If A = {x : x ∈ ℕ and x is greater than every three-digit number}, what kind of set is A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Infinite set
The greatest three-digit number is 999. Every natural number from 1000 onward is greater than every three-digit number, so A = {1000, 1001, 1002, ...}. This list has no final member and continues without bound. Therefore A has infinitely many elements, making option C correct.
