Question
Find sets A, B and C such that $\text{A}\cap\text{B},\text{ A}\cap\text{C and B}\cap\text{C}$ are non-empty sets and $\text{A}\cap\text{B}\cap\text{C}=\phi.$

Answer

To find sets A, B and C such that $\text{A}\cap\text{B}\not=\phi,\ \text{A}\cap\text{C}=\phi$ and $\text{B}\cap\text{C}=\phi,\text{ and }\text{A}\cap\text{B}\cap\text{C}=\phi$ Take $\text{A} = \{1, 2, 3\}$ $\text{B} = \{2, 4, 6\}$ and $\text{C} = \{3, 4, 7\}$ Then, $\text{A}\cap\text{B}=\{2\}$ $\therefore\text{A}\cap\text{B}\not=\phi$ $\text{A}\cap\text{C}=\{3\}$ $\therefore\text{A}\cap\text{C}\not=\phi$ $\text{B}\cap\text{C}=\{4\}$ $\therefore\text{B}\cap\text{C}\not=\phi$ However A, B and C have no elements in common, $\therefore\text{A}\cap\text{B}\not=\phi.$
