First we write the sets in Tabular form. = {x x Z, 0 x 0} Since it is the set of integers that are greater then or equal 0 and less or equal to 0. So we have = {0,,,,, 0} P = {x x is a prime number} It is the set of prime numbers between 0 and 0. Remember Prime numbers are those numbers which have only two distinct divisors. P = {,, 5, 7} Q = {x x < 70} The set Q contains the elements between 0 and 0 which has their square less or equal to 70. Q= {0,,,,, 5, 6, 7, 8} Thus we write the sets in Tabular form.

Find in each of the following: (i) =, = φ and = {} (ii) and = {, 5} (iii) = {}, = {,, } and C = {,,} (iv) and are disjoint, and C are disjoint, and the union of and is the set {, }.

(i) and = {, 5} also C = {, } SOLTION When, then = = {, 5} lso being a proper subset of implies = {} or = {5} (iii) = {}, = {,, }and C = {,,} lso C = {, } SOLTION C Since we have in the intersection of and as well as in C so we place in common part shared by the three sets in the Venn diagram. Now since is in the union of and C it means that may be in C or may be in, but cannot be in because if is in the then it must be in but is not there, thus we place in the part of C which is not shared by any other set. Same is the reason for and we place it in the set which is not shared by any other set. Now will be in, cannot be in because = {}, and is not in C.
