→A daily or weekly routine, a consistent

application of even small habits, will transform

your life more effectively than striving for an
overwhelmingly large goal without a consistent
routine to achieve it. For achieving the
systematic way of living one needs to practice it
every day. Depending on our cooking
preferences, we arrange our kitchen utensils and
groceries in a particular way. Dishware like
bowls, glasses, cups, and saucers are kept
separate from plates, and pans and cutlery are
kept in their own compartments. Sets of cooking
utensils and other collections are kept apart in storage. Sets are a collection of well-
defined objects or elements. The cardinality of a set is the total number of unique
elements in a set.

1) Consider the following statements for any two non-empty sets A and B

→ At certain times of the month, the

moon appears to be neither a full moon
nor a slim
crescent, but to be half illuminated and
half in shadow. At such a time, its
center forms the vertex of a right angle
whose rays extend through the centers
of the sun and earth. If, at such a time,
the sun is also visible from the earth, then the angle SEM may be measured. To
measure angle SEM,we need to use basic trigonometric ratios. Based on the above
data answer the following questions:

→If you would like to withdraw cash from your account, the amount of cash
dispensed by the machine is equal to the amount you request.

Therefore, the amount requested is the function of the amount

dispersed. The machine can never give you more or less than
what you have requested.A relation defines the relationship
between sets of values of ordered pairs.Here the amount
requested is directly related to the amount dispersed. Based
on the above information answer the following questions:
