Question:

Let A,B,C are subsets of set X. Then consider the validity of the following set theoretic statement:

Updated On: Apr 25, 2024
  • \(A\cup(B/C)=(A\cup B)/(A\cup C)\)
  • \((A/B)/C=A/(B\cup C)\)

  • \((A\cup B)=A/B\)
  • \(A/B=B/C\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (B): \((A/B)/C=A/(B\cup C)\)

We know that if \(A\cup B=A\cup C\) and \(A\cap B=A\cap C\), then B=C which gives A\(\subset\)C

Hence, (A/B)/C=A/(BC)

Operations on Sets

Some important operations on sets include union, intersection, difference, and the complement of a set, a brief explanation of operations on sets is as follows:

1. Union of Sets:

  • The union of sets lists the elements in set A and set B or the elements in both set A and set B.
  • For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {1, 3, 4}
  • It is denoted as “A U B”

2. Intersection of Sets:

  • Intersection of sets lists the common elements in set A and B.
  • For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {4}
  • It is denoted as “A ∩ B”

3.Set Difference:

  • Set difference is the list of elements in set A which is not present in set B
  • For example, {3,4} - {1, 4} = {3}
  • It is denoted as “A - B”

4.Set Complement:

  • The set complement is the list of all elements present in the Universal set except the elements present in set A
  • It is denoted as “U-A”
