If D = {x : x ∈ N, x is a factor of 24 and x is a multiple of 4}, which set is D?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D = {4, 8, 12, 24}
The natural factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. We must retain only those factors that are also multiples of 4. These are 4, 8, 12, and 24. The word “and” means both conditions must hold simultaneously, so D = {4, 8, 12, 24}. Therefore option A is correct.
