58. Let A = {a}, B = {a, b}, C = {a, c}

So, A∩B = {a} ∩ {a, b} = {a}

A∩C = {a} ∩ {a, c} = {a}

i.e., A∩B = A∩C = {a}

But B ≠C. as b∈B but b≠C vice-versa

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,

(A∩B)∪ (A - B) = (A∩B)∪ (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’]

= (A∪B) ∩ (A∪A’)

= (A∪B)∩ U [ A∪A’ = 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, A∪B = {a, b}.

P (A∪B) =  {? , {a},   {b},   {a,  b}} ____ (2)

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

P (A)∪ P (B) ≠P (A∪B)

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

Let x∈A.

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∉B .

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

i.e., X∉B x∉A

So, x ∈C A i.e., x∈ C but X∉A

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 x∈B, A - B ≠?

if A - B =? then A ⊂B.

(iii) We know that,

B ⊂A∪ B always true

Let x∈A∪B i.e.,

51. Let x∈b

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 x∈A, if A⊂ B then x∈B 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} th

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.
