How many elements are in A = {x : x ∈ ℕ, 10 < x < 15}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 4
The condition requires natural numbers strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 15. Therefore, 10 and 15 are excluded because the inequalities are strict. The members are 11, 12, 13 and 14. Since there are four distinct members, the set is finite and its cardinality is 4. Hence option B is correct.
