58. Let A = {a}, B = {a, b}, C = {a, c}
So, AB = {a} {a, b} = {a}
AC = {a} {a, c} = {a}
i.e., AB = AC = {a}
But B ≠C. as bB but vice-versa
57. Using properties of sets, show that
(i) A ( A B ) = A
(ii) A (A B) = A
57. Using properties of sets, show that
(i) A ( A B ) = A
(ii) A (A B) = A
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. Show that for any sets A and B, A = ( A B ) ( A – B ) and A ( B – A ) = ( A B )
56. Show that for any sets A and B, A = ( A B ) ( A – B ) and A ( B – A ) = ( A B )
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. Is it true that for any sets A and B, P (A) P(B) = P (A B) ? Justify your answer.
55. Is it true that for any sets A and B, P (A) P(B) = P (A B) ? Justify your answer.
55. Let A = {a}, B = {b}.
So, P (A) =
So, P (A) P {B} = ______ (1)
Now, AB = {a, b}.
P (AB) = ____ (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 X
However, A
i.e., X
So, x
C - B
52. Show that the following four conditions are equivalent :
(i) A ⊂ B (ii) A – B = ? (iii) A ∪ B = B (iv) A ∩ B = A
52. Show that the following four conditions are equivalent :
(i) A
52. (i) Let A- B≠
i.e., x
But as A B, the above condition of assumption is wrong if A
(ii) Let x
As A - B =
if A - B =
(iii) We know that,
B
Let x
51. Let A, B, and C be the sets such that A ∪ B = A ∪ C and A ∩ B = A ∩ C. Show that B = C.
51. Let A, B, and C be the sets such that A
51. Let x
As B
Let x
as A
x
i.e., x
when x
x
But A
So, x
i.e., x
x
when, x
as x
So, B
Similarly, C
So, B = C
50. In each of the following, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, prove it. If it is false, give an example.
(i) If x ∈ A and A ∈ B, then x ∈ B
(ii) If A ⊂ B and B ∈ C, then A ∈ C
(iii) If A ⊂ B and B ⊂ C , then A ⊂ C
(iv) If A ⊄ B and B ⊄ C, then A ⊄ C
(v) If x ∈ A and A ⊄ B , then x ∈ B
(vi) If A ⊂ B and x ∈ B , then x ∉ A
50. In each of the following, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, prove it. If it is false, give an example.
(i) If x
(ii) If A
(iii) If A
(iv) If A
(v) If x
(vi) If A
50. (i) False Let A = {a}, a
(ii) False. Let A. = {a}, if A
(iii) True. Let x
(iv) False. Let A = {a} and B = {b} th
Miscellaneous Exercise Chapter 1 Solutions
49. Decide, among the following sets, which sets are subsets of one and another:
A = { x: x ∈ R and x satisfy x2– 8x + 12 = 0 }, B = { 2, 4, 6 }, C = { 2, 4, 6, 8, . . . }, D = { 6 }.
Miscellaneous Exercise Chapter 1 Solutions
49. Decide, among the following sets, which sets are subsets of one and another:
A = { x: x
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.
