Question

A set is said to be a/an ____ set if it has a limited number of elements.

• A. equal
• B. finite
• C. infinite
• D. equivalent

Answer 1

The correct option is B

finite

Explanation for the correct option:

Option b: finite

A set having limited number of elements is called as a finite set.

Example, $A=\left\{a,b,c\right\}$, it has only three elements, hence it will be a finite set.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option a: equal

Equal sets are the sets having same elements.

Example, $A=\left\{2,4,6\right\}B=\left\{2,4,6\right\}$

Since the given sets have same elements, they will be equal sets.

Option c: infinite

A set having infinite number of elements is called as infinite set.

Example, set $A=$ multiples of $2$.

Since there are infinite multiples of $2$

Hence it will be infinite set.

Option d: equivalent

Sets having same number of elements are called as equivalent sets.

Example, set $A=\left\{x,y,z\right\}B=\left\{a,d,g\right\}$

In both the sets, the number of elements are same.

Hence they are equivalent sets.
