Prefer reading to quizzing? All 10 questions are listed below with the answer and explanation under each one.
1. If A ⊂ B, which of the following statements is ALWAYS TRUE?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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}?
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').
Answer: A
n(A') = n(ξ) - n(A) = 20 - 7 = 13.
8. If set S has 3 elements, how many subsets does it have?
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?
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?
Answer: C
Factors of 12 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}. 5 is not a factor of 12, so 5 ∉ T.
