Which of the following are examples of the null set
(i) Set of odd natural numbers divisible by 2
(ii) Set of even prime numbers
(iii) {x: x is a natural numbers, x < 5 and x > 7 }
(iv) {y: y is a point common to any two parallel lines}
(i) Set of odd natural numbers divisible by 2
(ii) Set of even prime numbers
(iii) {x: x is a natural numbers, x < 5 and x > 7 }
(iv) {y: y is a point common to any two parallel lines}
Solution and Explanation
(i) A set of odd natural numbers divisible by 2 is a null set because no odd number is divisible by 2.
(ii) A set of even prime numbers is not a null set because 2 is an even prime number.
(iii) {x: x is a natural number, x < 5 and x > 7} is a null set because a number cannot be simultaneously less than 5 and greater than 7.
(iv) {y: y is a point common to any two parallel lines} is a null set because parallel lines do not intersect. Hence, they have no common point.

Concepts Used:
Types of Sets
Sets are of various types depending on their features. They are as follows:
- Empty Set - It is a set that has no element in it. It is also called a null or void set and is denoted by Φ or {}.
- Singleton Set - It is a set that contains only one element.
- Finite Set - A set that has a finite number of elements in it.
- Infinite Set - A set that has an infinite number of elements in it.
- Equal Set - Sets in which elements of one set are similar to elements of another set. The sequence of elements can be any but the same elements exist in both sets.
- Sub Set - Set X will be a subset of Y if all the elements of set X are the same as the element of set Y.
- Power Set - It is the collection of all subsets of a set X.
- Universal Set - A basic set that has all the elements of other sets and forms the base for all other sets.
- Disjoint Set - If there is no common element between two sets, i.e if there is no element of Set A present in Set B and vice versa, then they are called disjoint sets.
- Overlapping Set - It is the set of two sets that have at least one common element, called overlapping sets.
