Because 64 is not a factor of 32 (ii) Yes, { x : x is a factor of 27} + {3, 9, 27, 54}
Because 54 is not a factor of 27 (iii) 1 × 124 = 124
2 × 62 = 124
4 × 31 = 124
Factors of 124 = 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124

2 × 36 = 72
3 × 24 = 72
4 × 18 = 72
6 ×12 = 72
8 × 9 = 72
Factors of 72 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Set of odd factors of 72 = {1, 3, 9} (v)
3234 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 11
∴ Set of prime factors of 3234 = {2, 3, 7, 11} (vi) x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4) = 0
⇒ (x - 4)(x - 3) = 0
∴ Either x - 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = 4 ⇒ x = 3
∴ {x : x2 - 7x + 12 = 0} = {3, 4} is true (vii) x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
⇒ x2 - 6x + x - 6 = 0
⇒ x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0
⇒ (x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
∴ Either x - 6 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
i.e., x = 6 i.e., x = -1
∴ {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} ≠ {2, 3}
In other words {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} = {2, 3} is not true (ii) Yes, { x : x is a factor of 27} + {3, 9, 27, 54}
Because 54 is not a factor of 27 (iii) 1 × 124 = 124
2 × 62 = 124
4 × 31 = 124
Factors of 124 = 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124

8 × 9 = 72
Factors of 72 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Set of odd factors of 72 = {1, 3, 9} (v)
3234 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 11
∴ Set of prime factors of 3234 = {2, 3, 7, 11} (vi) x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4) = 0
⇒ (x - 4)(x - 3) = 0
∴ Either x - 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = 4 ⇒ x = 3
∴ {x : x2 - 7x + 12 = 0} = {3, 4} is true (vii) x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
⇒ x2 - 6x + x - 6 = 0
⇒ x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0
⇒ (x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
∴ Either x - 6 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
i.e., x = 6 i.e., x = -1
∴ {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} ≠ {2, 3}
In other words {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} = {2, 3} is not true
- #3-iiIs {x : x is a factor of 27} ≠ {3, 9, 27, 54}? Give reason.Ans : Yes, { x : x is a factor of 27} + {3, 9, 27, 54}
Because 54 is not a factor of 27

2 × 62 = 124
4 × 31 = 124
Factors of 124 = 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124

2 × 36 = 72
3 × 24 = 72
4 × 18 = 72
6 ×12 = 72
8 × 9 = 72
Factors of 72 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

- #3-vWrite the set of prime factors of 3234.Ans :

3234 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 11
∴ Set of prime factors of 3234 = {2, 3, 7, 11}
- #3-viIs {x : x2 - 7x + 12 = 0} = {3, 4} ?Ans : x2 - 7x + 12 = 0
⇒ x2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
⇒ x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4) = 0
⇒ (x - 4)(x - 3) = 0
∴ Either x - 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = 4 ⇒ x = 3
∴ {x : x2 - 7x + 12 = 0} = {3, 4} is true
- #3-viiIs {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} = {2, 3} ?Ans : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
⇒ x2 - 6x + x - 6 = 0
⇒ x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0
⇒ (x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
∴ Either x - 6 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
i.e., x = 6 i.e., x = -1
∴ {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} ≠ {2, 3}
In other words {x : x2 - 5x - 6 = 0} = {2, 3} is not true
