Question 11 Mark

Using properties of sets, show that: $A \cap (A \cup B) = A$

Answer

We know that if $A \subset B$ then
$A \cap B = A$
Also $A \subset A \cup B$
$\therefore A \cap (A \cup B) = A$

Question 21 Mark

Using properties of set, show that: $A \cup (A \cap B) = A$

Answer

We know that if $A \subset B$ then
$A \cap B = B$
Also $A \cap B \subset A$
$\therefore A \cup (A \cap B) = A$

Question 31 Mark

Show that if $A \subset B$ then $C - B \subset C - A.$

Answer

Let $x \in C - B \Rightarrow x \in C$ and $x \notin B$
$\Rightarrow x \in C$ and $x \notin A$ $[\because A \subset B]$
$\Rightarrow x \in C - A$ Hence $C - B \subset C - A.$

Question 41 Mark

Show that $A \cap B = A \cap C$ need not imply B = C.

Answer

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} , B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {2, 3, 4, 9, 10}
$\therefore A \cap B$= {1, 2, 3, 4} $ \cap $ {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
= {2,3, 4}
$A \cap C$= {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {2, 3, 4, 9, 10}
= {2, 3, 4}
$A \cap C$= {1, 2, 3, 4} $ \cap $ {2, 3, 4, 9, 10}
= {2, 3, 4}
Now we have $A \cap B = A \cap C$
But $B \ne C$

Question 51 Mark

Let U be the set of all triangles in a plane. If A is the set of all triangles with at least one angle different from 60° what is ${A'}$?

Answer

Here U = {x : x is a triangle}
A = {x : x is a triangle and has at least one angle different from 60°}
$\therefore A' = U - A = ${x : x is a triangle} - {x : x is a triangle and has atleast one angle different from 60°}
= {x : x is a triangle and has all angles equal to 60°}
= Set of all equilateral triangles.

$\therefore A \cap B = \{ 1,2,3,4\} \cap \{ 4,5,6\}$
= {4}
Hence A and B are not disjoint.

Question 461 Mark

If A = {x : x is a natural number}, B = {x : x is an even natural number}, C = {x : x is an odd natural number} and D = {x : x is a prime number}, find: $C \cap D$

Answer

Here A = {x : x is a natural number} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .}
B = { x : x is an even natural number} = {2, 4, 6, . . . }
C = {x : x is an odd natural number} = {1, 3, 5, 7, . . .}
and D = {x : x is a prime nmber} = {2, 3, 5, 7. . . . }

$C \cap D$ = {x : x is an odd natural number} $ \cap ${x : x is a prime number}
= {x : x is an odd prime number}

Question 471 Mark

If A = {x : x is a natural number}, B = {x : x is an even natural number}, C = {x : x is an odd natural number} and D = {x : x is a prime number}, find: $B \cap D$

Answer

$B \cap D$ = {x : x is an even natural number) $ \cap ${x : x is a prime number}
= {2}

Question 481 Mark

If A = {x : x is a natural number}, B = {x : x is an even natural number}, C = {x : x is an odd natural number} and D = {x : x is a prime number}, find: $B \cap C$

Answer

$B \cap C$= {x : x is an even natural number} $ \cap${x : x is an odd natural number}
$ = \phi $

Question 491 Mark

If A = {x : x is a natural number}, B = {x : x is an even natural number}, C = {x : x is an odd natural number} and D = {x : x is a prime number}, find: $A \cap D$

Answer

$A \cap D$= {x : x is a natural number) $ \cap${x : x is a prime number}
= {x : x is a prime number}
= D

Question 501 Mark

If A = {x : x is a natural number}, B = {x : x is an even natural number}, C = {x : x is an odd natural number} and D = {x : x is a prime number}, find: $A \cap C$

Answer

$A \cap C$ = {x : x is a natural number} $ \cap ${x : x is an odd natural number}
= { x : x is an odd natural number }
= C
