CONCEPT:

  • A set which contains finite number of elements is called a finite set.
  • A set which has infinite number of elements is called an infinite set
  • A set which does not contain any element is called an empty set.

CALCULATION:

Given: A = {x : x ∈ R such that x2 - 7x + 12 = 0}

First let's solve the quadratic equation x2 - 7x + 12 = 0

⇒ x2 - 3x - 4x + 12 = 0

⇒ x(x - 3) - 4(x - 3) = 0

⇒ (x - 4) × (x - 3) = 0

⇒ x = 3, 4

⇒ A = {3, 4}

As we can see that, set A has two elements which means that set A is a finite set

Hence, correct option is 2
