    Question

    Let X, Y be defined by

    X={(xn)n1:lim supnxn=1, where xn{0,1}}X = \{(x_n)_{n \geq 1} : \limsup_{n \to \infty} x_n = 1, \; \text{where} \; x_n \in \{0, 1\}\}​​

    and

    Y={(xn)n1:limnxn does not exist, where xn{0,1}}Y = \{(x_n)_{n \geq 1} : \lim_{n \to \infty} x_n \; \text{does not exist, where} \; x_n \in \{0, 1\}\}​.

    Which of the following is true?

    A.

    X,Y are countable.

    B.

    X is countable and Y is uncountable.

    C.

    X is uncountable and Y is countable.

    D.

    X,Y are uncountable.

    Correct option is D

    Let xn:N{0,1}x_n:\mathbb{N}\to \{0,1\}​  be a function(sequence).
    total no. of such functions=2cardinality of natural numbers 2^{\textit{cardinality of natural numbers}}​  = uncountable
    now if

    lim supn(xn)=1\limsup_{n\to \infty}(x_n)=1

    then  X={(xn)n1:lim supnxn=1, xn{0,1}}X = \{(x_n)_{n \geq 1} : \limsup_{n \to \infty} x_n = 1, \; x_n \in \{0, 1\}\}​  is an uncountable set as after any finite terms and up to infinite terms, xnx_n​ can take both values 0 and 1. 

    Similarly, 

    Y={(xn)n1:limnxn does not exist, where xn{0,1}}Y = \{(x_n)_{n \geq 1} : \lim_{n \to \infty} x_n \; \text{does not exist, where} \; x_n \in \{0, 1\}\}​​

    is an uncountable set as both 0 and 1 are possible values of xnx_n​ up to infinite terms.

    Correct Answer: (D).\textbf{Correct Answer: (D).}​​
