MCQ
For any two sets A and $\text{B, A - B}\cup\text{B}=\text{A}=$
  • A
    $\text{(A - B)}\cup\text{A}$
  • B
    $\text{(B - A)}\cup\text{B}$
  • C
    $\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}-\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}$
  • D
    $\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}\cap\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}.$

Answer

  1. $\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}-\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}.$

Solution:

$\text{(A}-\text{B)}\cup\text{(B}-\text{A)}=\text{(A}\cap\text{B}')\cup\text{(B}\cap\text{A}')$

$=[\text{A}\cup\text{(B}\cup\text{A}')]\cap[\text{B}'\cup\text{(B}\cap\text{A}')]$ [Using distribution law]

$=[\text{(A}\cup\text{B})\cap\text{(A}\cup\text{A}')]\cap[\text{(B}'\cup\text{B})\cap\text{(B}'\cup\text{A}')]$ [Using distribution law]

$=[\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}\cup\text{(U)}]\cap[\text{(U)}\cap\text{(B}'\cup\text{A}')]$ $[\text{A}\cup\text{A'= U = B}'\cup\text{B}]$

$=[\text{A}\cup\text{B}]\cap[\text{B}'\cup\text{A}']$ $\begin{bmatrix}\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}\cap\text{(U)}=\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}\\\text{ and (U)}\cap\text{(B}'\cup\text{A)}'=\text{(B}'\cup\text{A}')]\end{bmatrix}$

$=[\text{A}\cup\text{B}]\cap[\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}']$ $[\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}'=\text{B}'\cup\text{A}']$

$=[\text{A}\cup\text{B}]\cap[\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}-\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}]$

$=[\text{(A}\cup\text{B)}-\text{(A}\cap\text{B)}].$
