Question

\(U\) is the set of positive integers less than or equal to \(10\).

\(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are subsets of \(U\).

     \(A = \left\{ {{\text{even integers}}} \right\}\)

     \(B = \left\{ {{\text{multiples of }}3} \right\}\)

     \(C = \left\{ {6,{\text{ }}7,{\text{ }}8,{\text{ }}9} \right\}\)

List the elements of \(A\).

     Award (A1)(ft) for the correct placement of \(2\), \(4\), \(3\), \(7\), and \(10\).

     Award (A1)(ft) for the correct placement of \(1\) and \(5\).

     If an element is in more than one region, award (A0) for that element.
