Question

If A = {Boys with ages above 12 years} and B = {Boys with ages above 8 years} then set A and set B are

• A. Equal sets
• B. Equivalent sets
• C. Overlapping sets
• D. Disjoint sets

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Overlapping sets

Given, A = {Boys with ages above 12 years} and B = {Boys with ages above 8 years}

All the boys who are above 12 years are above 8 years too

Sets A and B have boys 12 years and above in common.

$\Rightarrow$ They are overlapping sets
