In set theory, the empty set is denoted by:

  1. ∅

  2. {}

  3. Ø

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The empty set, also known as the null set, is a set with no elements. It is often denoted by the symbol ∅ or {}.

Which of the following is an example of a set?

  1. {1, 2, 3}

  2. The set of all even numbers

  3. The set of all prime numbers

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects. The given examples are all sets, as they are collections of distinct objects.

The union of two sets A and B, denoted as A ∪ B, is:

  1. The set of all elements that are in either A or B

  2. The set of all elements that are in both A and B

  3. The set of all elements that are not in either A or B

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The union of two sets is the set of all elements that are in either of the two sets.

The intersection of two sets A and B, denoted as A ∩ B, is:

  1. The set of all elements that are in either A or B

  2. The set of all elements that are in both A and B

  3. The set of all elements that are not in either A or B

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The intersection of two sets is the set of all elements that are in both of the two sets.

The complement of a set A, denoted as A', is:

  1. The set of all elements that are in A

  2. The set of all elements that are not in A

  3. The set of all elements that are in both A and A'

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The complement of a set is the set of all elements that are not in the given set.

A set is said to be closed under an operation if:

  1. The operation applied to any two elements of the set always results in an element of the set

  2. The operation applied to any two elements of the set always results in an element not in the set

  3. The operation applied to any two elements of the set sometimes results in an element of the set and sometimes not

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A set is closed under an operation if performing the operation on any two elements of the set always results in an element of the set.

In topology, an open set is a set that:

  1. Contains all of its limit points

  2. Does not contain any of its limit points

  3. Contains some of its limit points

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In topology, an open set is a set that contains all of its limit points.

A topological space is a set X together with:

  1. A collection of subsets of X called open sets

  2. A collection of subsets of X called closed sets

  3. Both a collection of open sets and a collection of closed sets

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A topological space is a set X together with both a collection of open sets and a collection of closed sets.

A continuous function between two topological spaces X and Y is a function f: X → Y that:

  1. Preserves open sets

  2. Preserves closed sets

  3. Preserves both open and closed sets

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A continuous function between two topological spaces X and Y is a function f: X → Y that preserves both open and closed sets.

The Hausdorff separation axiom, also known as the T2 separation axiom, is a property of a topological space that:

  1. Requires every point in the space to be separated from every other point

  2. Requires every point in the space to be separated from every closed set not containing it

  3. Requires every open set in the space to be separated from every closed set not containing it

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Hausdorff separation axiom requires every point in the space to be separated from every closed set not containing it.

In set theory, the power set of a set A, denoted as P(A), is:

  1. The set of all subsets of A

  2. The set of all elements of A

  3. The set of all ordered pairs of elements of A

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The power set of a set A is the set of all subsets of A.

The cardinality of a set is:

  1. The number of elements in the set

  2. The size of the set

  3. The measure of the set

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in the set.

The continuum hypothesis, proposed by Georg Cantor, states that:

  1. The cardinality of the set of real numbers is equal to the cardinality of the set of integers

  2. The cardinality of the set of real numbers is greater than the cardinality of the set of integers

  3. The cardinality of the set of real numbers is less than the cardinality of the set of integers

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The continuum hypothesis states that the cardinality of the set of real numbers is greater than the cardinality of the set of integers.

In topology, a compact space is a space that:

  1. Is closed and bounded

  2. Is open and bounded

  3. Is closed and unbounded

  4. Is open and unbounded

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In topology, a compact space is a space that is closed and bounded.

The concept of a topological group combines:

  1. Set theory and group theory

  2. Topology and group theory

  3. Set theory and topology

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The concept of a topological group combines topology and group theory.
