How many elements are in P={x: x is a positive multiple of 18 and x<70}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 3
List the positive multiples of 18 in increasing order: 18, 36, 54, 72, and so on. The inequality x<70 includes 18, 36, and 54, but excludes 72 because it is greater than 70. Thus P={18,36,54}, and its cardinality is n(P)=3. Option B would incorrectly include 72, while C and D count numbers that do not satisfy the condition. Therefore option A is correct.
