Which of the following sets are finite or infinite
(i) The set of months of a year
(ii) {1, 2, 3, . . .}
(iii) {1, 2, 3, . . .99, 100}
(iv) The set of positive integers greater than 100.
(v) The set of prime numbers less than 99
(i) Given: The set of months of a year.
As we know set is a collection of well defined objects.
Let we represent the given set in roaster form:
⇒ Set of months of a year is {January, February, march, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December}.
Because the set contain 12 elements. Hence, it is a finite set.
(ii) Given: {1, 2, 3, . . .}.
As we know set is a collection of well defined objects.
As it is already represented in roaster form:
⇒ Set = {1, 2, 3, . . .}.
Because the set contain infinite number of natural numbers. Hence, it is an infinite set.
(iii) Given: {1, 2, 3, . . .99, 100}.
As we know set is a collection of well defined objects.
As it is already represented in roaster form:
⇒ Set = {1, 2, 3, . . .99, 100}.
Because the set contain finite number from 1 to 100.Hence, it is a finite set.
(iv) Given: The set of positive integers greater than 100.
As we know set is a collection of well defined objects.
Let we represent the set in roaster form:
⇒ Set of positive integers greater than 100 = {100,101,102,…}.
Because the set contain an infinite number from 100 to infinity. Hence, it is an infinite set.
(v) Given: The set of prime numbers less than 99.
As we know set is a collection of well defined objects.
Let we represent the set in roaster form:
⇒ The set of prime numbers less than 99 = {2, 3, . . .99}.
Because the set contain finite prime number from 2 to 99. Hence, it is a finite set.
