Step 1 — List and study the given elements. A={2,4,6,8,10}A = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}. All five elements are even, and they are natural numbers.

Step 2 — Find the upper bound. The largest element is 10, and the next even number, 12, is not included — so the defining condition should stop just after 10; "x<11x < 11" captures exactly 2,4,6,8,102, 4, 6, 8, 10 among the even natural numbers (the next even number 12 is excluded, and choosing x<11x < 11 rather than x≤10x \le 10 is simply a stylistic choice — both work).

Step 3 — Write the rule. xx must be a natural number, even, and less than 11.

✓Final answer

A={x:x∈N,x is even,x<11}A = \{x : x \in \mathbb{N}, x \text{ is even}, x < 11\}
