A={1,2,3,4,5…,M}
B={1,2,3,4,5…,N}
where N is an even number and M is an odd number
Quantity A- percentage of odd numbers in set A
Quantity B- percentage of even numbers in set B
The answer to this question is A. Can someone please explain what is the process?
Also, how do we know whether set A and set B contain an equal number of terms?
Let M = (say) 11 and N = (say) 10. What do you get?
If M=11 and N=10, option A is correct
However, if the values are reversed, the B should be true, right?
Also, are these sets necessarily in AP?
I mean cant they be like-
A= {1,2,3,4,5,29,79,100}
Which you can’t.
They are in an arithmetic progression indeed, with common difference of 1.
No, that’s not possible here. The question could admittedly be a bit more clear on that aspect, by saying something that references the first m positive integers.
Since there is no relation between M and N, if M is 11 and N is 20, then obviously B will be greater. So shouldn’t the answer be ‘D’?
It’s a percentage.
