Question

Let $P=\left\{1,-1\right\}$ $,$ $Q=\left\{x:x^2=4,x\in z\right\}$ and $R=\left\{-2,-1,1\right\}$ State which of the following is ture and which is false$.$

$P=Q$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

It is given that $P=\left\{1,-1\right\}$$,$

$Q=\left\{x:x^2=4,x\in z\right\}$$,$

$R=\left\{-2,-1,1\right\}$

$P=\left\{1,-1\right\}$

Number of elements in set $P$ is $n\left(P\right)=2$

The Roster form of the set $Q=\left\{x:x^2=4,x\in z\right\}$ is given below

$x^2=4,x\in z$

$x^2-4=0$

$\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)=0$

$x=2$or $x=-2$

$Q=\left\{2,-2\right\}$

$P=\left\{1,-1\right\}$

In the sets $P$ and $Q$ number of elements are different$.$

Hence$,$ the given statement $P=Q$ is false.
