Question -

If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4} and C = {4, 5, 6}, find
(i) A x (B ∩ C)
(ii) (A x B) ∩ (A x C)
(iii) A x (B ∪ C)
(iv) (A x B) ∪ (A x C)



Answer -

Given:
A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4} and C = {4, 5, 6}
(i) A × (B ∩ C)
(B ∩ C) = {4}
A × (B ∩ C) = {1, 2, 3} × {4}
= {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}

(ii) (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
(A × B) = {1, 2, 3} × {3, 4}
= {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 3), (3, 4)}
(A × C) = {1, 2, 3} × {4, 5, 6}
= {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
(A × B) ∩ (A × C) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}

(iii) A × (B ∪ C)
(B ∪ C) = {3, 4, 5, 6}
A × (B ∪ C) = {1, 2, 3} × {3, 4, 5, 6}
= {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}

(iv) (A × B) ∪ (A × C)
(A × B) = {1, 2, 3} × {3, 4}
= {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 3), (3, 4)}
(A × C) = {1, 2, 3} × {4, 5, 6}
= {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
(A × B) ∪ (A × C) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
