2.1 Meaning of a Set
Set: A collection or class or list of yell defined objects is called asset
Ex:
1. Collection of colleges in India.
Collection of books in library.
Collection of numbers - 1, 3, 5,7
List of days in week.
The vowels of English alphabet - a, e,i,0,0
BCA 301: FUNDAMENTAL MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS 231
YR eN6. The temples in India.
Notation : Sets are usually denoted by capital letters A, B, C..... X, Y, Zz.
If the elements ‘a’ is in the set ‘A’ then we write a € A, read as ‘a’ belongs to A.
Elements : The objects in a set are called elements or members.
Notation : Elements are denoted by small letters a, b, ©, .... X,Y, 2
If the element ‘a’ is not in the set A then we writea ¢ A,
Read as ‘a’ does not belongs to ‘A’.
2.2 Methods of Describing Set:
Sets are represented by two methods.
2.2.1. Tabular form or Roster form or List form :
If the elements in the set are known and few in numbers; then the set can be written in lia
form or roster form or tabular form.
Ex. I. Let A be collection of numbers
1, 3, 7, 8 then we write A = {1, 3, 7, 8}, that is elements are separated by commas and
enclosed in the bracket { }.
Ex. 2. Suppose B is list of days in a week then,
B= {Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu; Fri, Sat }.
2.2.2. Rule form or set builder form :
If the elements are large in number and they satisfy some property p then the set is written in
the form.
A= {x| p(x)} or
A= {|x satisfy property P }
Read as “x such that x satisfy property P’’,
Ex. 1. Ais set of numbers 2, 4, 6, 8
That is set of all even numbers, then we write.
A= {x|x is even },
- This form is called rule form or set builder form.
Ex.2, Bis collection of colleges in India, then we write
B= {x| xis college in India }
Ex. 3. * is collection of books in library then we write
x= i :
= {|x is book in lib
Ex.4 ae
Y is collection of stars in the sky,
; then we write
Y= {x | is star in the sky}., Empty set or void set :
A set having no eléments is called a null set
Itis denoted by { } or g,
Ex.l. LetA= {x/xis Person older than 200 years}
Then A=, according to known statistics,
The set B is set of triangles having the sum of internal angles 240° degrees.
Then B= 9, because sum of intemal angles of triangle is 180° degrees.
Ex.3. C= {x|x?=~4, x is real number}
or empty set or void set.
Ex. 2.
Then C = 9, because there is no real number having its square negative.
2.3.2. Singleton Set :.A set which contains only one element is called a singleton set.
Ex.l. {2}, (x },€ 0 } are singleton sets, because each of these sets contain only
one element,
Ex.2. If A is set of capitals of India, then A = {Delhi}, It is singleton set.
2.3.3, Finite Set : If we start counting the number of elemeits in a set and if the counting
Process comes to an end then the set is called finite set.
Ex.1. Suppose A= {2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10} then A is finite set.
Ex.2. Bis set of days in week. Then B = {Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat.} B is finite
set.
2.3.4. Infinite set : If the processes of counting the elements of given set cannot come to an
end, the set is called an infinite set. :
Ex.1. LetA = {x|x.is star in the sky }
Then A is infinite set.
Ex.2. Let N be set of natural numbers. Then N= {1, 2, 3, 4.....}. This is infinite set.
2.3.5. Equality of Sets : Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they both have the same
elements, We denote by A = B.
Thus A = B if every element of A belongs to B and every element of B belongs to A.
Ex. Let A= {1, 5,9, 11, 13}, B= {5, 13, 11, 9, 1}. Then A =, because they contain
the same elements, the order in which the elements occur in the set is immaterial.
Ex.2. Let C= (4,7, 4, 9}, D = {7, 4, 7, 9} Then C= D = {4, 7, 9} because C and D
contain the same elements. Note that the set docs not change if its elements
repeated then it is written only once in the set.
Ex.3. Let = {x|x2-1=0}, Y=(-1, 1}
Here x? -1 = 0 implies (x-1) (x+1) = 0 "
Therefore x — 1=0, x + 1= 0 implies x =x =
Hence x= {-1, 1} So * =.
BCA 301 : FUNDAMENTAL MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS. « 33Let A is set of letters in the word ‘state’. B is the set of letters in the word estat, |
Then |
A={s,atte} = {s,a,t,c},
B={e,s,ta,te} = {s,a, tc}
Thus A=B
2.3.6 Subset : If every clement in a set A is also a member of a set B then A is called subset of
Bor Bis called superset of A. -
Thus A is subset of B, Ifx € A implies x € B. We denote this relationship by writing A cB
orB>A.
Ex. 1.
Ex. 2.
Read as A is contained in B or B contains A.
Let A={2,3,5}, B={1,2,3,4,5,6}
Thn 2¢€A>2eB
3eA>3eB
5seA>5eB
Hence, ACB
Let A be set of letter in the word ‘MATHEMATICS’. B is set of letters in the end
word ‘STATISTICS.’
Here A={M,A,T,H,E,1,C,S}
B={S,T.A,LC}
Every element of B is in A. Hence Bc A
Remark:
1.
2)
3.
The empty set is @ is sub set of every set A. @ is called improper subset of A.
Every set A is subset of itself, Denoted by ACA. Here A is called improper subset of A.
If A is not subset of B then we denote A ¢ B or Bp A.
2.3.7 Universal Set :
A suitably chosen non-empty set of which all sets under consideration are its subsets is called
the universal set. We denote the universal set by U or X.
Venn diagram of universal set is considered as rectangle,
Ex. 1.
Ex. 2.
Ex. 3,
U
Suppose that...
A= Set of books of Accountancy in a library of Management Institute of N. M. U:
B = Set of books of Mathematics in library of Management Institute of N. M. U.
C= Set of books of statistics in library of Management Institute of N.M. U.
Then the universal set
U= Set of all books in library of Management Institute of N. M. U.
In human population studies, the universal set
Uis the set of all people in the world:
LetA={a,e,d}, B= {aeiou}
34 © PRASHANT PUBLICATIONSC= {h,i,j,k}, Then the universal set is U= {a,b,c
English alphabets,
Set of Sets
If the elements of certain set are sets then instead of saying set of scts we write class of sets or
family of sets. The class of sets we denote by script letters A, B, C. etc...
Ex. Let A= {{ 1,2}, {5}, (6, 7,8} }
The elements of this set are { 1, 2,}, {5}, (6, 7,8, } which are sets.
2,3.8 Power Set =
The class of all subsets of set X is called power set of X. Denoted by P (X) or 2
Ex.l. LetA={a,b} then
P(A)=24={0, {a}, (b}, {a,b}
Ex.2. LetB={a,b, c} then
P(B)=2= ({a}, {b}, {c}, {ab}, {ab}, (ach (bc} (abe}}
Note : That if A contains 2 elements then 2“ contains 2” = 4 elements.
In general if A contains n elements then 2“ contains 2° elements.
2.3.9 Disjoint Sets :
If Sets A and B have no element in common then they are said to be disjoint sets.
x,y,z} =set of all
Thus A and B are disjoint if no element of A is in B and no clement of B is in A.
Ex.1. LetA={2,4,6},B={1,3,5 },then A and B are disjoint as there is no element in
common.
Ex.2. LetB={2,3,5,7}, C={7,8, 10}
Then B and C are not disjoint since element 7 is common to both A and B.

2.4.2. Intersection :
The intersection of two sets A and B is the set of all elements which are in A and in B both.

iagrams. For this purpose sets are represented by closed figures as :

The elements of the sets are written inside these regions.
