,
   
   ∴ x = 1
   
   ∴ B = {1} …(ii)
  
   C = {x | x G N, x < 2}
   
   1 is the only natural number less than 2.
   
   ∴ x = 1
   
   ∴ C = {1} …(iii)
   
   ∴ The element in sets A, B and C is identical. … [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
   
   ∴ A, B and C are equal sets.
  
   Question 2.
   
   Decide whether set A and B are equal sets. Give reason for your answer.
   
   A = Even prime numbers
   
   B = {x | 7x – 1 = 13}
   
   Solution:
   
   A = Even prime numbers
   
   Since 2 is the only even prime number,
   
   ∴ A = {2} …(i)
   
   B= {x | 7x – 1 = 13}
   
   Here, 7x – 1 = 13
   
   ∴ 7x = 14
   
   ∴ x = 2
   
   ∴ B = {2} …(ii)
   
   ∴ The element in set A and B is identical. … [From (i) and (ii)]
   
   ∴ A and B are equal sets.
  
   Question 3.
   
   Which of the following are empty sets? Why?
   
   i. A = {a | a is a natural number smaller than zero}
   
   ii. B = {x | x
   
    2
   
   = 0}
   
   iii. C = {x | 5x – 2 = 0, x ∈N}
   
   Solution:
   
   i. A = {a| a is a natural number smaller than zero}
   
   Natural numbers begin from 1.
   
   ∴ A = { }
   
   ∴ A is an empty set.
  
   ii. B = {x | x
   
    2
   
   = 0}
   
   Here, x
   
    2
   
   = 0
   
   ∴ x = 0 … [Taking square root on both sides]
   
   ∴ B = {0}
   
   ∴B is not an empty set.
  
   iii. C = {x | 5x – 2 = 0, x ∈ N}
   
   Here, 5x – 2 = 0
   
   ∴ 5x = 2
   
   ∴ x = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\)
   
   Given, x ∈ N
   
   But, x = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) is not a natural number.
   
   ∴ C = { }
   
   ∴ C is an empty set.
  
   Question 4.
   
   Write with reasons, which of the following sets are finite or infinite.
   
   i. A = {x | x<10, xisa natural number}
   
   ii. B = {y | y < -1, y is an integer}
   
   iii. C = Set of students of class 9 from your school.
   
   iv. Set of people from your village.
   
   v. Set of apparatus in laboratory
   
   vi. Set of whole numbers
   
   vii. Set of rational number
   
   Solution:
   
   i. A={x| x < 10, x is a natural number}
   
   ∴ A = {1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7, 8, 9}
   
   The number of elements in A are limited and can be counted.
   
   ∴A is a finite set.
  
   ii. B = (y | y < -1, y is an integer}
   
   ∴ B = { …,-4, -3, -2}
   
   The number of elements in B are unlimited and uncountable.
   
   ∴ B is an infinite set.
  
   iii. C = Set of students of class 9 from your school.
   
   The number of students in a class is limited and can be counted.
   
   ∴ C is a finite set.
  
   iv. Set of people from your village.
   
   The number of people in a village is limited and can be counted.
   
   ∴ Given set is a finite set.
  
   v. Set of apparatus in laboratory
   
   The number of apparatus in the laboratory are limited and can be counted.
   
   ∴ Given set is a finite set.
  
   vi. Set of whole numbers
   
   The number of elements in the set of whole numbers are unlimited and uncountable.
   
   ∴ Given set is an infinite set.
  
   vii. Set of rational number
   
   The number of elements in the set of rational numbers are unlimited and uncountable.
   
   ∴ Given set is an infinite set.
  
   Question 1.
   
   If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, then A ≠ B verify it. (Textbook pg. no. 6)
   
   Answer:
   
   Here, 4 ∈ B but 4 ∉ A
   
   ∴ A and B are not equal sets,
   
   i.e. A ≠ B
  
   Question 2.
   
   A = {x | x is prime number and 10 < x < 20} and B = {11,13,17,19}. Here A = B. Verify. (Textbook pg. no. 6)
   
   Answer:
   
   A = {x | x is prime number and 10 < x < 20}
   
   ∴ A = {11, 13, 17, 19}
   
   B = {11, 13, 17, 19}
   
   ∴ All the elements in set A and B are identical.
   
   ∴ A and B are equal sets, i.e. A = B
