Q.1 Make correct statements by filling in the symbols $\subset$ or $\not\subset$ in the blank spaces :

(i) { 2, 3, 4 } _____ { 1, 2, 3, 4,5 }

(ii) { a, b, c }______ { b, c, d }

(iii) {x : x is a student of Class XI of your school}______{x : x student of your school}

(iv) {x : x is a circle in the plane} ______{x : x is a circle in the same plane with radius 1 unit}

(v) {x : x is a triangle in a plane} ______ {x : x is a rectangle in the plane}

(vi) {x : x is an equilateral triangle in a plane} ______{x : x is a triangle in the same plane}

(vii) {x : x is an even natural number} _____ {x : x is an integer}

A set A is said to be a subset of a set B if every element of A is also an element of B.

(i). All elements {2,3,4} are also elements of  {1,2,3,4,5} .

So, {2,3,4} $\subset$ {1,2,3,4,5}.

(ii).All elements { a, b, c } are not elements of{ b, c, d }.

Hence,{ a, b, c } $\not\subset${ b, c, d }.

(iii) Students of class XI are also students of your school.

Hence,{x : x is a student of Class XI of your school} $\subset$ {x : x student of your school}

(iv). Here, {x : x is a circle in the plane}  $\not\subset$  {x : x is a circle in the same plane with radius 1 unit}   : since a circle in the plane can have any radius

(v). Triangles and rectangles are two different shapes.

Hence,{x : x is a triangle in a plane} $\not\subset$ {x : x is a rectangle in the plane}

(vi). Equilateral triangles are part of all types of triangles.

So,{x : x is an equilateral triangle in a plane}  $\subset$  {x : x is a triangle in the same plane}

(vii).Even natural numbers are part of all integers.

Hence, {x : x is an even natural number} $\subset$ {x : x is an integer}
