 SETS AND RELATION

SETS AND RELATIONS

Set : A set is a collection of well defined objects which are distinct from each other
Set are generally denoted by capital letters A, B, C, .... etc. and the elements of the set by a, b, c .... etc.
If a is an element of a set A, then we write a  A and say a belongs to A.
If a does not belong to A then we write a   A,
e.g. The collection of first five prime natural numbers is a set containing the elements 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.

Ex. Which of the following are sets? Justify our answer.

(i) The collection of all months of a year beginning with the letter J.
(ii) The collection of ten most talented writers of India.
(iii) The collection of all boys in your class.

Sol. (i) The collection of all months of a year beginning with the letter J is a well defined collection of objects because
one can definitely identify a month that belongs to thisv collection. Hence, this collection is a set.
(ii) The collection of ten most talented writers of India is not a well defined collection because the criteria for
determining a writer’s talent may vary from person to person. Hence, this collection is not a set.
(iii) The collection of all boys in your class is a well defined collection because you can definitely identify a boy
who belongs to this collection. Hence, this collection is a set.

Methods to Write a Set

(i) Roster Method or Tabular Method : In this method a set is described by listing elements, separated by
commas and enclose then by curly brackets. Note that while writing the set in roster form, an element is not generally
repeated e.g. the set of letters of word SCHOOL may be written as {S, C, H, O, L}.
Ex. Write the following sets in roster form:
(i) A = {x: x is an integer and –3 < x < 7}.
(ii) B = {x: x is a natural number less than 6}.
Sol. (i) A = {x: x is an integer and –3 < x < 7}
The elements of this set are –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 only.
Therefore, the given set can be written in roster form as
A = {–2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(ii) B = {x : x is a natural number less than 6}
The elements of this set are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 only.
Therefore, the given set can be written in roster form as
B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

(ii) Set builder form (Property Method) : In this we write down a property or rule which gives us all the
element of the set.
A = {x : P(x)} where P(x) is the property by which x  A and colon ( : ) stands for ‘such that’

(iv) Symmetric difference of sets : It is denoted by A  B and A  B = (A – B)  (B – A)

(v) Complement of a set : A' = {x : x  A but x  U} = U – A

e.g. U = {1, 2,........, 10}, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} then A' = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

(vi) Disjoint sets : If A  B = , then A, B are disjoint

e.g. If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {7, 8, 9} then A  B = 

Laws of Algebra of Sets (Properties of Sets)

(i) De-Morgan Laws : (A B)' = A' B' ; (A B)' = A' B'
(ii) A – (B C) = (A – B) (A – C) ; A – (B C) = (A – B) (A – C)
(iii) Distributive Laws : A (B C) = (A B) (A C) ; A (B C) = (A B) (A C)
(iv) Commutative Laws : A B = B A ; A B = B  A
(v) Associative Laws : (A B) C = A (B C) ; (A B) C = A (B C)
(vi) Identity law : A  U = A; A  =A
(vii) Complement law : A  A' = U, A  A' = , (A')' = A
(viii) Idempotent law : A  A = A, A  A = A
(ix) A = ; A U = A
A = A ; A U = U
(x) A  B  A ; A B  B
(xi) A A B ; B  A  B
(xii) A B   A  B = A
(xiii) A B  A  B = B

Ex. Let A = {x : x R, |x| < 1] ; B = [x : x R, |x – 1| 1] and A B = R – D, then the set D is-
(A) [x : 1 < x 2] (B) [x : 1 x < 2] (C) [x : 1 x 2] (D) none of these
Sol. A = [x : x R, –1 < x < 1]
B = [ x : x  R : x – 1 –1 or x – 1 1]
= [x : x R : x 0 or x 2]
A B = R – D
where D = [x : x R, 1 x < 2]
Thus (B) is the correct answer.

Set : Set is a collection of well defined objects which are distinct from each other. Sets are usually denoted by
capital letters A, B, C,...... and elements are usually denoted by small letters a, b, c,......
If a is an element of a set A, then we write a  A and say a belongs to A or a is in A or a is a member of A. If a does
not belongs to A, we write a  A.

Standard Notations :
N : A set of natural numbers.
W : A set of whole numbers.
z : A set of integers.
+ –
Z /Z : A set of all positive/negative integers.
Q : A set of all rational numbers.
+ –
Q /Q : A set of all positive/negative rational numbers.
R : A set of real numbers.
+ –
R /R : A set of all positive/negative real numbers.
C : A set of all complex numbers.

Methods for Describing a Set :

(i) Roster/Listing Method/Tabular Form : In this method, a set is described by listing element, separated by
commas, within braces.
e.g. A = {a, e, i, o, u}
(ii) Set Builder/Rule Method : In this method, we write down a property or rule which gives us all the elements of
the set by that rule.
e.g. A = {x : x is a vowel of English alphabets}

Types of Sets
(i) Finite Set : A set containing finite number of elements or no element.
(ii) Cardinal Number of a Finite Set : The number of elements in a given finite set is called cardinal number of
finite set, denoted by n (A).
(iii) Infinite Set : A set containing finite number of elements.
(iv) Empty/Null/Void Set : A set containing no element, it is denoted by  or {}.
(v) Singleton Set : A set containing a single element.
(vi) Equal Sets : Two sets A and B are said to be equal, if every element of A is a member of B and every element
of B is a member of A and we write A = B.
(vii) Equivalent Sets : Two sets are said to be equivalent, if they have same number of elements.
If n(A) =n(B), then A and B are equivalent sets.
(viii) Subset and Superset : Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is an element of B, then A is called
subset of B and B is called superset of A.
Written as A  B or B  A
(ix) Finite Set : If A is a subset of B and A  B, then A is called proper subset of B and we write A  B.
(x) Universal Set (U) : A set consisting of all possible elements which occurs under consideration is called a
universal set.

 SETS AND RELATION

SOLVED EXAMPLES
Ex. 1 Express set A = {x : x  N and x = 2n for n  N} in roster form.
Sol. A = {2, 4, 6,.........}

Ex. 2 Express set B = {x2 : x < 4, x  W} in roster form.

Sol. B = {0, 1, 4, 9}

Ex. 3 Express set A = {2, 5, 10, 17, 26} in set builder form.
Sol. A = {x : x = n2 + 1, nN, 1  n  5}

Ex. 4 The set A = [x : x R, x2 = 16 and 2x = 6] equal-

(A)  (B) [14, 3, 4] (C) [3] (D) [4]
2
Sol. x = 16  x = ±4
2x = 6  x = 3
There is no value of x which satisfies both the above equations.
Thus, A = 
Hence (A) is the correct answer

Ex. 5 Examine whether the following statements are true or false :

(i) {a, b} / {b, c, a}
(ii) {a, e} / {x : x is a vowel in the English alphabet}
(iii) {1, 2, 3}  {1, 3, 5}
(iv) {a} {a, b, c}
Sol. (i) False as {a, b} is subset of {b, c, a}
(ii) True as a, e are vowels
(iii) False as element 2 is not in the set {1, 3, 5}
(iv) False as a {a, b, c} and {a}  {a, b, c}

Ex. 6 Two finite sets of have m and n elements respectively the total number of elements in power set of first set is 56 more
thatn the total number of elements in power set of the second set find the value of m and n respectively.
Sol. Number of elements in power set of 1st set = 2m
Number of elements in power set of 2nd set = 2n
Given 2m = 2n + 56
 2m – 2n = 56  2n(2m – n – 1) = 23(23 – 1)
 n = 3 and m = 6

Ex. 7 Find power set of set A = {1, 2}.

Sol. P(A) = {, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}}

Ex. 8 Let A = {2, 4, 6, 8} and B = {6, 8, 10, 12} then find A  B.

Sol. A  B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}

Ex. 9 Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, B = {2, 4, 6, 8}. Find A – B and B – A.

Sol. A – B = {x : x  A and x  B} = {1, 3, 5}
Similarly B – A = {8}
