Are the following pair of sets equal ? Give reasons.

$A = \{ 2,3\} ,\quad \,\,\,B = \{ x:x$ is solution of ${x^2} + 5x + 6 = 0\} $

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

$A = \{ 2,3\} ,\quad \,\,\,B = \{ x:x$ is solution of ${x^2} + 5x + 6 = 0\} $

The equation $x^{2}+5 x+6=0$ can be solved as:

$x(x+3)+2(x+3)=0$

$(x+2)(x+3)=0$

$x=-2$ or $x=-3$

$\therefore A=\{2,3\} ; B=\{-2,-3\}$

$\therefore A \neq B$
