1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to identify which of the given sets represents a null set (empty set). A null set is a set that contains no elements.
2. Solution Steps
* Option a: contains the element , so it is not a null set.
* Option b: is an empty set, since it contains no elements. It is a null set.
* Option c: contains the element , which represents the empty set. Therefore, it is a set containing one element (the empty set), and is not itself the empty set. So, it's not a null set.
* Option d: represents the set of integers that are both even and prime. The only even prime number is
2. Since 2 is both even and prime, this set contains the element
2. Therefore the set is $\{2\}$, which is not a null set.
* Option e: contains two elements: the empty set and the number . Therefore, it's not a null set.
3. Final Answer
The set that represents a null set is {}.
The correct answer is b.
