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 statement correctly describes the relationship between ϕ and set A?

  1. A ⊂ ϕ
  2. ϕ ∈ A
  3. ϕ ⊂ A
  4. n(ϕ) = 1
Show answer

Answer: C

The empty set ϕ is a subset of every set, written as ϕ ⊂ A.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. 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'.

6. Let ξ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and A = {2, 3, 5, 7}. Find A'.

  1. {1, 4, 6, 8, 9}
  2. {2, 3, 5, 7}
  3. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
  4. {6, 7, 8, 9}
Show answer

Answer: A

The complement A' consists of all elements in universal set ξ that are NOT in set A, which are {1, 4, 6, 8, 9}.

7. 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.

8. How many elements are in the set P = {x : x is a perfect square, 10 < x < 30}?

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

Answer: A

Perfect squares between 10 and 30 are 16 (4²) and 25 (5²). So P = {16, 25} and n(P) = 2.

9. Given set P = {x : x is an even number, 1 ≤ x ≤ 10}. Find n(P).

  1. 4
  2. 5
  3. 10
  4. 6
Show answer

Answer: B

P = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}. The total number of elements n(P) is 5.

10. Which of the following represents an empty set?

  1. {0}
  2. { ϕ }
  3. ϕ
  4. { null }
Show answer

Answer: C

The empty set is represented either by the symbol ϕ or empty curly braces {}.
