Question:

Let $F_1$ be the set of parallelograms, $F_2$ the set of rectangles, $F_3$ the set of rhombuses, $F_4$ the set of squares and $F_5$ the set of trapeziums in the plane. Then $F_1$ may be equal to

  • $F_2 \cap F_3$
  • $F_3 \cap F_4$
  • $F_2 \cup F_5$
  • $F_1 \cup F_2 \cup F_3 \cap F_4$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Given, $F_1 =$ The set of parallelograms $F_2 =$ The set of rectangles, $F_3 =$ The set of rhombuses $F_4 =$ The set of squares and $F_5 =$ The set of trapeziums By definition of parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and parallel. In rectangles, rhombuses and squares all have opposite sides equal and parallel, therefore $F_2 \subset F_1$, $F_3 \subset F_1$, $F_4 \subset F_1$ $\therefore F_1 = F_1 \cup F_2 \cup F_3 \cup F_4$

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 "|".
