(ii) Null set [All the even natural numbers are not divisible by 2]
(Hi) Singleton set [n (C) = 1]
(iv) Null set [All the triangles has 3 sides]

Question 5.
State which pairs of sets are disjoint or overlapping?
(i) A = {f, i, a, s} and B = {a, n, f, h, s}
A = {f, i, a, s} and B = {a, n, f, h, s}
A and B are overlapping sets

(ii) C = {x : x is a prime number, x > 2} and D = {x : x is an even prime number}
C= {3, 5, 7…….}
D = {2}
C and D are disjoint sets

(iii) E = {x : x is a factor of 24} and F = {x : x is a multiple of 3, x < 30}
E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}
F = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27} [Hint: E ∩ F = {3, 6, 24, …….}]
E and F are overlapping sets

(iii) D = {p, q, r, s}
(iv) E = Ø
Solution:
(i) A = {a, b)
P(A) = {{},{a},{b}, {a, b}}

(ii) B = {1, 2, 3}
P(B) = {{}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {2, 3}, {1,3}, {1,2,3}}

P(D) = {{},{p},{q},{r},{s},{p, q} {p, r} {p, s}
{q, r}, {q, s}, {r, s}, {p, q, r} {q, r, s}
{p, r, s} {p, q, s} {p, q, r, s}}

(iv) E = Ø
P(E) = {{}}
Note: (empty set is the subset of all the sets)

Question 9.
Find the number of subsets and the number of proper subsets of the following sets.
(i) W = {red, blue, yellow}
(ii) X = {x² : x ∈ N, x² ≤ 100}
Solution:
(i) W = {red, blue, yellow}
n (W) = 3
The number of subsets of W = n [P(W)] = 2m
= 23 = 8
Number of proper subsets of W = n[P(W)] – 1
= 8 – 1
= 7 (or)
Number of proper subsets of W = 2m – 1
= 23 – 1 = 8 – 1 = 7

(ii) X = {x2 : x ∈ N, x2 ≤ 100}.
X= {1,2, 3, 4, …. 10}
n(X) = 10
The number of subsets of X = n[P(X)]
= 2m
= 210 = 1024
Number of proper subsets of X = 2m – 1
= 1024 – 1
= 1023

Question 10.
(i) If n(A) = 4, find n[P(A)]
(ii) If n(A) = 0, find n[P(A)]
(Hi) If n[P(A)] = 256, find n(A)
Solution:
(i) n (A) = 4
n [P(A)] = 2m = 24
= 16

(ii) n (A) = 0
n [P(A)] = 2m = 2° = 1

(iii) n [P(A)] = 256

2m = 28
∴ n (A) = 8
