Let A,BA, B and CC be sets such that ϕ≠A∩B⊆C.ϕ \ne A \cap B ⊆ C . Then which of the following statements is not true?Let A, B and C be sets such that ϕ ≠ A B ⊆ C . Then which of the following statements is not true?

Options

  1. AB∩C≠ϕB \cap C \ne ϕ
  2. B(C∪A)∩(C∪B)=C( C \cup A ) \cap ( C \cup B ) = C
  3. CIf (A−B)⊆C,( A - B ) ⊆ C, then A⊆CA ⊆ C
  4. DIf (A−C)⊆B,( A - C ) ⊆ B, then A⊆BA ⊆ B

Correct answer

D. If (A−C)⊆B,( A - C ) ⊆ B, then A⊆BA ⊆ B

Step-by-step solution

Let A, B and C be sets such that ϕ ≠ A B ⊆ C . Then which of the following statements is not true?
For A=C,A−C=ϕA = C, A - C = ϕ
⇒ϕ⊆B⇒ ϕ ⊆ B
But A⊈BA ⊈ B
Hence, If (A−C)⊆B,( A - C ) ⊆ B, then A⊆BA ⊆ B is not true
Let x \in C, ⇒ x \in \left(C \cup A\right) \cap \left(C \cup B\right)<br/><br />⇒ x \in \left(C \cup A\right)andandx \in \left(C \cup B\right)<br/><br />⇒ ( x \in Cororx \in A )andand( x \in Cororx \in B )<br/><br />⇒ x \in Cororx \in \left(A \cap B\right)
⇒x∈C⇒ x \in C or x∈C(asA∪B⊆C)x \in C \left(asA \cup B ⊆ C\right)
⇒x∈C⇒ x \in C
⇒(C∪A)∩(C∪B)⊆C⇒ \left(C \cup A\right) \cap \left(C \cup B\right) ⊆ C .... (i)
Now x∈C⇒x∈(C∪A)x \in C ⇒ x \in \left(C \cup A\right) and x \in \left(C \cup B\right)<br/><br />⇒ x \in ( C \cup A ) \cap \left(C \cup B\right)<br/><br />⇒ C ⊆ ( C \cup A ) \cap \left(C \cup B\right) ..... (ii)
⇒⇒ From (i) and (ii)
C = \left(C \cup A\right) \cap \left(C \cup B\right)<br/>Hence,<br />Hence,( C \cup A ) \cap ( C \cup B ) = Cistrue<br/>Letis true<br />Letx \in Aandandx \notin B<br/><br />⇒ x \in \left(A - B\right)
⇒x∈C(asA−B⊆C)⇒ x \in C \left(asA - B ⊆ C\right)
Let x∈Ax \in A and x∈Bx \in B
⇒x∈(A∩B)⇒ x \in \left(A \cap B\right)
⇒ x \in C \left(asA \cap B ⊆ C\right)<br/>Hence<br />Hencex \in A ⇒ x \in C<br/><br />⇒ A ⊆ C<br/>Hence,If<br />Hence, If( A - B ) ⊆ C,thenthenA ⊆ Cistrue<br/>asis true<br />asC ⊇ \left(A \cap B\right)<br/><br />⇒ B \cap C ⊇ \left(A \cap B\right)
as A∩B≠ϕA \cap B \ne ϕ
⇒B∩C≠ϕ⇒ B \cap C \ne ϕ
Hence, B∩C≠ϕB \cap C \ne ϕ is true

Alternate solution

Given~

ϕ≠A∩B⊆Cϕ \ne A \cap B ⊆ C

Let answer that

C={1,2,3,4,5,6}C = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\}

A={1,2,3}A = \left\{1, 2, 3\right\}

B={3,4,5}B = \left\{3, 4, 5\right\}

A∩B={3}A \cap B = \left\{3\right\}

Option (a)~

B∩C={3,4,5}≠ϕB \cap C = \left\{3, 4, 5\right\} \ne ϕ

Option (b)~C∪A={1,2,3,4,5,6}C \cup A = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\}

C∪B={1,2,3,4,5,6}C \cup B = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\}

\left(C \cup A\right) \cap \left(C \cup B\right) = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\} = C</p><p>Option(c) </p><p>Option (c)~A - B = \left\{1, 2, 3\right\} ⊆ CA ⊆ C True</p><p>Option(d) ~True</p><p>Option (d)~A - C = ϕ ⊆ BA ⊆ C Notcorrect</p><p>~Not correct</p><p>∴& Option (d) is correct&
