10th Class Maths 2nd Lesson Sets Ex 2.1 Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Which of the following are sets? Justify your answer.
i) The collection of all the months of a year beginning with die letter “J”.
ii) The collection of ten most talented writers of India.
iii) A team of eleven best cricket batsmen of the world.
iv) The collection of all boys in your class.
v) The collection of all even integers.
Answer:
i) There are 3 months as January, June and July beginning with letter ‘J’. Therefore, it is a well defined collection of months and hence it is a set.
ii) The concept of talented writers of India is vague, since there is no rule given for deciding whether a particular writer is talented or not.
Hence, the given collection is not a set.
iii) A team of eleven best cricket batsmen of the world is vague, since there is no rule given for deciding whether a particular batsman is the best.
Hence, the given collection is not a set.
iv) The collection of all boys in my class is well defined. Hence, the given collection is a set.
v) The collection of all even integers i.e., (2, 4, 6, 8, ……) is well defined.
Hence, the given collection is a set.
