If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4}, C = {5}, then verify that:
$\text{A}\times(\text{B}-\text{C})=(\text{A}\times\text{B})-(\text{A}\times\text{C})$

Answer
We have,
$\text{A}=\{1,2,3\},\text{ B}=\{4\}$ and $\text{C}=\{5\}$
$\therefore\ \text{B}-\text{C}=\{4\}$
$\therefore\ \text{A}\times(\text{B}-\text{C})=\{1,2,3\}\times\{4\}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}\times(\text{B}-\text{C})=\{(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)\}\ ...(\text{i})$
Now,
$\text{A}\times\text{B}=\{1, 2, 3\}\times\{4\}$
$=\{(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)\}$
and, $\text{A}\times\text{C}=\{1,2,3\}\times\{5\}$
$=\{(1, 5) , (2, 5), (3, 5)\}$
$\therefore\ (\text{A}\times\text{B})-(\text{A}\times\text{C})=\{(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)\}\ ...(\text{ii})$
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
$\text{A}\times (\text{B}-\text{C})=(\text{A}\times\text{B})-(\text{A}\times\text{C})$
Hence verified.
