NCERT Solution Class XI Mathematics Sets Question 3 (Ex 1.5)

Question 3:

Taking the set of natural numbers as the universal set, write down the complements of the following sets:

(i) {x: x is an even natural number}

(ii) {x: x is an odd natural number} 

(iii) {x: x is a positive multiple of 3}

(iv){x: x is a prime number}

(v){x: x is a natural number divisible by 3 and 5}

(vi) {x: x is a perfect square}

(vii) {x: x is perfect cube}

(viii) {x: x + 5 = 8}

(ix) {x: 2x + 5 = 9}

(x) {x: x ≥ 7}

(xi) {x: x ∈ N and 2x + 1 > 10}

Answer

U = N: Set of natural numbers

(i) {x: x is an even natural number}´ = {x: x is an odd natural number}

(ii) {x: x is an odd natural number}´ = {x: x is an even natural number}

(iii) {x: x is a positive multiple of 3}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x is not a multiple of 3}  

(iv) {x: x is a prime number}´ ={x: x is a positive composite number and x = 1}

(v) {x: x is a natural number divisible by 3 and 5}´ = {x: x is a natural number that is not divisible by 3 or 5}

(vi) {x: x is a perfect square}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x is not a perfect square}

(vii) {x: x is a perfect cube}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x is not a perfect cube}

(viii) {x: x + 5 = 8}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x ≠ 3}

(ix) {x: 2x + 5 = 9}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x ≠ 2}

(x) {x: x ≥ 7}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x < 7}

(xi) {x: x ∈ N and 2x + 1 > 10}´ = {x: x ∈ N and x ≤ 9/2}
