Consider the following statements in respect of the events AA, BB, CC :
I. (A∪B∪C)∩(A‾∩B‾∩C‾)(A\cup B\cup C)\cap(\overline{A}\cap\overline{B}\cap\overline{C}) is an impossible event.
II. (A∩B∩C)∩(A‾∪B‾∪C‾)(A\cap B\cap C)\cap(\overline{A}\cup\overline{B}\cup\overline{C}) is a possible event.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Options

  1. AI only
  2. BII only
  3. CBoth I and II
  4. DNeither I nor II

Correct answer

A. I only

Step-by-step solution

Using De Morgan's laws, we have A‾∩B‾∩C‾=A∪B∪C‾\overline{A}\cap\overline{B}\cap\overline{C} = \overline{A\cup B\cup C}.

Substituting this in the expression for Statement I:
(A∪B∪C)∩(A‾∩B‾∩C‾)=(A∪B∪C)∩(A∪B∪C)‾=ϕ(A\cup B\cup C)\cap(\overline{A}\cap\overline{B}\cap\overline{C}) = (A\cup B\cup C)\cap\overline{(A\cup B\cup C)} = \phi

Since the intersection of an event and its complement is the empty set ϕ\phi, it represents an impossible event. Thus, Statement I is correct.

Again, using De Morgan's laws, we have A‾∪B‾∪C‾=A∩B∩C‾\overline{A}\cup\overline{B}\cup\overline{C} = \overline{A\cap B\cap C}.

Substituting this in the expression for Statement II:
(A∩B∩C)∩(A‾∪B‾∪C‾)=(A∩B∩C)∩(A∩B∩C)‾=ϕ(A\cap B\cap C)\cap(\overline{A}\cup\overline{B}\cup\overline{C}) = (A\cap B\cap C)\cap\overline{(A\cap B\cap C)} = \phi

This is also an impossible event. Thus, Statement II is incorrect.

Therefore, only Statement I is correct.
