Which of the following are pairs of equivalent sets?

Question: Which of the following are pairs of equivalent sets? (i) $A=\{-1,-2,0\}$ and $B=\{1,2,3,$, (ii) $C=\{x: x \in N, x3\}$ and $D=\{x: x \in W, x3\}$ (iii) $E=\{a, e, i, o, u\}$ and $F=\{p, q, r, s, t\}$ Solution: (i) Equivalent Sets can have different or same elements but have the same amount of elements. We have, $A=\{-1,-2,0\}$ and $B=\{1,2,3,$, A and B are equivalent sets because both have 3 elements in their set. (ii) Equivalent Sets can have different or same elements but have the sa...

The volume and the curved surface area of a cylinder are 1650 cm

Question: The volume and the curved surface area of a cylinder are 1650 cm3and 660 cm2respectively. Find the radius and height of the cylinder. Solution: Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2rh=660 cm2 ... (1) Volume of the cylinder =r2h =1650 cm3 ... (2) From (1) and (2), we can calculate the radius (r) and the height of cylinder (h).
