Answer
(i) A = {x : x is an integer, -3 < x ≤ 4}.
Integers greater than -3 and less than or equal to 4 are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
A = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, n(A) = 7
(ii) B = {x : x ∈ N, 3x - 6 < 9}.
3x - 6 < 9
⇒ 3x < 9 + 6
⇒ 3x < 15
⇒ x <
⇒ x < 5.
Since x is a natural number (N), x can be 1, 2, 3, 4.
B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, n(B) = 4
(iii) C = {x : x = n2, n ∈ N, 10 < n < 16}.
n can be 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Calculating x(n2) = (11)2, (12)2, (13)2, (14)2, (15)2
= (11 x 11), (12 x 12), (13 x 13), (14 x 14), (15 x 15)
= 121, 144, 169, 196, 225.
C = {121, 144, 169, 196, 225}, n(C) = 5
(iv) D = {x : x ∈ W, x - 3 < 2}.
x - 3 < 2
⇒ x < 2 + 3
⇒ x < 5
Since x is a whole number (W), x can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, n(D) = 5
(v) E = {x : x = 2n - 1, n ∈ N and n < 6}.
n < 6, so n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Calculating x = (2n - 1):
For n = 1, x = 2(1) - 1 = 1
For n = 2, x = 2(2) - 1 = 3
For n = 3, x = 2(3) - 1 = 5
For n = 4, x = 2(4) - 1 = 7
For n = 5, x = 2(5) - 1 = 9
E = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, n(E) = 5
(vi) F = {x : x is a letter in the word 'COMMON'}.
The letters in 'COMMON' are C, O, M, M, O, N.
Removing repeated letters, we get C, O, M, N.
F = {C, O, M, N}, n(F) = 4
(vii) G = {x : x is a primary colour}.
The primary colours are Red, Blue, and Yellow.
G = {Red, Blue, Yellow}, n(G) = 3
(viii) H = {x : x is a digit in the numeral 2362}.
The digits in 2362 are 2, 3, 6, 2.
Removing the repeated digit '2', we get 2, 3, 6.
H = {2, 3, 6}, n(H) = 3
(ix) J = .
n can be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Calculating x = :
For n = 5,
For n = 6,
For n = 7,
For n = 8,
For n = 9,
, n(J) = 5
