Let A = \x : |x^2 - 10| leq 6\ and B = \x : |x - 2| > 1\. Then

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula |X| leq a iff -a leq X leq a |X| > a iff X < -a text or X > a ### Core Logic Expand both set definitions onto the real number line to find explicit intervals for A and B, then apply set operations to verify the options. ### Step 1: Simplify Set A |x^2 - 10| leq 6 -6 leq x^2 - 10 leq 6 4 leq x^2 leq 16 This yields x in [-4, -2] cup [2, 4]. So, A = [-4, -2] cup [2, 4]. ### Step 2: Simplify Set B |x - 2| > 1 x - 2 < -1 text or x - 2 > 1 x < 1 text or x > 3 So, B = (-infty, 1) cup (3, infty). ### Step 3: Evaluate Options A cup B = (-infty, 1) cup [2, infty) (Option 1 is wrong, has 1]) A cap B = [-4, -2] cup (3, 4] (Option 3 is wrong, has [3,4]) A - B = A cap B^c. B^c = [1, 3]. A cap [1, 3] = [2, 3]. (Option 2 is wrong, has [2, 3)) B - A = B cap A^c. A^c = (-infty, -4) cup (-2, 2) cup (4, infty). B cap A^c = (-infty, -4) cup (-2, 1) cup (4, infty). This matches Option 4 perfectly. ### Pattern Recognition Draw inequalities involving absolute values directly onto a single number line graph to perform union and intersection operations without logic gaps. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Sets and Relations
