(a) A = {1, 2, 5, 7} and B = {1, 3, 6, 7} are subsets of the universal set U = {1, 2, 3,...., 10}. Find (i) ; (ii) ; (iii) ; (iv) the subsets of B each of which has three elements. (b) Write down the 15th term of the sequence, . (c) An Arithmetic Progression (A.P) has 3 as its first term and 4 as the common difference, (i) write an expression in its simplest form for the nth term ; (ii) find the least term of the A.P that is greater than 100.
Explanation
(a)(i) U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} A = {1, 2, 5, 7} A' = U - A = {3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10} (ii) (iii) = (iv) {1, 3, 6}, {1, 3, 7}, {1, 6, 7} and {3, 6, 7}. (b) The nth term of the sequence is given as For the 15th term, (c)(i) = (ii) The least term greater than 100 = 26th term.
