A well defined collection of objects or ideas is known as a SET.

Set Theory is a comparatively new concept in Mathematics.

It was developed by Georg Cantor (1845-1918).
Cantor's work between 1874 and 1884 is the origin of Set Theory.

age will be twice the sum of the ages of
two children. Find the age of father?
