If a set A contains finite number of elements n, we denote the cardinal number of set A by n(A).  In other words, n(A) stands for the number of elements in a finite set.

What are the cardinal number for each of the following sets?

  1. A = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} (1)
  2. B = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h} (2)
  3. C = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} (3)

Correct Answer

(1) 6
(2) 8
