1) Set: A set is a collection of well define & well distinguished objects. The objects are called the elements of a set. A set usually be denoted by capital letter. The elements may be anything such that numbers, persons, river etc. The elements are separated by comma (,) & enclosed in braches [{ }]. Example: i) Roster Method form: ii) Rule Method form: A= {1, 2, 3, 4} B = {x : x is vowel}

A= {1, 2, 3, 4}
2) Subset: The set B is said to be a subset of the set A if every element of B is also an element of A. It is denoted by B A. Let, A = {1, 2, 3, 4} B A B is the subset of A. B = {1, 2, 3} or A B A is the superset of B. Sign of subset = ; Sign of superset = How many subsets will be when a set has element? Formula of subset = Let, A = {1, 2, 3} Number of subset = [2= Fixed, n = No. of element in the set] = 23 =8 Subset of A are, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3} Proper subset {1, 2, 3}, {} Improper subset Example: Let, B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Venn diagrammed A = {1, 2, 3} Here, A is the subset of B U B A Written as A B AB Methods of Set: a) Roster Method b) Rule Method
a) Roster Method: In which method the elements of the set are separated by the comma (,) and enclosed by
