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).}​​
