MCQ
Which of the following sets are convex?
  • A
    $\{(\text{x},\text{y}):\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2\geq1\}$
  • B
    $\{(\text{x},\text{y}):\text{y}^2\geq\text{x}\}$
  • C
    $\{(\text{x},\text{y}):3\text{x}^2+4\text{y}^2\geq5\}$
  • $\{(\text{x},\text{y}):\text{y}\geq2,\text{y}\leq4\}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\{(\text{x},\text{y}):\text{y}\geq2,\text{y}\leq4\}$
is the region between two parallel lines, so any line segment joining any two points in it lies in it.
Hence, it is a convex set.
