Question:

If the sets A and B are as follows : A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, then

Updated On: Jul 6, 2022
  • A - B = {1, 2}
  • B - A = {5}
  • [(A - B) - (B - A)] $\cap$ A = {1, 2}
  • [(A - B) - (B - A)] $\cup$ A = {3, 4}

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6} $\therefore$ A - B = {1, 2} and B - A = {5, 6} and [(A - B) - (B - A)] $\cap$ A = [{1, 2} - {5, 6}] \cap {1, 2, 3, 4} = $\phi \, \, \cap$ {1, 2, 3, 4} = $\phi$

Concepts Used:

Sets

Set is the collection of well defined objects. Sets are represented by capital letters, eg. A={}. Sets are composed of elements which could be numbers, letters, shapes, etc.

Example of set: Set of vowels A={a,e,i,o,u}

Representation of Sets

There are three basic notation or representation of sets are as follows:

Statement Form: The statement representation describes a statement to show what are the elements of a set.

  • For example, Set A is the list of the first five odd numbers.

Roster Form: The form in which elements are listed in set. Elements in the set is seperatrd by comma and enclosed within the curly braces.

  • For example represent the set of vowels in roster form.

A={a,e,i,o,u}

Set Builder Form: 

  1. The set builder representation has a certain rule or a statement that specifically describes the common feature of all the elements of a set.
  2. The set builder form uses a vertical bar in its representation, with a text describing the character of the elements of the set.
  3. For example, A = { k | k is an even number, k ≤ 20}. The statement says, all the elements of set A are even numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
  4. Sometimes a ":" is used in the place of the "|".
