Which of the following are examples of the null set

Question:

Which of the following are examples of the null set

(i) Set of odd natural numbers divisible by 2

(ii) Set of even prime numbers

(iii) {x:is a natural numbers, < 5 and > 7 }

(iv) {y:is a point common to any two parallel lines}

Solution:

(i) A set of odd natural numbers divisible by 2 is a null set because no odd number is divisible by 2.

(ii) A set of even prime numbers is not a null set because 2 is an even prime number.

(iii) {xx is a natural number, < 5 and > 7} is a null set because a number cannot be simultaneously less than 5 and greater than 7.

(iv) {yy is a point common to any two parallel lines} is a null set because parallel lines do not intersect. Hence, they have no common point.
