Q173 / 270 · NDA 2017 (Phase 1) · Mathematics
Consider the following in respect of sets A and B :
1. $(\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B}) \cup \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{A}$
2. $(\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B}) \cup \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{A}$
3. $(A-B) \cap B=\phi$
4. $A \subseteq B \Rightarrow A \cup B=B$
Which of the above are correct?
- A1,2 and 3
- Correct answerB2,3 and 4
- C1,3 and 4
- D1,2 and 4
Solution
Venn diagram

from, Venn diagram we can observe that $\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B}$ is the shaded part. $\begin{aligned} & (A-B) \cup A=A \\ & (A-B) \cap B=\phi \\ & A \subseteq B \Rightarrow A \cup B=B \end{aligned}$

from, Venn diagram we can observe that $\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B}$ is the shaded part. $\begin{aligned} & (A-B) \cup A=A \\ & (A-B) \cap B=\phi \\ & A \subseteq B \Rightarrow A \cup B=B \end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
