Solution and Explanation

(i) \(A ∩B \)= {7, 9, 11}


(ii) \(B ∩C\) = {11, 13}


(iii) \(A ∩C ∩D = \)\(A ∩C\)\(∩D\) = {11} \(\cap\){15, 17} = \(\phi\)


(iv) \(A ∩C =\) {11}


(v) \(B ∩D = \phi\)


(vi) \(A ∩(B ∪ C) = (A ∩B) (A ∩C)\)
= {7, 9, 11} {11} = {7, 9, 11}


(vii) \(A\cap D = \phi\)


(viii) \(A ∩(B ∪ D) = (A ∩B) (A ∩D)\)
= {7, 9, 11} Φ= {7, 9, 11}


(ix) \((A ∩B) ∩(B ∪ C) =\) {7, 9, 11}\(\cap\){7, 9, 11, 13, 15} = {7, 9, 11}


(x) \((A ∪ D) ∩(B ∪ C)\) = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17) \(\cap\){7, 9, 11, 13, 15}
= {7, 9, 11, 15}

Operations on Sets

Some important operations on sets include union, intersection, difference, and the complement of a set, a brief explanation of operations on sets is as follows:

1. Union of Sets:

  • The union of sets lists the elements in set A and set B or the elements in both set A and set B.
  • For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {1, 3, 4}
  • It is denoted as “A U B”

2. Intersection of Sets:

  • Intersection of sets lists the common elements in set A and B.
  • For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {4}
  • It is denoted as “A ∩ B”

3.Set Difference:

  • Set difference is the list of elements in set A which is not present in set B
  • For example, {3,4} - {1, 4} = {3}
  • It is denoted as “A - B”

4.Set Complement:

  • The set complement is the list of all elements present in the Universal set except the elements present in set A
  • It is denoted as “U-A”
