Let X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. If n represent any member of X, express the following as sets:(i) n ∈ X but 2n ∉ X (ii) n + 5 = 8 (iii) n is greater than 4.

Answer»

(i) For X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, it is the given that n ∈ X, but 2n ∉ X. 

Let, A = {x | x ∈ X and 2x ∉ X} 

Now, 1 ∉ A as 2.1 = 2 ∈ X 

2 ∉ A as 2.2 = 4 ∈ X 

3 ∉ A as 2.3 = 6 ∈ X 

But 4 ∈ A as 2.4 = 8 ∉ X 

5 ∈ A as 2.5 = 10 ∉ X 

6 ∈ A as 2.6 = 12 ∉ X 

So, A = {4, 5, 6} 

(ii) Let B = {x | x ∈ X and x + 5 = 8} 

Here, B = {3} 

as x = 3 ∈ X and 3 + 5 = 8 and there is no other element belonging to X such that x + 5 = 8. 

(iii) Let C = {x | x ∈ X, x > 4} 

Therefore, C = {5, 6}
