JEE MainMathematicsSets and RelationsMCQ+4 / −1
Consider the two sets : A = {m R : both the roots of x2 – (m + 1)x + m + 4 = 0 are real} and B = [–3, 5). Which of the following is not true?
- AA B = {–3}
- BB – A = (–3, 5)
- CA B = R
- DA - B = (, 3) (5, )

Correct answer: D
- Find set
The quadratic is
For both roots to be real, its discriminant must satisfy
Here,
Now simplify:
Factorize:
So the condition is
This gives
Hence,
Given
- Check each option
Option A:
Compute the intersection:
Therefore,
So Option A is true.
Option B:
Now remove from all elements that are in .
Since only from belongs to ,
So Option B is true.
Option C:
We have
Their union is
So Option C is true.
Option D:
Compute:
Now,
- from , the point is in , so it is removed, giving ;
- from , since (because ), the entire remains.
Thus,
But the option states which incorrectly excludes .
So Option D is not true.
- Final conclusion
The statement which is not true is:
