Match the roster form with set builder form.

(i) {1, 2, 3, 6}


(ii) {2, 3}


(iii) {M, A, T, H, E, I, C, S}


(iv) {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}


(a) {x : x is prime number and a divisor of 6}


(b) {x : x is an odd natural number smaller than 10}


(c) {x : x is a natural number and divisor of 6}


(d) {x : x is a letter of the word MATHEMATICS}

Let us consider the set builder forms.


(a) {x : x is prime number and a divisor of 6}


Prime factorization of 6 = 2 × 3


where 2 and 3 are prime numbers.


Roster form = {2, 3} … (ii)


(b) {x : x is an odd natural number smaller than 10}


Odd natural numbers smaller than 10 = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9


Roster form = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} … (iv)


(c) {x : x is a natural number and divisor of 6}


Factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.


Roster form = {1, 2, 3, 6} … (i)


(d) {x : x is a letter of the word MATHEMATICS}


Roster form = {M, A, T, H, E, I, C, S} … (iii)
