Solution and Explanation

(i) {3, 6, 9, 12} = {x: x = 3n, n ∈ N and 1 \(≤\) n \(≤\) 4}


(ii) {2, 4, 8, 16, 32}
It can be seen that 2 = 21, 4 = 22, 8 = 23, 16 = 24, and 32 = 25.
{2, 4, 8, 16, 32} = {x: x = 2n, n ∈ N and 1 \(≤\) n \(≤\) 5}


(iii) {5, 25, 125, 625}
It can be seen that 5 = 51, 25 = 52, 125 = 53, and 625 = 54.
∴ {5, 25, 125, 625} = {x: x = 5n, n ∈ N and 1\( ≤\) n \(≤\) 4}


(iv) {2, 4, 6 …}
It is a set of all even natural numbers.
∴ {2, 4, 6 …} = {x: x is an even natural number}


(v)  {1, 4, 9 … 100}
It can be seen that 1 = 12, 4 = 22, 9 = 32 …100 = 102.
∴ {1, 4, 9… 100} = {x: x = n2, n ∈ N and 1 \(≤\) n \(≤\) 10}
