Answer

Statement I: A = {x | x ∈ N, x2 < 26}

For x = 1, x2 = 1 < 26 ✓

For x = 2, x2 = 4 < 26 ✓

For x = 3, x2 = 9 < 26 ✓

For x = 4, x2 = 16 < 26 ✓

For x = 5, x2 = 25 < 26 ✓

For x = 6, x2 = 36 > 26 ✗

So, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} which has 5 elements i.e. n(A) = 5, not 6. So, Statement I is false.

Statement II: By definition, the number of different elements in a finite set is called its cardinal number. So, Statement II is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
