57. (i) We know that,

A A

(A B) A

[A (A B)] (A)

[A (A B)] A

and also

A [A (A B)]

So, A (A B) = A.

 

(ii) A (A B) = (A A) (A B) [By distributive law]

= A (A B)

= A as (A B) A

56. Here,

(AB) (A - B) = (AB) (A B') as (A -  B) = A B'

= A (B B') [ by converse of distributive law]

= A U [ B B' = U, sample space set or universal set]

= A

And (A (B - A) = A (B A') [as B -  A = B A']

= (AB) (AA')

= (AB) U [ AA' = U, universal set]

= A B.

55. Let A = {a}, B = {b}.

So, P (A) =  {? , {a}}B (A)= {? , (b}}

So, P (A) P {B} =  {? , {a}, {b}} ______ (1)

Now, AB = {a, b}.

P (AB) =  {? , {a}, {b}, {a, b}} ____ (2)

So. From (1) and (2) we see that,

P (A) P (B) ≠P (AB)

54. Given, P (A) = P (B) where P is power set

Let xA.

Then, {x} P (A) P (B)

i.e., x B

A B

Similarly, B A

A = B

53. Given, A B.

Let x C - B then x C but XB .

However, A B, elements of B should have elements of A

i.e., XB xA

So, x C A i.e., x C but XA

C - B C-  A

52. (i) Let A-  B≠? , our assumption.

i.e., x A But x≠ B where x is an element.

But as A B, the above condition of assumption is wrong if A B then A -  B =?

(ii) Let x A.

As A - B =? we can say that x B because if xB, A - B ≠?

if A - B =? then A B.

(iii) We know that,

B A B always true

Let xAB i.e., x A or x B.

As A B,

If x A then x B, all elements of A are among the elements of B

So, (AB) = B

(iv) We know that,

(A B) A as A B.

Let x A then x B

So, x (A B)

i.e., A (A B)

So, A = (A B)

Hence, A B

A - B = ?.

A B = B

A B = A.

i.e., the 4 conditions are equivalent.

51. Let xb

As B A B we can write

Let x A B.

as A B = A C.

x A C.

i.e., x A or x C

when x A, and x B,

x A B

But A B = A C

So, x A C

i.e., x A and x C

x C

when, x C

as x B and x C

So, B C

Similarly, C B

So, B = C

50. (i) False Let A = {a}, a A then B = {a}, b} I e,  a∈B.

(ii) False. Let A. = {a}, if A B, B = {a, b} and B C I e, C = {a, b}, c} I e, A = {a}. C.

(iii) True. Let xA, if A B then xB and if B C, x C I e, elements of A are also elements of C. A C.

(iv) False. Let A = {a} and B = {b} then AB . Let C = {a, c} then B but a A and a c, i.e., A C.

(v) False. Let A = {a} and B = {b} so, AB i.e., AB .

(vi) True. Let A B such that y B i.e., y A But xB and suppose xA.

Then by above definition,  A B i.e., x B and x A which is not the case

49. A = {x: xR and x satisfy x2 - 8x + 12 = 0}

So, x2 - 8x + 12 = 0

x2 - 6x 2x + 12 = 0

x (x- 6) 2 (x -6) = 0

(x -6) (x- 2) = 0

x = 6, 2.

So, A = {2, 6) B = {2, 4, 6} C = {2, 4, 6, 8, ….}

D = {6}

D⊂ A ⊂B ⊂C

i e, D ⊂A, D⊂ B, D⊂ C, A⊂ B, A ⊂C and B⊂ C.

47. Let C and T be the set of people who likes cricket and tennis respectively. Then,

n (C) = 40, people who likes cricket

n (C T) = 65, people who likes either cricket or tennis

and n (C T) = 10, people who likes both

So, n (C T) = n (C) + n (T) n (C T)

65 = 40 + n (T) 10

n (T) = 35

So, 35 people likes tennis

And number of people who likes tennis only and not cricket

(TC) = n (T) n (C T) = 35 10 = 25.
