Question

Write with reason, whether the following set is finite or infinite.

Set of apparatus in the laboratory

Answer 1

The set of apparatus in a laboratory is a finite set.

Reason:

• Physical Space Constraints: A laboratory is a physically bounded space (a room or building) that can only hold a limited amount of equipment.
• Countable Inventory: Every piece of apparatus, such as beakers, test tubes, microscopes, and burners, is a distinct physical object. You can systematically count each item one by one.
• Definite Total: The total count of equipment will always be a specific whole number (e.g., 150 items or 1,200 items).
