ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

JKAMPLEI Consider the following set

0.A=(1, 2), B=(1, 4, 81, C=(1, 2,4, 6, 8]
Insert the correct symbol cor d betueen each of the
() ...B (ii) A... B (iii) A...C
following pair of sets:
SOLUTION (iv) B... C
(i) Since null set is subset of
every set.
CB
(i1) Clearly, 2e Abut 2e B. So, A¢ B.
(iii) Since all elements of set Aare in Cand A# C.
So, AcC.
(iv) Clearly, all elements of set Bare in set Cand B+ C.
So, BcC.
EKAMPLE2 Let A = la, b,c, d), B = la, b, c) and C= (b, d). Find allsets Xsuch that :
(i) XCB and Xc C (ii) XcA and Xa B.
SOLUTION We have,
0) P (A) = (o. la), (b), (c), ....
P (B) = (, (a),{b), (c), la, b), la,cl, (b, c, la,b, c))
and, P (C) = (o, (b), (a), (b, d))
Now, XCB and XcC
Xe P(B) and Xe P(C).
X = 0, (b]
() We have,
XcA and X ¢ B
X is asubset of Abut X is not a subset of B
Xe P(A) but X P (B)
X = (d), (a, b, d), (b,c, d), (a,c, d), (a, d), (b, d), (c, d), la, b, c, dy.
EXAMPLE3 Let A, Band Cbe three sets. If Ae Band BcC, is it true tat AcC? If not give
an example.
SOLUTION Consider the following sets:
A= (a), B= la), b) and C=(la), b, c}.
Clearly, AeBand BcC. But, Aa Cas ae A but ae C.
Thus, the given statement is not true.
PLE4 LetA = (1, 2, 3, 4), BB
