If A = {x : x ∈ ℕ, x² < 10} and B = {1, 2, 3}, which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A = B
Evaluate the condition x² < 10 for natural numbers. For x = 1, 2, and 3, the squares are 1, 4, and 9, all less than 10. For x = 4, x² = 16, which is not less than 10; larger natural numbers also fail. Thus A = {1, 2, 3}, exactly the same as B. Therefore A = B, so option A is correct.
