Question

Consider the set of whole numbers from 1 to 10. List the numbers that meet the condition: less than six or even

Answer 1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10

Explanation:

The important point in the condition is the or, meaning either the number must less than six or the number must be even. Even if both the condititons are met it, will be acceptable but not necessary.

The set of numbers we are working with : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Out of these, numbers less than six : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

and the even numbers (divisible by 2) are : {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

So the required list of numbers (removing doubles) : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10}
