2. SETS

3. SETS
A set is a well-defined collection of objects.
Here well- defined means it must be particular with reference to all
The following points may be noted in writing sets:
(i) Objects, elements and members of a set are synonymous terms.
(ii) Sets are usually denoted by capital letters A, B, C, X, Y, Z, etc.
(iii) The elements of a set are represented by small letters a, b, c, x, y,
For example :
A={ s,a,k,l,e,h,p,u,r}
Here A is set and s,a,k,l,e,p,u,r are element

4. REPRESENTATION OF SET
There are two methods of representing a set :
(i) Roster or tabular form
(ii) Set-builder form.
Roster or tabular form
In roster form, all the elements of a set are listed, the elements are being
separated by commas and are enclosed within braces
● in roaster form, the elements are distinct
Example
Multiple of 3 between 1 and31 is {3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30}
The word ‘college’ written in roaster form as {c,o,l,e,g}

5. Set-builder form
All the elements of a set possess a single common property
Which is not possessed by any element outside the set.
Example:
V={x : x=vowels in English alphabet}
R={ y: y=colors in rainbow}
Roster form Set builder form
O={1,3,5,7,9} O={x : x=odd number below 10}

6. Empty set: A set which does not contain any element is called the empty
set or the void set or null set and is denoted by { } or φ.
Finite and infinite set: A set which consists of a finite number of
elements is called a finite set otherwise, the set is called an infinite set.
Example
Finite set => A={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
Infinite set=> S={Number of stars in sky}
Subset: A set A is said to be a subset of set B if every element of A is also
an element of B.
In symbols, A ⊂ B if a ∈ A ⇒ a ∈ B.
Example A={1,2,3,4,5,6} and B={2,3,6,}
A ⊂ B

7. Equal set: Given two sets A and B, if every elements of A is also an
element of B and if every element of B is also an element of A, then
the sets A and B are said to be equal.
If A={2,4,6,8} and B={2,4,6,8}
Then set Aand set B are equal set
Intervals as subsets of R
Let a, b ∈ R and a < b. Then
(a) An open interval denoted by (a, b) is the set of real numbers {x : a
< x < b} this imples all elements between a & b expect a, b
(b) A closed interval denoted by [a, b] is the set of real numbers {x : a
≤ x ≤ b) Means all elements between a &b and a,b
(c) Intervals closed at one end and open at the other are given by
[a, b) = {x : a ≤ x < b} (a, b] = {x : a < x ≤ b}

8. Power set: The collection of all subsets of a set A is called the power set of A.
• it is denoted by P(A).
• If the number of elements in A = n , i.e., n(A) = n, then thenumber of
elements in P(A) = 2n
Universal set :
• This is a basic set.
• in a particular context whose elements and subsets are relevant to that
particular context.
• It is denoted by English aphabet letter U
Example ,
for the set of vowels in the English alphabet, the universal set can be the
set of all alphabets in English. Universal

9. Venn Diagrams
Venn Diagrams are the diagrams which represent the relationship between
sets.

10. Union of Sets : The union of any two given sets A and B is the set C which
consists of all those elements which are either in A or in B.
In symbols, we write C = A ∪ B = {x | x ∈A or x ∈B}
Example
1. A={ 1,2,3,4} B={5,6,7,8}
C= A ∪ B = {1,2,3,4,5,6 7,8}
2. D={2,3,6,7} E={1,3,7,8,9}
F = D ∪ E = {2,3,6,7,1,8,9} or {1,2,3,6,7,8,9}
Some properties of the operation of union.
(i) A ∪ B = B ∪ A
(ii) (A ∪ B) ∪ C = A ∪ (B ∪ C)
(iii) A ∪ φ = A (iv) A ∪ A = A
(v) U ∪ A = U

11. Intersection of sets:
The intersection of two sets A and B is the set which consists of all those
elements which belong to both A and B.
■ Intersection of set is denoted by ‘∩’
■ Symbolically, A ∩ B = {x : x ∈ A and x ∈ B}
■ When A ∩ B = φ, then A and B are called disjoint sets.
Example
1. A={1,4,5,9} B={1,9,4,7}
A ∩ B ={1,4,9}
2. C={2,4,7} D={1,3,5}
C ∩ D = φ
Some properties of the operation of intersection
(i) A ∩ B = B ∩ A (ii) (A ∩ B) ∩ C = A ∩ (B ∩ C)
(iii) φ ∩ A = φ ; U ∩ A = A (iv) A ∩ A = A
(v) A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)
(vi) A ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)
