Set Analysis: Identifying True Statements

The question asks to identify which statements about sets are true. Let's analyze each statement:

Statement A Analysis

Set A = {x : x $\in$ R and 2 < x < 3} is described as a null set.

  • A null set (or empty set) contains no elements.
  • The set A contains all real numbers strictly between 2 and 3.
  • Examples include 2.1, 2.5, $\sqrt{5}$, etc.
  • Since there are infinitely many real numbers between 2 and 3, the set is not empty.
  • Therefore, Statement A is false.

Statement B Analysis

Set A = {x : x $\in$ R and 2 < x < 4} is described as a singleton set.

  • A singleton set contains exactly one element.
  • The set A contains all real numbers strictly between 2 and 4.
  • Examples include 2.5, 3, $\sqrt{10}$, etc.
  • Since there are infinitely many real numbers between 2 and 4, the set is not a singleton.
  • Therefore, Statement B is false.

Statement C Analysis

Set A = {x : x $\in$ R and 1 < x < 9} is described as an infinite set.

  • The set A contains all real numbers strictly between 1 and 9.
  • There are infinitely many real numbers in this interval (e.g., 1.1, 5, $\pi$, 8.99).
  • Therefore, Statement C is true.

Statement D Analysis

Set A = {x : x $\in$ R and 1 < x < 9} is described as a finite set.

  • As established in the analysis of Statement C, this set contains infinitely many elements.
  • A finite set contains a countable number of elements.
  • Therefore, Statement D is false.

Statement E Analysis

Set A = {a, b, c, d, e} and Set B = {c, d, a, e, b} are described as equal sets.

  • Two sets are considered equal if and only if they contain exactly the same elements, regardless of the order of elements.
  • Set A contains {a, b, c, d, e}.
  • Set B contains {c, d, a, e, b}.
  • Both sets contain the same five distinct elements.
  • Therefore, Statement E is true.

Conclusion

The true statements are C and E.

The correct option is the one that lists both C and E.

Correct Option: 4. C and E only

Important Questions from Set Theory and Venn Diagram (Notes)

  1. Match List-I with List-II
     

    List-1List-II
    (A) If X and Y are two sets such that n(X)= 17, n(Y)=23, n(X $\cup$ Y)=38, then n(X $\cap$ Y) is(I) 20
    (B)) If n(X) = 28,n(Y) = 32,n(X$\cap$Y) = 10, then n(X$\cup$Y) is(II) 10
    (C) If n(X) = 10, then n(7X) is(III) 50
    (D) If n(Y) = 20, then n($\frac{Y}{2}$) is(IV) 2
