Question
Consider a general set, A, which is a subset of a general set, Ω. Suppose also that B is the complement of A, i.e. B=Ac=Ω∖A.Next let C be a subset of A (i.e. C⊆A) and D be a subset of B (i.e. D⊆B).Tick the most appropriate answer:B∖D=DA∖C=AA∪A=AAll of the above
Solution
The correct answer is A∪A=A.
Here's why:
-
B\D=D: This is not correct. B\D represents all elements that are in B but not in D. Since D is a subset of B, B\D could be an empty set if D=B, but it will not be D.
-
A\C=A: This is not correct. A\C represents all elements that are in A but not in C. Since C is a subset of A, A\C could be an empty set if C=A, but it will not be A.
-
A∪A=A: This is correct. The union of a set with itself is always the set itself.
So, the most appropriate answer is A∪A=A.
