Solution and Explanation

Let \(A ⊂ B \)
To show: \(C – B ⊂ C – A \)
Let \(x ∈ C – B \)
\(⇒ x ∈ C\) and \(x ∉ B \)
\(⇒ x ∈ C \) and \(x ∉ A [A ⊂ B] \)
\(⇒ x ∈ C – A \)
\(∴ C – B ⊂ C – A\)

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”
