Which of the following pairs of sets are disjoint?
(i) {1, 2, 3, 4 } and { x : x is a natural number and 4 ≤ x ≤ 6 }
(ii) { a, e, i, o, u } and { c, d, e, f }
(iii) { x : x is an even integer } and { x : x is an odd integer }.

- (i)
- (ii)
- (iii)
- None of these
- (i)
Correct Option: C
(a) {x: x is a natural number and 4 ≤ x ≤ 6} = {4, 5, 6}. Now, {1, 2, 3, 4} and {4, 5, 6} have one element 4 common. Therefore, the given two sets are not disjoint.
(b) The sets {a, e, i, o, u} and {c, d, e, f} have one element e as common. Then, the given two sets are not disjoint.
(c) The sets {x: x is an even integer} and {x: x is an odd integer} have no element as common and therefore they are disjoint sets.
