Key Points

  • If two or more subjects are added with the help of "and not, as well as, in addition to, along with, like, unlike, preposition(of, in, at etc..) then the verb and possessive adjective always come according to First subject (Farther one).
  • Eg. Price of cars are is hiking.
          The prices of cars are is hiking.
  • In the given sentence "a set" is the first subject which is singular hence verb "have" will change into singular- "has"

Correct sentence:- A set of books has been presented on my birthday.
