Let A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8}. Verify that:(i) A x C ⊂ B x D(ii) A x (B ∩ C) = (A x B) ∩ (A x C) |
Answer» Given as A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8} (i) A x C ⊂ B x D Let us consider the LHS A x C A × C = {1, 2} × {5, 6} = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6)} Then, RHS B × D = {1, 2, 3, 4} × {5, 6, 7, 8} = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (1, 7), (1, 8), (2, 5), (2, 6), (2, 7), (2, 8), (3, 5), (3, 6), (3, 7), (3, 8), (4, 5), (4, 6), (4, 7), (4, 8)} Here, all elements of A × C is in B × D. ∴We can say that A × C ⊂ B × D (ii) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C) Let us consider the LHS A × (B ∩ C) A × (B ∩ C) = {1, 2} × ∅ = ∅ Then, RHS (A × B) = {1, 2} × {1, 2, 3, 4} = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)} (A × C) = {1, 2} × {5, 6} = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6)} Here, there is no common element between A × B and A × C (A × B) ∩ (A × C) = ∅ Thus, A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C) |
