i. A = {a| a is a natural number smaller than zero}
Natural numbers begin from 1.
∴ A = { }
∴ A is an empty set.
ii. B = {x | x2 = 0}
Here, x2 = 0
∴ x = 0 … [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ B = {0}
∴ B is not an empty set.
iii. C = {x | 5x – 2 = 0, x ∈ N}
Here, 5x – 2 = 0
∴ 5x = 2
∴ x = 2/5
Given, x ∈ N
But, x = (2/5) is not a natural number.
∴ C = { }
∴ C is an empty set.
