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 statement correctly describes the relationship between ϕ and set A?
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}?
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?
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?
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'.
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?
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}?
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).
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?
Answer: C
The empty set is represented either by the symbol ϕ or empty curly braces {}.
