SETS
Introduction
Types of sets
(1) Null set or Empty set : The set which contains no element at all is called the null set. This set is sometimes
also called the ‘empty set’ or the ‘void set’. It is denoted by the symbol or {}.
(2) Singleton set : A set consisting of a single element is called a singleton set. The set {5} is a singleton set.
(3) Finite set : A set is called a finite set if it is either void set or its elements can be listed (counted, labelled)
by natural number 1, 2, 3, … and the process of listing terminates at a certain natural number n (say).
Cardinal number of a finite set : The number n in the above definition is called the cardinal number or
order of a finite set A and is denoted by n(A) or O(A).
(4) Infinite set : A set whose elements cannot be listed by the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, …., n, for any natural
number n is called an infinite set.
(5) Equivalent set : Two finite sets A and B are equivalent if their cardinal numbers are same i.e. n(A) = n(B).
Example : A {1, 3, 5, 7} ; B {10, 12, 14, 16} are equivalent sets, [ O( A) O(B) 4] .
(6) Equal set : Two sets A and B are said to be equal iff every element of A is an element of B and also every
element of B is an element of A. Symbolically, A = B if x A x B.
Example : If A {2, 3, 5, 6} and B {6, 5, 3, 2} . Then A B, because each element of A is an element of B and
vice-versa.
(7) Universal set : A set that contains all sets in a given context is called the universal set.
It should be noted that universal set is not unique. It may differ in problem to problem.
(8) Power set : If S is any set, then the family of all the subsets of S is called the power set of S.
The power set of S is denoted by P(S). Symbolically, P(S) = {T : T S}. Obviously and S are both elements
of P(S).
Example : Let S = {a, b, c}, then P(S) = { , {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a, b, c}}.
Power set of a given set is always non-empty.
(9) Subsets (Set inclusion) : Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is an element of B, then A is called a
subset of B.
If A is subset of B, we write A B, which is read as “A is a subset of B” or “A is contained in B”.
Thus, A B a A a B.
Proper and improper subsets : If A is a subset of B and A B, then A is a proper subset of B. We write this
as A B .
The null set is subset of every set and every set is subset of itself, i.e., A and A A for every set A. They
are called improper subsets of A. Thus every non-empty set has two improper subsets. It should be noted
that has only one subset which is improper.
All other subsets of A are called its proper subsets. Thus, if A B, A B , A , then A is said to be proper
subset of B.
Example : Let A {1, 2} . Then A has ; {1}, {2}, {1, 2} as its subsets out of which and {1, 2} are improper and
{1} and {2} are proper subsets.
Venn-Euler diagrams
The combination of rectangles and circles are called Venn-Euler diagrams or simply
Venn-diagrams. U
If A and B are not equal but they have some common elements, then to represent A A
and B we draw two intersecting circles. Two disjoints sets are represented by two
non-intersecting circles.
Operations on sets
(1) Union of sets : Let A and B be two sets. The union of A and B is the set of all U
elements which are in set A or in B. We denote the union of A and B by A B , AB
which is usually read as “A union B”.
Symbolically, A B {x : x A or x B}. A B
(2) Intersection of sets : Let A and B be two sets. The intersection of A and B is the U
set of all those elements that belong to both A and B.
AB
The intersection of A and B is denoted by A B (read as “A intersection B”).
Thus, A B = {x : x A and x B}. A B
(3) Disjoint sets : Two sets A and B are said to be disjoint, if A B = . If A B , then A and B are said to
be non-intersecting or non-overlapping sets.
Example : Sets {1, 2}; {3, 4} are disjoint sets.
(4) Difference of sets : Let A and B be two sets. The difference of A and B written as A – B, is the set of all
those elements of A which do not belong to B.
U U
A–B B–A
A B A B
Thus, A – B = {x : x A and x B}
Similarly, the difference B A is the set of all those elements of B that do not belong to A i.e.,
B A {x B : x A} .
Example : Consider the sets A {1, 2, 3} and B {3, 4, 5} , then A B {1, 2}; B A {4, 5} .
(5) Symmetric difference of two sets : Let A and B be two sets. The symmetric difference of sets A and B is
the set ( A B) (B A) and is denoted by AB . Thus, AB = (A B) (B A) {x : x A B} .
(6) Complement of a set : Let U be the universal set and let A be a set such that A U. Then, the complement
of A with respect to U is denoted by A or Ac or C(A) or U – A and is defined the set of all those elements of
U which are not in A.
Thus, A = {x U : x A}. U
A
Clearly, x A x A A
Example : Consider U {1, 2,......, 10}
and A {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} .
Then A {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
If A, B and C are finite sets and U be the finite universal set, then (1) n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A B)
(2) n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) A, B are disjoint non-void sets.
(3) n(A – B) = n(A) – n(A B) i.e., n(A – B) + n(A B) = n(A)
(4) n(A B) = Number of elements which belong to exactly one of A or B = n((A – B) (B – A)) = n (A – B) +
n(B – A)
[ (A – B) and (B – A) are disjoint]
= n(A) – n(A B) + n(B) – n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) – 2n(A B)
(5) n(A B C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(A B) – n(B C) – n(A C) + n(A B C)
(6) n (Number of elements in exactly two of the sets A, B, C) = n(A B) + n(B C) + n(C A) – 3n(ABC)
(7) n(Number of elements in exactly one of the sets A, B, C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C)
– 2n(A B) – 2n(B C) – 2n(A C) + 3n(A B C)
(8) n(A B) = n(A B) = n(U) – n(A B)
(9) n(A B) = n(A B) = n(U) – n(A B)
i.e., union and intersection are distributive over intersection and union respectively.
(iii) A (B C) (A B) (A C) (iv) A (B C) (A B) (A C)
(v) A (B C) (A B) (A C)
(6) De-Morgan’s law : If A, B and C are any three sets, then
(i) (A B) = A B (ii) (A B) = A B
(iii) A – (B C) = (A – B) (A – C) (iv) A – (B C) = (A – B) (A – C)
(7) If A and B are any two sets, then
(i) A – B = A B (ii) B – A = B A
(iii) A – B = A A B = (iv) (A – B) B = A B
(v) (A – B) B = (vi) A B B A
(vii) (A – B) (B – A) = (A B) – (A B)
(8) If A, B and C are any three sets, then
(i) A (B – C) = (A B) – (A C) (ii) A (B C) = (A B) (A C)
RELATIONS
Definition
Let A and B be two non-empty sets, then every subset of A × B defines a relation from A to B and every relation
from A to B is a subset of A × B.
Let R A B and (a, b) R. Then we say that a is related to b by the relation R and write it as a R b . If (a, b) R
, we write it as a R b .
(1) Total number of relations : Let A and B be two non-empty finite sets consisting of m and n elements
respectively. Then A × B consists of mn ordered pairs. So, total number of subset of A × B is 2mn. Since each
subset of A × B defines relation from A to B, so total number of relations from A to B is 2mn. Among these
2mn relations the void relation and the universal relation A × B are trivial relations from A to B.
(2) Domain and range of a relation : Let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then the set of all first
components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the domain of R, while the set of
all second components or coordinates of the ordered pairs in R is called the range of R.
Thus, Dom (R) = {a : (a, b) R} and Range (R) = {b : (a, b) R}.
Inverse relation
Let A, B be two sets and let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then the inverse of R, denoted by R–1, is a
relation from B to A and is defined by R 1 {(b, a) : (a, b) R}
Clearly (a, b) R (b, a) R–1. Also, Dom (R) = Range (R 1 ) and Range (R) = Dom (R 1 )
Example : Let A = {a, b, c}, B = {1, 2, 3} and R = {(a, 1), (a, 3), (b, 3), (c, 3)}.
Then, (i) R–1 = {(1, a), (3, a), (3, b), (3, c)}
(ii) Dom (R) = {a, b, c} = Range (R 1 )
(iii) Range (R) = {1, 3} = Dom (R 1 )
Types of relations
(1) Reflexive relation : A relation R on a set A is said to be reflexive if every element of A is related to itself.
Thus, R is reflexive (a, a) R for all a A.
Example : Let A = {1, 2, 3} and R = {(1, 1); (1, 3)}
Then R is not reflexive since 3 A but (3, 3) R
A reflexive relation on A is not necessarily the identity relation on A.
The universal relation on a non-void set A is reflexive.
(2) Symmetric relation : A relation R on a set A is said to be a symmetric relation iff (a, b) R (b, a) R
for all a, b A
i.e., aRb bRa for all a, b A.
it should be noted that R is symmetric iff R 1 R
The identity and the universal relations on a non-void set are symmetric relations.
A reflexive relation on a set A is not necessarily symmetric.
(3) Anti-symmetric relation : Let A be any set. A relation R on set A is said to be an anti-symmetric relation
iff (a, b) R and (b, a) R a = b for all a, b A.
Thus, if a b then a may be related to b or b may be related to a, but never both.
(4) Transitive relation : Let A be any set. A relation R on set A is said to be a transitive relation iff
(a, b) R and (b, c) R (a, c) R for all a, b, c A i.e., aRb and bRc aRc for all a, b, c A.
Transitivity fails only when there exists a, b, c such that a R b, b R c but a R c .
Example : Consider the set A = {1, 2, 3} and the relations
R1 {(1, 2), (1, 3)} ; R 2 = {(1, 2)}; R 3 = {(1, 1)};
R 4 = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 1)}
Then R 1 , R 2 , R 3 are transitive while R 4 is not transitive since in R4 , (2, 1) R4 ; (1, 2) R4 but (2, 2) R4 .
The identity and the universal relations on a non-void sets are transitive.
(5) Identity relation : Let A be a set. Then the relation IA = {(a, a) : a A} on A is called the identity relation
on A.
In other words, a relation IA on A is called the identity relation if every element of A is related to itself
only. Every identity relation will be reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Example : On the set = {1, 2, 3}, R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)} is the identity relation on A .
It is interesting to note that every identity relation is reflexive but every reflexive relation need not be an
identity relation.
(6) Equivalence relation : A relation R on a set A is said to be an equivalence relation on A iff
Composition of relations
Let R and S be two relations from sets A to B and B to C respectively. Then we can define a relation SoR
from A to C such that (a, c) SoR b B such that (a, b) R and (b, c) S.
This relation is called the composition of R and S.
For example, if A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {a, b, c, d}, C={p, q, r, s} be three sets such that R = {(1, a), (2, b), (1, c), (2,
d)} is a relation from A to B and S = {(a, s), (b, r), (c, r)} is a relation from B to C. Then SoR is a relation from
A to C given by SoR = {(1, s) (2, r) (1, r)}
In this case RoS does not exist.
In general RoS SoR. Also (SoR)–1 = R–1oS–1.
1. NUMBER SYSTEM
(i) Natural Numbers
The set of numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, ... } are called natural numbers, and is denoted by N.
i.e., N = {1, 2, 3, 4, ... }
(ii) Integers
The set of numbers {..., –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} are called integers and the set is
denoted by I or Z.
Where we represent;
(a) Positive integers by I = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...} = Natural numbers.
(b) Negative integers by I = {..., –4, –3, –2, –1}
(c) Non-negative integers I0 (or N0 ) = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...} = Whole numbers
(d) Non-positive integers I0 = {..., –3, –2, –1, 0}
(iii) Rational Numbers
a
A number which can be written as , where a and b are integers, b 0 and H.C.F. of
b
a and b is 1, is called a rational number and their set is denoted by Q.
a
i.e., Q such that a, b I and b 0 and H.C.F. of a, b is 1.
b
Note:
a
Every integer is a rational number as it could be written as Q = (where b = 1)
b
All recurring decimals are rational numbers.
1
e.g., Q 0.3333 ...
3
Q = 0.9999... = 1
–3 –2 2 –1 0 1 2 3

2. INTERVALS
The set of numbers between any two real numbers is called interval. The following are the types of
interval.
(i) Closed Interval:
[a, b] = {x : a x b}
(ii) Open Interval:
(a, b) or ]a, b[ = {x : a < x < b}
(iii) Semi open or semi closed interval:
[a, b[ or [a, b) = {x: a x < b}
]a, b] or (a, b] = {x: a < x b}
3. INEQUALITIES
The following are some very useful points to remember:
a b either a < b or a = b
a < b and b < c a < c
a < b –a > –b i.e., inequality sign reverses if both sides are multiplied by a negative number
a < b and c < d a + c < b + d and a – d < b – c. c R
a < b ma < mb if m > 0 and ma > mb if m < 0
0 < a < b ar < br if r > 0 and ar > br if r < 0
1
a a 2 for a > 0 and equality holds for a = 1
1
a a – 2 for a < 0 and equality holds for a = –1
Solution :
The equality |a + b| = |a| + |b| is valid if and only if both summands have the same sign. Since
x2 + 4x + 9 = (x + 2)2 + 5 > 0 at any values of x, the equality is satisfied at those values of x at which 2x –
3 0, i.e., at x 3/2.
5. DEFINITION OF FUNCTION
Let A and B be two non-empty sets. Then a function ‘f ’ from set A to set B is a rule which associates
elements of set A to elements of set B such that
· An element of set A are associated to a unique element in set B.
· All elements of set A are associated to element in set B.
Terms such as “map” (or mapping), “correspondence” are used as synonyms for function. If f is a function
from a set A to set B, then we write f : A B or A f
B. which is read as f is a function from A to B or
f maps A to B.
Example 1:
Let A = {2, 4, 6, 8} and B = {s, t, u, v, w} be two sets and let f1, f2, f3 and f4 be rules associating elements of
A to elements of B as shown in the following figures.
s f2 s
2 f1 t 2 t
4 u 4 u
6 v 6 v
8 w 8 w
f3 s f4 s
2 t 2
4 u 4 t
6 v u
w 6 v
8 8 w
Now see that f1 is not function from set A to set B, since there is an element 6 A which is not associated
to any element of B, but f2 and f3 are the function from A to B, because under f2 and f3 each elements in
A is associated to a unique element in B. But f4 is not function from A to B because an elements 8 A is
associated to two elements u and w in B.
Domain : Set A is called domain of f i.e. Set of those elements from which functions is to be defined.
Co-Domain : Here set B is called co-domain of function.
Range : Set of images of each element in A, is called range of f.
Note: Range Co-domain
Real Valued Function :
All those functions of which domain and Co-Domain are subsets of R are called real valued
functions. In this case for a given function we have to find domain and Range.
Bounded Function :
A function is said to be bounded if | f (x) | m , where m is a finite quantity.
Equality of two functions :
Two function f and g are said to be equal functions, if and only if
(i) domain of f = domain of g
(ii) co-domain of f = co-domain of g
(iii) f(x) = g(x) x Î their domain
Example :
If A = {1, 2}, B = {10, 13}, f : A ® B, f(x) = x2 + 9 and g = A ® B, g(x) = 3x + 7,
then f = g because domains and co-domains of both f and g are same also
f(1) = 10 = g(1) ; f(2) = 13 = g(2)

6. ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
Given function f : D1 R and g : D2 R, we describe function f + g, f – g, fg and f/g as follows
f + g : D R is a function defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x),
f – g : D R is a function defined by (f – g) (x) = f(x) – g(x)
fg : D R is a function defined by (fg) (x) = f(x) g(x)
f f f x
: C R is a function defined by ( ) (x) = , g(x) 0,
g g gx
where D = D1 D2 and C = {x D : g (x) 0}

9. PERIODIC FUNCTION
Definition :
A function f(x) is said to be periodic function if, there exists a fixed positive real number T
independent of x, such that, f(x + T) = f(x) x Domain.
T is called one of the period of the function
In other words, a function is said to be periodic function if its each value is repeated after a
definite interval.
Here the least positive value of T is called the fundamental period of the function.
Clearly f(x) = f(x + T) = f(x + 2T) = f(x + 3T) = . . .
For example :
(a) sin x, cos x, sec x and cosec x are periodic functions with period 2 .
(b) tan x and cot x are periodic functions with period .
(c) |sinx|, |cosx|, |tanx|, |cotx|, |secx|, |cosecx| are periodic functions with period .
(d) sinnx, cosnx, secnx, cosecnx are periodic functions with period 2 or according as n is odd or
even.
(e) tannx and cotnx are periodic function with period whether n is odd or even.
9.1 Properties of Periodic Function :
(i) If f(x) is periodic with period T, then
a . f(x) is periodic with period T.
f(x + c) is periodic with period T.

Solve the equation, x2 – 4x + [x] + 3 = 0.

We are given that, x2 – 4x + [x] + 3 = 0
x2 – 4x + x – {x} + 3 = 0
x2 – 3x + 3 = {x}

Thus the given equation does not have any solution.
(vi) Drawing the graph of y = a f(x) from the known graph of y = f(x)

It is clear that the corresponding points (points with same x coordinates) would have their

Let us take any point x0 domain of f(x). Let ax = x0 or x =
a
Clearly if 0 < a < 1 then x > x0 and f(x) will stretch by 1/a units against y–axis, and
if a > 1, x < x0, then f(x) will compress by ‘a’ units against y–axis.

For drawing the graph of y = f–1(x) we have to first of all find the interval in which the
function is bijective (invertible). Then take the reflection of y = f(x) (within the invertible
region) about the line y = x.
The reflected part would give us the graph of y = f–1 (x). e.g. let us draw the graph of
y = sin–1 x. We know that y = f(x) = sin x is invertible If f : , 1,1 the inverse

mapping would be f–1 : [–1, 1] ,

Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 1
348 (a)
Let 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ∈ 𝑅
Since, 𝑓(−𝑥) = −𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑓(𝑥 + 2) = 𝑓(𝑥)
Now, 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 )
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(0) and 𝑓(−2) = 𝑓(−2 + 2) = 𝑓(0)
⇒ 𝑥13 − 1 = 𝑥23 − 1
Now, 𝑓(0) = 𝑓(−2) = −𝑓(2) = −𝑓(0)
⇒ 𝑥13 = 𝑥23
⇒ 2𝑓(0) = 0 ⇒ 𝑓(0) = 0
⇒ 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
∴ 𝑓(4) = 𝑓(2) = 𝑓(0) = 0
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is one-one. Also, it is onto as range of 𝑓 = 𝑅
