Answer
(i) A = {4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18}.
These are composite numbers (numbers with more than two factors) less than 20.
∴ A = {x : x is a composite number, 1 < x < 20}
(ii) B = {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30}.
These are all the natural numbers that divide 30 without a remainder.
∴ B = {x : x is a factor of 30}
(iii) C = {-9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15}.
These are multiples of 3 ranging from -9 to 15.
∴ C = {x : x = 3n, n ∈ I, -3 ≤ n ≤ 5}
(iv) D = .
Each element is a fraction where the denominator is 1 more than the numerator , and the numerator n is a natural number from 1 to 8.
∴
(v) E = .
The denominators are prime numbers between 2 and 20.
∴
(vi) F = {April, June, September, November}.
These are the specific months of the year that contain exactly 30 days.
∴ F = {x : x is a month of the year having 30 days}
(vii) G = {0}.
Zero is the only whole number that is not a natural number.
∴ G = {x : x + 1 = 1, x ∈ W}
(viii) H = { }.
An empty set contains no elements. We can describe it using a property that is impossible to satisfy.
∴ H = {x : x is a number, x ≠ x}
