State whether each of the following statement is true or false. Justify you answers.
(i) {2, 3, 4, 5} and {3, 6} are disjoint sets.
(ii) {a, e, i, o, u} and {a, b, c, d} are disjoint sets.
(iii) {2, 6, 10, 14} and {3, 7, 11, 15} are disjoint sets.
(iv) {2, 6, 10} and {3, 7, 11} are disjoint sets.
We know that when there are no common elements in A and B, the sets are known as disjoint sets.
(i) False
Explanation: In {2, 3, 4, 5} and {3, 6}, 3 is a common element.
∴ These sets are not disjoint sets.
(ii) False
Explanation: In {a, e, i, o, u} and {a, b, c, d}, a is a common element.
∴ These sets are not disjoint sets.
(iii) True
Explanation: In {2, 6, 10, 14} and {3, 7, 11, 15}, there is no common element.
∴ These sets are disjoint sets.
(iv)True
Explanation: In {2, 6, 10} and {3, 7, 11}, there is no common element.
∴ These sets are disjoint sets.
