(e) All the tall boys of the school. 

(f) All the efficient doctors of the hospital. 

(g) All the hardworking teachers in a school. 

(h) All the prime numbers less than 100. 

(i) All the letters in the word GEOMETRY. 

2. Let A = (a, b, c, d, e, f}. Insert the appropriate symbol ∈ or ∉ in the blank space.

(a) d __ A

(b) y __ A

(c) m __ A

(d) a __ A

(e) e __ A

(f) x __ A
