1. If A ⊂ B, which of the following statements is ALWAYS TRUE?

  1. Every element of B is in A
  2. Every element of A is in B
  3. n(A) is greater than n(B)
  4. A' = B
Show answer

Answer: B

By definition of a subset, if A ⊂ B, every element of set A is also an element of set B.

2. Which of the following sets is an EMPTY SET?

  1. {x : x is a prime number and even}
  2. {x : x is a month with 32 days}
  3. {x : x is a multiple of 3 less than 5}
  4. {0}
Show answer

Answer: B

No month has 32 days, so this set contains no elements.

3. Which symbol is used to denote that an object belongs to a set?

  1. ξ
Show answer

Answer: B

The symbol ∈ denotes 'is an element of'.

4. Given set B = {x : x is a multiple of 5 and x < 25}. Which of the following is TRUE?

  1. 25 ∈ B
  2. 15 ∉ B
  3. 20 ∈ B
  4. 0 ∈ B
Show answer

Answer: C

B = {5, 10, 15, 20}. Since 20 is in set B, 20 ∈ B is true.

5. If set X = {a, b}, which of the following is NOT a subset of X?

  1. ϕ
  2. {a}
  3. {a, b}
  4. {a, b, c}
Show answer

Answer: D

{a, b, c} contains element 'c' which is not present in set X.

6. Which set notation describes set Q = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}?

  1. {x : x is an odd number less than 12}
  2. {x : x is a prime number less than 12}
  3. {x : x is a factor of 11}
  4. {x : x is a whole number less than 12}
Show answer

Answer: B

2, 3, 5, 7, and 11 are all prime numbers less than 12.

7. If n(ξ) = 20 and n(A) = 7, find n(A').

  1. 13
  2. 27
  3. 14
  4. 7
Show answer

Answer: A

n(A') = n(ξ) - n(A) = 20 - 7 = 13.

8. If set S has 3 elements, how many subsets does it have?

  1. 3
  2. 6
  3. 8
  4. 9
Show answer

Answer: C

Number of subsets = 2^n = 23 = 8.

9. Given ξ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and A = {2, 4, 6, 8}. What is the relationship between A and ξ?

  1. A = ξ
  2. A ⊂ ξ
  3. ξ ⊂ A
  4. A' = ξ
Show answer

Answer: B

All elements of A belong to universal set ξ, so A is a subset of ξ (A ⊂ ξ).

10. Given set T = {factors of 12}. Which number is NOT an element of T?

  1. 3
  2. 4
  3. 5
  4. 6
Show answer

Answer: C

Factors of 12 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}. 5 is not a factor of 12, so 5 ∉ T.
