What type of set is A = {x : x is a natural number divisible by 3}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Infinite set
The natural numbers divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and so on. For every such number, adding 3 gives another natural number that is also divisible by 3. Since this process never ends and no upper bound is specified, the set has infinitely many elements. Therefore, A is an infinite set.
