View full question & answer→Given: $\mathrm{A}=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$
and $B=\{2,3,4\}$
$C=\{2,4,5\}$
i. $A \subset B$
Since $1 \in A$ but $1 \notin B \Rightarrow A \not \subset C$
So, Flase
ii. $\mathrm{A} \subset \mathrm{C}$
Since $1 \in \mathrm{~A}$ but $1 \notin C \Rightarrow A \not \subset C$
So, False
iii. $B \subset A$
Since, every element of B is also element of A, So B $\subset A$.
it is true statement
iv. $\mathrm{B} \subset \mathrm{C}$
Since $3 \in \mathrm{~B}$ but $3 \notin C \Rightarrow B \not \subset C$
So, False
v. C $\subset A$
Since every element of set $C$ is also element of set $A$, So $C \subset A$.
Therefore, It is true statement.
vi. $C \subset B$
Since $5 \in \mathrm{C}$ but $5 \notin B \Rightarrow C \not \subset B$
So, False
vii. B = C
Since $3 \in \mathrm{~B}$ but $3 \not \subset C \Rightarrow B \neq C$
So, False
viii. $\phi \subset \mathrm{B}$
We know that empty set is always subset of every set.
$\therefore \phi \subset \mathrm{B}$
Therefore, it is true statement
ix. False
x. False
xi. False
and $B=\{2,3,4\}$
$C=\{2,4,5\}$
i. $A \subset B$
Since $1 \in A$ but $1 \notin B \Rightarrow A \not \subset C$
So, Flase
ii. $\mathrm{A} \subset \mathrm{C}$
Since $1 \in \mathrm{~A}$ but $1 \notin C \Rightarrow A \not \subset C$
So, False
iii. $B \subset A$
Since, every element of B is also element of A, So B $\subset A$.
it is true statement
iv. $\mathrm{B} \subset \mathrm{C}$
Since $3 \in \mathrm{~B}$ but $3 \notin C \Rightarrow B \not \subset C$
So, False
v. C $\subset A$
Since every element of set $C$ is also element of set $A$, So $C \subset A$.
Therefore, It is true statement.
vi. $C \subset B$
Since $5 \in \mathrm{C}$ but $5 \notin B \Rightarrow C \not \subset B$
So, False
vii. B = C
Since $3 \in \mathrm{~B}$ but $3 \not \subset C \Rightarrow B \neq C$
So, False
viii. $\phi \subset \mathrm{B}$
We know that empty set is always subset of every set.
$\therefore \phi \subset \mathrm{B}$
Therefore, it is true statement
ix. False
x. False
xi. False
