Here are the meanings of the following terms with examples:

*a) Finite Set: A set that has a countable number of elements.
Example: The set of days in a week, A={Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}A = \{ \text{Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday} \}.

*b) Infinite Set: A set that has an uncountable number of elements.
Example: The set of natural numbers, N={1,2,3,… }N = \{ 1, 2, 3, \dots \}.

*c) Null Set (or Empty Set): A set that contains no elements. It is denoted by ∅\emptyset or {}\{ \}.
Example: The set of all even prime numbers greater than 2, B={}B = \{ \}.

*d) Unit Set (or Singleton Set): A set that contains exactly one element.
Example: The set of even prime numbers, C={2}C = \{ 2 \}.

*e) Equivalent Sets: Two sets are equivalent if they have the same number of elements (i.e., the same cardinality).
Example: If A={1,2,3}A = \{ 1, 2, 3 \} and B={a,b,c}B = \{ a, b, c \}, then AA and BB are equivalent because both have 3 elements.

*f) Equal Sets: Two sets are equal if they contain exactly the same elements. The order of elements does not matter.
Example: If A={1,2,3}A = \{ 1, 2, 3 \} and B={3,1,2}B = \{ 3, 1, 2 \}, then A=BA = B.

*g) Element of a Set: An individual member or object belonging to a set.
Example: In the set A={1,2,3}A = \{ 1, 2, 3 \}, the number 1 is an element of set AA, written as 1∈A1 \in A.

*h) Cardinality of a Set: The number of distinct elements in a set. It is denoted by n(A)n(A) for a set AA.
Example: If A={a,b,c,d}A = \{ a, b, c, d \}, then the cardinality of AA is n(A)=4n(A) = 4.

*i) Complement of a Set: Given a universal set UU and a set AA, the complement of AA (denoted A′A' or AcA^c) is the set of all elements in UU that are not in AA.
Example: If U={1,2,3,4,5}U = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \} and A={1,3}A = \{ 1, 3 \}, then A′={2,4,5}A' = \{ 2, 4, 5 \}.

*j) Intersection of a Set: The intersection of two sets AA and BB (denoted A∩BA \cap B) is the set containing all elements that are common to both AA and BB.
Example: If A={1,2,3,4}A = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4 \} and B={3,4,5,6}B = \{ 3, 4, 5, 6 \}, then A∩B={3,4}A \cap B = \{ 3, 4 \}.
