If A = {2, 4, 6, 8} and B = {x : x is a positive even integer less than 10}, which option is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A = B
The positive even integers less than 10 are 2, 4, 6, and 8. Hence the set-builder description gives B = {2, 4, 6, 8}. Since this is exactly the roster form of A, both sets contain the same elements and A = B. No other positive even integer below 10 exists.
