PREFACE

It gives us great satisfaction to be able to bring out this new version of our old MathematicsToday Series for Classes VI to VIII. The old series has been rehashed and redesigned incorporatingthe current global trends and International practices and the latest philosophy and policy ofproviding stress free education.

The salient features of this series are :

1. It follows strictly the new syllabus of the ICSE Council.2. All the mathematical concepts have been presented in a very simple and lucid form and

loading the course content with unnecessary and irrelevant details has been avoided. Theapproach and orientation is to lay a strong foundation for the students through adequateemphasis on the fundamentals.

3. It aims at complete involvement of the pupils in the learning process. The emphasis throughoutthe text is on a student-centered performance and the activity approach is freely used relatingthe mathematical concepts to real life situations.

4. Every unit is introduced by a motivating paragraph or story.5. To facilitate easy and better understanding each unit is divided into a number of subunits

with short and separate practice exercises on each subunit.6. An attempt has been made to expose the children more fully to the ‘Why’ of various

operations and made abundant use of diagrams, illustrations, cartoons, tables and chartsto stimulate the student’s interest in the subject and to clarify more difficult concepts.

7. Colour panels are used throughout as a teaching aid to emphasize important terms andrelationships and present useful tips.

8. The problems given in the books avoid tedious calculations and help in strengthening theunderstanding of basic principles honing the faculties of thinking and reasoning.

9. Each chapter contains a unit summary of key points at the end. It reviews the main pointscovered and helps the students in remembering them.

10. Mental maths exercises have been given to help the students acquire speed and sharpentheir intellect.

11. A special feature is the inclusion of ‘Mixed Review Exercises’ which would keep the studentsin constant touch with all the topics studied earlier.

12. Historical Notes, Quizzes, Just For Fun, Puzzles and Enrichment Material offer furtherintellectrual challenge to sharp students and help them not only to maintain their interest inthe subject and widen their horizon of knowledge but would also be of immense help inpreparing for such competitions such as Mathematics Olympiad at various levels.

It is hoped that this series of books will meet more than adequately, the needs of the studentsthey are meant for. Any suggestions for the improvement of the books would be most welcomeand gratefully acknowledged.

RevisionWe help you to revise here the basic set concepts that you have studied in Class VI.1. The word set is used for a collection of objects of any kind whatsoever, whereby given any object, we

can say with certainity whether the object belongs to that collection or not. In other words,

A set is a collection of well defined objects.

The following are some examples of sets :(i) a set of animals;

(ii) the set of teachers teaching you;(iii) the set of letters in the word “CRICKET”.The following are not well defined collections

and are, therefore, not sets :(i) the books that are a fun to read;

(ii) the movies that are good.2. Sets can be specified by any of the following methods :(i) Description method

(ii) Tabular form or the Roster method(iii) Rule method or Set Builder form

Notations1. The sets are usually denoted by capital letters A, B, C, etc., and the members of the set are denoted by

small letters a, b, c, ..., x, y, z, etc.2. The symbol x S means x is an element of set S or x belongs to S whereas the symbol x S means x

is not an element of S or x does not belong to S. For example, let C be the set of all countries in Asia.Then we have : India C, Ceylon C, Japan Cwhereas, England C, Canada C, France C.

Description MethodIn this method, we write a description of the members of the set stating clearly their common property. The

description is usually enclosed in braces ‘{ }’.Ex. 1. Write the following sets in description form :

(i) 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (ii) a, e, i, o, uSol. (i) {even numbers less than 12}

(ii) {vowels of the English alphabet}Tabulation form or the Roster Method

In this method, we list all the members of the set and separate them by commas. The list is enclosed withinthe braces ‘{ }’.

The order in which elements are listed is unimportant. Also, repetition is not done while listing theelements. Thus, if S is the set of letters in the word ‘PAPER’, it will be specified as S = { p, a, e, r }.

Ex. 2. Write each of the following sets in Roster form :(i) The set of prime numbers less than 15.

(ii) The set of colours of the rainbow.(iii) The set of letters in the word ‘REMEMBER ’.

Sol. The given sets can be written as(i) A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13}

(ii) B = {violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red}(iii) C = {R, E, M, B}If the number of elements is large, we can write a few elements, then indicate the pattern by puttingthree dots and then in the end, write the last element.

Ex. 3. Write the set A of the set of non-zero multiples of 2 less than 100.Sol. The set of non-zero multiples of 2 less than 100 is A = {2, 4, 6, ..., 98}.Ex. 4. Write the set P of the integers greater than – 5.Sol. P = {–4, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, ...}.

Rule Method or Set Builder FormIn this method, we write a variable (say x) representing any member of the set, put the vertical

‘|’ or the colon ‘:’ which stands for the words ‘such that’.Then we state the property which is characteristic of all the objects of the set.Thus, if the members of a set S possess a property P and x is any element of S, then we write

the set S asS = { x | x has property P } or S = {x : x has property P }

Ex. 5. Write the following sets in the set builder form :(i) The set E of days of the week.

(ii) The set A of natural numbers less than 20.(iii) {–9, –6, –3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}.

Sol. (i) E = {d | d is a day of the week}(ii) A = {x | x N, x < 20}

(iii) Given set = {x | x = 3n, n Z and – 3 < n < 6}Ex. 6. Write the following sets in roster form and also in set builder form :

(a) The set of integers which lie between –5 and 4 (both inclusive).(b) The set of natural numbers which are divisible by 8 and less than 60.

Sol. (a) {–5, –4, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4} or {x | x Z, –5 < x < 4}(b) {8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56} or {x : x = 8n, n N and x < 60}.

Ex. 7. Write the following sets both in roster form and description form : (i) {x : x = n2, n N and n < 7}. (ii) {x : x is a Ocean}(iii) {x : x is a letter in the word ‘EXAMINATION’}.(iv) {y | y = 2x –7, x W and x < 7}.

Sol. (i) Natural numbers < 7, i.e., less than or equal to 7 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.The squares of these numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49

The given set can be written as {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49} [Roster form]or {squares of first seven natural numbers} [Description form]

(ii) {Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic} [Roster form]{Oceans of the world} [Description form]

or :

Set Concepts 3

(ii) {E, X, A, M, I, N, T, O} [Roster form] or {letters of the word ‘Examination’} [Description form]

(iii) Whole numbers less than 7 are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Putting x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively in 2x – 7 we get y = –7, –5, –3, –1, 1, 3, 5. So the given set can be written as {–7 –5, –3, –1, 1, 3, 5} [Roster form] or {odd integers lying between –8 and 6} [Description form]

Ex. 8. Write the following sets in builder form :

1 1 1 1, , , .......,

3 5 7 31

Sol. Since 3, 5, 7, ........ are odd numbers and general odd number can be written as 2n + 1 where n N,

we have Given set = 1: , and 15 .

Types of sets1. Finite set. A set whose members can be counted, i.e., in which the process of counting its

members comes to an end, is called a finite set.

For example :The following are all finite sets :

(i) A = {a, e, i, o, u} (ii) B = {x | x = 2n, n N, n < 30}(iii) The set of all persons on earth.

2. Infinite set. A set which contains unlimited number of elements, i.e., in which the counting ofelements does not come to an end, is called an infinite set.

For example :The following are all infinite sets :

(i) The set of prime numbers. (ii) The set of integers less than 0.(iii) The set of points on a line segment.

3. Singleton set. A set containing only one element is called a singleton set.

For example :{5} is a singleton set, containing only one element, namely 5.

4. Empty set or Null set. The set containing no elements at all is called the empty set. It isdenoted by the symbol ‘{ }’ or, by the symbol . The latter symbol is more commonly used.

For example :(i) = {pupils in your class over 70 years old} (ii) = {integers greater than 3 and less than 4}

(iii) = {squares with five sides}Cardinal number of a set. The number of distinct elements in a finite set A is called its Cardinalnumber and is denoted by n (A).

For example :(i) For the set A, shown in the picture n (A) = 4.

(ii) Let P = set of letters of the word ‘NANNY’. ThenP = {N, A, Y } has 3 distinct elements, and so n (P) = 3.

(iii) Let B = {x | x W, – 3 < x < –1}. Then B = , since there is no wholenumber between – 3 and –1.Since, contains no elements at all therefore n(B) = n () = 0

Remark : The cardinal set of an infinite set is not defined.

5. Equal sets. Two sets A and B are said to be identical or equal, written : A = B when they haveexactly the same elements.

To be more precise, A and B are equal if every element of A is an element of B and conversely every elementof B is also an element of A.

A =

A = B

,B =
