Which collection is generally not considered a set?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Collection of tasty fruits
A set must have a clear membership rule. ‘Tasty’ depends on personal taste, so people may disagree about which fruits belong to that collection; it is therefore not well-defined. The states of India, days of a week and natural numbers below 10 can be identified objectively. Hence option C is correct.
