Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (b) {x : x is a rational number and x^2=2}

Explanation: x^2=4 => x=2,-2 where 2 is a NATURAL number so X={2}.

X={2} for even prime number. Also we have SEVEN days of the WEEK so they cannot form null set.

x^2=2 => x=√2, -√2 they both are irrational so, it is a null set.
