(i) A ∪ B
(ii) A ∪ C
(iii) B ∪ C
(iv) B ∪ D
(v) A ∪ B ∪ C
(vi) A ∪ B ∪ D
(vii) B ∪ C ∪ D
(viii) A ∩ (B ∪ C)
(ix) (A ∩ B) ∩ (B ∩ C)
(x) (A ∪ D) ∩ (B ∪ C).



Answer -

In general X ∪ Y = {a: a ∈ X or a ∈ Y}
X ∩ Y = {a: a ∈ X and a ∈ Y}.
(i) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
A ∪ B = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ B}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

(ii) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
A ∪ C = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ C}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}

(iii) B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
B ∪ C = {x: x ∈ B or x ∈ C}
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}

(iv) B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
D = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
B ∪ D = {x: x ∈ B or x ∈ D}
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}

(v) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
A ∪ B = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ B}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
A ∪ B ∪ C = {x: x ∈ A ∪ B or x ∈ C}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}

(vi) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
D = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
A ∪ B = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ B}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
A ∪ B ∪ D = {x: x ∈ A ∪ B or x ∈ D}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}

(vii) B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
D = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
B ∪ C = {x: x ∈ B or x ∈ C}
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
B ∪ C ∪ D = {x: x ∈ B ∪ C or x ∈ D}
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}

(viii) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
B ∪ C = {x: x ∈ B or x ∈ C}
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
A ∩ B ∪ C = {x: x ∈ A and x ∈ B ∪ C}
= {4, 5}

(ix) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
(A ∩ B) = {x: x ∈ A and x ∈ B}
= {4, 5}
(B ∩ C) = {x: x ∈ B and x ∈ C}
= {7, 8}
(A ∩ B) ∩ (B ∩ C) = {x: x ∈ (A ∩ B) and x ∈ (B ∩ C)}
= ϕ

(x) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
D = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
A ∪ D = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ D}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
B ∪ C = {x: x ∈ B or x ∈ C}
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
(A ∪ D) ∩ (B ∪ C) = {x: x ∈ (A ∪ D) and x ∈ (B ∪ C)}
= {4, 5, 10, 11}
