Question:

If $ X=\left\{-2, -1, 0, 1,2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\right\} $ and $ A=\left\{x : \left|x-2\right|\le3, x \, is\,an\, integer\right\}, $ then $ X-A= $

  • $ \{-2, 6, 7, 8\} $
  • $ \{-2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} $
  • $ \{-1, 0,1,2,3, 4, 5, 7, 8\} $
  • $\{-2, -1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8\} $

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We have, $X = {-2, - 1 , 0 , 1 , 8 }$ and
$A = {x : | x - 2| \le 3, x \text{ is an integer}}$
$\therefore A = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}$
Now, $X - A = {-2, 6, 7, 8}$

Concepts Used:

Sets

Set is the collection of well defined objects. Sets are represented by capital letters, eg. A={}. Sets are composed of elements which could be numbers, letters, shapes, etc.

Example of set: Set of vowels A={a,e,i,o,u}

Representation of Sets

There are three basic notation or representation of sets are as follows:

Statement Form: The statement representation describes a statement to show what are the elements of a set.

  • For example, Set A is the list of the first five odd numbers.

Roster Form: The form in which elements are listed in set. Elements in the set is seperatrd by comma and enclosed within the curly braces.

  • For example represent the set of vowels in roster form.

A={a,e,i,o,u}

Set Builder Form: 

  1. The set builder representation has a certain rule or a statement that specifically describes the common feature of all the elements of a set.
  2. The set builder form uses a vertical bar in its representation, with a text describing the character of the elements of the set.
  3. For example, A = { k | k is an even number, k ≤ 20}. The statement says, all the elements of set A are even numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
  4. Sometimes a ":" is used in the place of the "|".
