Which option correctly gives T = {x : x ∈ N, x < 10 and x is divisible by 3}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: T = {3, 6, 9}
The positive natural multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and so on. Imposing the condition x < 10 keeps 3, 6 and 9 but excludes 12. Under the stated convention N starts at 1, so 0 is not included. Therefore T = {3, 6, 9}; option D also contains 1, which is not divisible by 3.
