1.Subset & Super set:
If Every element of set A is a member of Set B, then set A is called subset of Set B.
we write as A⊆B
read as "A is subset of B"
And set B is called Super set of set A
read as "B is super set of A"
NOTE:
If and only if every element of set A is a member of set B
and every element of set B is a member of set A.
"If A⊆B and B⊆A then A and B are called Equal sets"
NOTE:
∅ has no elements
So, ∅ is subset to A
And every element of set A is member of set A
So, A is subset to A(itself)
Example.1:
A={1, 2, 3, 4} and B={2, 4}
So
set B is subset of set A
∴ B⊂A
And
set A is called Super set of set B
∴ A⊃B
Example.2:
Q is the set of factors of 25
first we know the elements of sets
P={1, 5}
Q={1, 5, 25}
Here Every element of set P is the element of set Q
So
set P is subset of set Q
∴ P⊂Q
And
set Q is called Super set of set P
∴ Q⊃P
Example.3:
Y={x/x is a letter of the word "FOLLOW"}
X={ w, o, l, f }
Y={f, o, l, w}
So
set X is subset of set Y
∴ X⊂Y
Every element of set Y is the element of set X
So
∴ Y⊂X
So, X, Y are equal sets
∴ X=Y
2.Proper subset:
In other words
If every element of set A is presents in set B but set A is not equal set to set B then set A is called proper subset of set B.
∴ A is proper subset of B
3.Universal set:
A set super set of all sets of under our consideration is called "Universal set"
It is denoted by "U" or "μ"
Here all the sets under our consideration are the subsets to Universal set
For example,
We take all classes in our school as sets
Then
School set is Universal set
Because all class sets are subsets to School set
-------------------------------------------
similarly
In a village,
Let's take male people are one set and
female people are other set
Then the set of village people is universal set
---------------------------------------------
similarly,
Prime Numbers and Composite Numbers are belongs to Natural numbers
And,
Natural number set is a super set for Prime Number set and Composite Numbers set
So,
Set of Natural numbers is Universal set
