Q2: Given

                    A = Set of first 5 prime numbers

                    B = Set of first 5 natural numbers

                    C = Set of first 5 odd natural numbers



(i)                 Write the given sets A, B and C into Tabular form.            

(ii)               Use the above sets A, B and C to verify the identity  

                                              (A – B) – C = (A – C) – B

Solution:            

(i) write the given sets A, B and C into Tabular form

A= {1, 2, 3, 5, 7}

B= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

C= {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}

(ii) Use the sets A, B and C to verify the identity

(A – B) – C = (A – C) – B

A={1,2,3,5,7}

B={1,2,3,4,5}

C={1,3,5,7,9}

A-B= {1, 2, 3, 5, 7}-{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

     = {5, 7}

(A – B) – C = {5, 7}-{1, 3,5 ,7,9}

               = {  }  ...................... (1)

(A – C) ={1,2,3,5,7} - {1,3,5,7,9}

          = {2}

(A – C) – B= {2} - {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

              = {  } ........................ (2

(A – B) – C = (A – C) – B

               {  }={  }

So (A – B) – C = (A – C) – B.
