Example of Finite

The set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} has 5 elements and so it is a finite set.
If a set has the elements {1, 2, 3, 4 . . .}, then it is known as an infinite set.

Solved Example on Finite

Ques: What type of set is the one given below?
F = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

Choices:

A. finite set
B. infinite set
C. null set
D. none of these
Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Step 1: If a set has a countable number of elements, then it is known as a finite set. 
Step 2: The given set has 7 elements (countable). 
Step 3: So, the given set is a finite set.
