In set theory, the intersection of two sets (A) and (B) is defined as:

  1. (A \cap B = {x \in A \mid x \in B})

  2. (A \cap B = {x \in A \mid x \notin B})

  3. (A \cap B = {x \in B \mid x \in A})

  4. (A \cap B = {x \in B \mid x \notin A})

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The intersection of two sets (A) and (B) is the set of all elements that are common to both (A) and (B).

In algebra, a group (G) is a non-empty set together with an operation (\cdot) that combines any two elements (a) and (b) of (G) to form an element (a \cdot b) of (G), such that the following properties hold:

  1. Associativity: ((a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c))

  2. Identity element: There exists an element (e) in (G) such that (a \cdot e = e \cdot a = a) for all (a) in (G)

  3. Inverse element: For each (a) in (G), there exists an element (b) in (G) such that (a \cdot b = b \cdot a = e), where (e) is the identity element

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A group is a non-empty set together with an operation that combines any two elements of the set to form another element of the set, such that the operation is associative, there is an identity element, and every element has an inverse element.

In set theory, the union of two sets (A) and (B) is defined as:

  1. (A \cup B = {x \in A \mid x \in B})

  2. (A \cup B = {x \in A \mid x \notin B})

  3. (A \cup B = {x \in B \mid x \in A})

  4. (A \cup B = {x \in B \mid x \notin A})

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The union of two sets (A) and (B) is the set of all elements that are in either (A) or (B) (or both).

In algebra, a ring (R) is a non-empty set together with two operations, addition (+) and multiplication (\cdot), that combine any two elements (a) and (b) of (R) to form elements (a + b) and (a \cdot b) of (R), respectively, such that the following properties hold:

  1. Associativity: ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c)) and ((a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c))

  2. Commutativity: (a + b = b + a) and (a \cdot b = b \cdot a)

  3. Distributivity: (a \cdot (b + c) = a \cdot b + a \cdot c)

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A ring is a non-empty set together with two operations, addition and multiplication, that combine any two elements of the set to form other elements of the set, such that the operations are associative, commutative, and distributive.

In set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets (A) and (B) is defined as:

  1. (A \times B = {(a, b) \mid a \in A \text{ and } b \in B})

  2. (A \times B = {(a, b) \mid a \in A \text{ and } b \notin B})

  3. (A \times B = {(a, b) \mid a \notin A \text{ and } b \in B})

  4. (A \times B = {(a, b) \mid a \notin A \text{ and } b \notin B})

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Cartesian product of two sets (A) and (B) is the set of all ordered pairs ((a, b)) such that (a) is in (A) and (b) is in (B).

In algebra, a field (F) is a non-empty set together with two operations, addition (+) and multiplication (\cdot), that combine any two elements (a) and (b) of (F) to form elements (a + b) and (a \cdot b) of (F), respectively, such that the following properties hold:

  1. Associativity: ((a + b) + c = a + (b + c)) and ((a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c))

  2. Commutativity: (a + b = b + a) and (a \cdot b = b \cdot a)

  3. Distributivity: (a \cdot (b + c) = a \cdot b + a \cdot c)

  4. All of the above and the existence of multiplicative inverses

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A field is a non-empty set together with two operations, addition and multiplication, that combine any two elements of the set to form other elements of the set, such that the operations are associative, commutative, and distributive, and every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse.

In set theory, a relation (R) from a set (A) to a set (B) is a subset of the Cartesian product (A \times B).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A relation (R) from a set (A) to a set (B) is a subset of the Cartesian product (A \times B), meaning that it is a set of ordered pairs ((a, b)) such that (a) is in (A) and (b) is in (B).

In algebra, a function (f) from a set (A) to a set (B) is a relation (R) from (A) to (B) such that for each (a) in (A), there exists exactly one (b) in (B) such that ((a, b)) is in (R).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A function (f) from a set (A) to a set (B) is a relation (R) from (A) to (B) such that for each (a) in (A), there exists exactly one (b) in (B) such that ((a, b)) is in (R). This means that each element of (A) is mapped to exactly one element of (B).

In set theory, the power set of a set (A) is the set of all subsets of (A).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The power set of a set (A) is the set of all subsets of (A), meaning that it is the set of all sets that are contained in (A).

In algebra, a group (G) is abelian if the operation (\cdot) is commutative, i.e., (a \cdot b = b \cdot a) for all (a) and (b) in (G).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An abelian group is a group in which the operation is commutative, meaning that the order of the elements in the operation does not matter. In other words, (a \cdot b = b \cdot a) for all (a) and (b) in the group.

In set theory, the complement of a set (A) in a universal set (U) is the set of all elements of (U) that are not in (A).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The complement of a set (A) in a universal set (U) is the set of all elements of (U) that are not in (A). It is denoted by (A^c) or (U - A).

In algebra, a ring (R) is a commutative ring if the operation (\cdot) is commutative, i.e., (a \cdot b = b \cdot a) for all (a) and (b) in (R).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A commutative ring is a ring in which the operation is commutative, meaning that the order of the elements in the operation does not matter. In other words, (a \cdot b = b \cdot a) for all (a) and (b) in the ring.

In set theory, the empty set is the set that contains no elements.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The empty set is the set that contains no elements. It is denoted by (\emptyset) or {}.

In algebra, a field (F) is a division ring, meaning that every nonzero element of (F) has a multiplicative inverse.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A division ring is a ring in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. Fields are division rings, but not all division rings are fields.

In set theory, the intersection of two sets (A) and (B) is the set of all elements that are common to both (A) and (B).

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The intersection of two sets (A) and (B) is the set of all elements that are common to both (A) and (B). It is denoted by (A \cap B).
