(ii) v ∈ {a, e, i, o, u}

(iii) 2 ∉ {x | x is an even number}

(iv) {p} ∈ {p, q, r}

(v) {p, q} ∉ {p, q, r}

4. If set A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.


State, whether the following statements are true or false:

(i) 2 ∈ A

(iii) 14 ∈ B

(iv) 9 ∈ B

(v) B is a set of even numbers between 2 and 16.

(vi) 4, 6 and 10 are members of the set B.

6. Two sets P and Q are given as follows:

P = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13} and Q = {8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}

State, given reasons, which of the following are true:

(i) 13 ∈ P, 9 ∈ P but 13 + 9 ∉ P.

(ii) 5 ∈ P, 7 ∈ P and 5 + 7 ∈ Q.

(iii) 3 ∈ P, 13 ∈ P but 13 - 3 ∉ Q.

(iv) 7 ∉ Q, 9 ∉ Q but 7 + 9 ∈ Q.
