For the universal set\\{ 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 \\} , find its subsets A,B,Cand D
A) \\{ even numbers\\}
B) \\{ odd numbers greater than 8 \\}
C) Prime numbers
D) even numbers less than 10
Solution
First we have to define what the terms we need to solve the problem are.
A number which is divisible by 2and generates a remainder of 0is called an even number.
Odd numbers are whole numbers that cannot be divided exactly into pairs. Odd numbers, when divided by2, leave a remainder of 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 …are sequential odd numbers. Odd numbers have the digits 1,3,5,7or9 in their one’s place.
Prime numbers are whole numbers greater than1 , that have only two factors 1and the number itself. Prime numbers are divisible only by the number 1or itself.
Complete step by step answer:
Since we know the definition of even number, odd number and prime number we further approach to find option A which is the set of all even numbers in the given set.
Thus 4,6,8,10,12are the numbers which are divisible by 2and generates a remainder zero
Hence A=4,6,8,10,12
Now for option Bwhich is the set of all odd numbers also greater than 8
Thus, odd numbers also greater that 8 as seen 9,11,13are the numbers which are cannot divided exactly two pairs and leaves a remainder 1,3,5,…
Hence B= 9,11,13
Now for option C which is a set of all prime number to find from universal set
Since Prime numbers are greater than 1, that have only two factors 1and the number itself which are C= 5,7,11,13
And finally, D is the even numbers also less that 10
which are D= 4,6,8even numbers also less that 10
Hence A=4,6,8,10,12, B=9,11,13, C= 5,7,11,13and D= 4,6,8
Note: We find even numbers, odd numbers, prime numbers all in the universal set only
And A,B,Cand D are the subsets of the given universal set. Also, the universal set does not contain any repeated elements.
