If A = {x : x is square of natural numbers ≤ 8}, and B = {2x + 1 : x ∈ N}, the what is (A ∩ B)?
1. {0, 1, 4, 9, 25, 49, 121}
2. {1, 4, 16, 36, 64}
3. {9, 25,49}
4. {1, 9, 25, 49}
1. {0, 1, 4, 9, 25, 49, 121}
2. {1, 4, 16, 36, 64}
3. {9, 25,49}
4. {1, 9, 25, 49}
Correct Answer – Option 3 : {9, 25,49}
Concept:
Set theory:
Calculation
Given: B = {2x + 1 : x ∈ N}
So, Set B = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ……} (all the odd positive integers excluding 1)
Given: A = {x : x is square of natural numbers ≤ 8}
So, Set A = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64}
∴ A ∩ B = {9, 25, 49}
