What will be the set of the interval (a, b]?(a) {x: a < x < b}(b) {x: a ≤ x ≤ b}(c) {x: a < x ≤ b}(d) {x: a ≤ x < b}I got this question in semester exam.Origin of the question is Sets and their Representations in division Sets of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT choice is (c) {x: a < x ≤ b}

To EXPLAIN I would say: The symbol ( ) implies that the value will always be LESS than or greater than the x value i.e. end points are not included.

{ } implies that all the values that does not satisfy a given interval are included inside {}.

[ ] implies that the value will always be less than EQUAL to or greater than equal to the x value i.e. end points are included. This is possible only when both a and b are finite.
