    Which of the following is the empty set?       

    A)  {\[x:x\] is a real number and \[{{x}^{2}}-1=0\]}     

    B)  {\[x:x\] is a real number and\[~{{x}^{2}}+1=0\]}

    C)  {\[x:x\] is real number and\[{{x}^{2}}-9=0\]}       

    D)  {\[x:x\] is a real number and\[{{x}^{2}}=x+2\]}     

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    First, we define all the four given sets (a) {\[x:x\] is a real number and\[{{x}^{2}}-1=0\]}\[=\{1,-1\}\] (b) {\[x:x\] is a real number and \[{{x}^{2}}+1=0\}\]\[=\phi \] (c) {\[x:x\] is a real number and\[{{x}^{2}}-9=0\]}\[=\{3,-3\}\] (d) {\[x:x\] is a real number and\[{{x}^{2}}=x+2\]} \[=\{-1,2\}\] Clearly, (b) is empty set.
