Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R).$ Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: If $\text{A}\subset\text{B}$ for any two sets $A$ and $B.$

Then, above Venn diagram represents correct relationship between $A$ and $B.$
Reason: If $\text{A}\subset\text{B},$ then all elements of $A$ is also in $B.$

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R).$ Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: The set $D = \{x : x$ is a prime number which is a divisor of $60\}$ in roster form is $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}.$
Reason: The set $E =$ the set of all letters in the word $‘\text{TRIGONOMETRY}’,$ in the roster form is $\text{\{T, R, I, G, O, N, M, E, Y\}}.$
  • A
    $A$ is true, $R$ is true; $R$ is a correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    $A$ is true, $R$ is true; $R$ is not a correct explanation of $A.$
  • C
    $A$ is true; $R$ is false.
  • $A$ is false; $R$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$A$ is false; $R$ is true.
Assertion: We can write $60 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5.$
$\therefore$ Prime factors of $60$ are $2, 3$ and $5.$
Hence, the set $D$ in roster form is $\{2, 3, 5\}.$
Reason: There are $12$ letters in the word $‘\text{TRIGONOMETRY’}$ out of which three letters $T, R$ and $O$ are repeated.
Hence, set $Z$ in the roster form is $\text{\{T, R, I, G, O, N, M, E, Y\}.}$

MCQ 31 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R)$. Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: The set $A = \{x : x$ is an even prime number greater than $2\}$ is the empty set.
Reason: The set $B = \{x : x^2 = 4, x$ is odd$\} $ is not an empty set.

    $A$ is true, $R$ is true; $R$ is not a correct explanation of $A$.
  • $A $ is true; $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false; $R$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$A $ is true; $R$ is false.
Assertion: $2$ is the only even prime number.
So, set $A$ is the empty set.
Reason: The equation $x^2 = 4$ is not satisfied by any odd value of $x$.
So, set $B$ is the empty set.

Assertion: We know that, a set which is empty or consists of a definite number of elements, is called finite, other wise the set is called infinite.
Since, set $A$ contains finite number of elements.
So, it is a finite set.
Reason: We do not know the number of elements in $B,$ but it is some natural number.
So, $B$ is also finite.
