Question
Download Solution PDFLet π© ⊆ β be a non-measurable set with respect to the Lebesgue measure on β.
Consider the following statements:
π: If π = { π₯ ∈ π© βΆ π₯ is irrational }, then π is Lebesgue measurable.
π: The boundary of π© has positive Lebesgue outer measure.
Then
- both π and π are TRUE
- π is FALSE and π is TRUE
- π is TRUE and π is FALSE
- both π and π are FALSE

Explanation -
For Statement (P) -
If N is a non-measurable set with respect to the Lebesgue measure, then any subset of N,
such as M = { x ∈ N : x is irrational },
can also be non-measurable under the Lebesgue measure.
It's important to note that the irrationals themselves form a set of full measure so we can't assume that a subcollection is necessarily measurable.
So, P is not necessarily true.
For Statement (Q) -
The boundary of π© has positive Lebesgue outer measure.
This is ingeneral true.
So Statement Q is true.
Hence option (2) is true.
