Question

There were two sacks containing numbers, sack A contained the set of positive integers while sack B contained the set of whole numbers. Which sack contains more numbers?

• A. Sack A
• B. Sack B
• C. Both contain the same
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Sack B

All positive integers are natural numbers. In other words, sack A would contain the whole set of natural numbers i.e. 1,2,3,4...... and so on. But when we talk about whole numbers it has '0' in addition to the set of natural numbers. So, sack B contains one number more than sack A, i.e, ${}^{\prime }{0}^{\prime }$
