Question

Consider the following sets:

I. The set of even prime numbers

II. \(\{x\in\mathbb{R}:x^3+1=0\}\)

III. \(\{n\in\mathbb{Z}:n^2<1\}\)

How many of the above are null sets?

This question was previously asked in
CDS 2 2026 Maths Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

None

Set I is \(\{2\}\) since \(2\) is the only even prime number, which is non-empty. Set II is \(\{-1\}\) since \(x^3=-1\) gives \(x=-1\), which is non-empty. Set III is \(\{0\}\) since only \(n=0\) among integers satisfies \(n^2<1\), which is non-empty. So none of the three sets is a null set.
