A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects, denoted by a capital letter, with membership written x∈A. A set can be described in roster form (all elements listed inside braces, e.g. {1,2,3,4,5}) or in set-builder form (a defining rule, e.g. {x:x∈N, x<6}). Both forms describe exactly the same set whenever they name the same …
A set can only list each of its distinct elements once, no matter how many times a letter repeats in the word it's built from. …
A set lists each distinct letter of the word only once, even if it repeats in the word.
The word SCHOOL is made of the letters S, C, H, O, O, L. Even though O appears twice in the word, in set-builder/roster form each element of a set is written only once (sets ha …

›Reveal solutionSolution
Solve x2≤4 for integers: −2≤x≤2, giving the roster form {−2,−1,0,1,2}.
The set is defined by the rule x2≤4 with x an integer. Solving the inequality: x2≤4⟹−2≤x≤2. The integers in this range are −2,−1,0,1,2 — five elemen …

›Reveal solutionSolution
A={x∈N:(x−2)(x−3)=0}={2,3}, so n(A)=2.
The condition (x−2)(x−3)=0 holds when x=2 or x=3 (by the zero-product rule). Both values are natural numbers, so A={2,3}.

›Reveal solutionSolution
X is the set of all prime numbers in N, which is an infinite set, so n(X) cannot be any of the finite values listed.
X={x∈N:x is a prime number}={2,3,5,7,11,…}.

A={x:x2=4}={2,−2}, the two real solutions of x2=4.
Solving x2=4: taking the square root of both sides gives x=±2, i.e., x=2 or x=−2. Both satisfy the ori …

›Reveal solutionSolution
X={x:9x2−6x+1=0}={1/3}, since the quadratic is a perfect square with a repeated root.
Factorise: 9x2−6x+1=(3x−1)2=0, so x=1/3 (a repeated/double root). As a set, an element is listed only …

›Reveal solutionSolution
A={x:x3−4x=0}={0,2,−2}.
Factorise: x3−4x=x(x2−4)=x(x−2)(x+2)=0. This gives x=0, x=2, or x=−2.

- CBSE 2025Set ANNUAL1 markQ.Write True or False: The collection of the best eleven batsmen of the world is an example of a set.
›Reveal solutionSolution
A set requires a well-defined collection of objects; "best eleven batsmen" is subjective and varies from person to person, so it is not a set.
For a collection to be a set, membership must be well-defined — for any given object, it must be possible to say definitely whether it belongs to the collection or not.

- CBSE 2024Set ANNUAL1 markMCQQ.The solution set of the equation x2−3x+2=0 in roster form is(a) {1,−2}(b) {3,4}(c) {1,2}(d) None of these
›Reveal solutionSolution
Factor the quadratic to get the two roots, then list them as a set — roster form.
We are given x2−3x+2=0. Factor by splitting the middle term: we need two numbers that multiply to 2 and add to −3, which are −1 and −2.
x2−x−2x+2=0
x(x−1)−2(x−1)=0 …

The set of distinct letters in "TRIGONOMETRY" is {T,R,I,G,O,N,M,E,Y}, a set of 9 elements.
Writing out the letters of TRIGONOMETRY: T, R, I, G, O, N, O, M, E, T, R, Y. A set cannot contain repeated elements, so each letter is listed only once even though T, R and O each occur twice. Collecting t …

›Reveal solutionSolution
B={0,1,2,3,4}, the integers strictly between −21 and 29.
We are given B={x:x is an integer, −21<x<29}.
Since −21=−0.5 and 29=4.5, we list every integer strictly greater than −0.5 and strictly less than 4.5. The smallest integer greater than −0.5 is 0 (not −1, since −1 is less than −0.5), and the larges …
