Question 1.
Solution of equation x2 + x – 2 = 0 in Roster form is:
(A) {1, 2}
(B) {-1, 2}
(C) {-1, -2}
(D) {1, -2}
Solution:
Given, x2 + x – 2 = 0
x2 + 2x – x – 2 = 0
x(x + 2) – 1(x + 2) = o
(x + 2)(x – 1) = 0
when x + 2 = 0 then x = -2
when x – 1 = 0 then x = 1
Hence, roster form of equation is {-2, 1} or {1, -2}
Hence, option (D) is correct.

Question 2.
{B = Y : y is a vowel of English alphabet), its Roster form:
(A) {a, e, i, o}
(B) {a, o, u}
(C) {a, e, o, u}
(D) {a, e, i, o, u}
Solution:
Vowels of English alphabet are a, e, i, o, u.
Thus, the set of vowels is {a, e, i, o, u}.
Hence, the option (D) is correct.

(C) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
(D) = { }
Solution:
Given, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
and B = {2, 4, 6, 8}
A – B means A contains the element which is not present in B.
Thus, A – B = { 1, 3, 5}

(iii) The collection of various geometrical figures is not a set because these figures are not in particular shape.
(iv) The numbers which divide the numbers 46 are 1, 2, and 23. Hence, {1, 2, 23} is a set.
(v) The collection of the best 20 cricket batsman of the world is not a set because there is no scale to measure their qualities.
(vi) The collection of all even integer is a set because all even integers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,……..
(vii) The collection of literature written by the poet Kalidas is a set because it is renowned literature.
(viii) The collection of Greatmen contributed in Indian culture is not a set because we cannot give proper credit for their contribution.
