Q3. If Y = {x\x is a positive factor of the number 2P(2P – 1), where 2P – 1 is a prime number}. Write Y in the
roaster form.

Sol: Y- {x | x is a positive factor of the number 2P-1 (2P – 1), where 2P – 1 is a prime number}.
So, the factors of 2P-1 are 1,2,22,23,…, 2P- 1.
Y= {1,2,22,23, …,2p-1,2p-1}

Q4. State which of the following statements are true and which are false. Justify your answer.

(ii) TEXTBOOK
The factorsSOLUTIONS
of 128 hre 1,2,4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128.
Sum of factors = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 255 * 2 x 128 Hence, statement is false.

(iii) We have, x4 – 5x3 + 2x2 – 1 12jc + 6 = 0 Forx = 3, we have

(3)4 – 5(3)3 + 2(3)2 – 112(3) + 6 = 0
=> 81 – 135 + 18-336 + 6 = 0
=> -346 = 0, which is not true.
So 3 is not an element of the set
Hence, statement is true.

(iv) 496 = 24 x 31
So, the factors of 496 are 1,2,4, 8, 16,31,62, 124,248 and 496.
Sum of factors = 1 +2 + 4 + 8+ 16 + 31+62+124 + 248 + 496 = 992 = 2(496)
So, 496 is the element of the set Hence, statement is false

Q5. Given L, = {1,2, 3,4},M= {3,4, 5, 6} and N= {1,3,5}

Verify that L-(M⋃N) = (L-M)⋂(L-N)
Sol: Given L,= {1,2, 3,4}, M= {3,4,5,6} and N= {1,3,5}
M⋃N= {1,3,4, 5,6}
L – (M⋃N) = {2}
Now, L-M= {1, 2} and L-N= {2,4}
{L-M) ⋂{L-N)= {2}
Hence, L-{M⋃N) = {L-M) ⋂ (L-N).
