Answer» Commutative Property of union of sets (A ∪ B)’ = (B ∪ A) Here P = {3, 4, 5, 6}, Q = {√3, √5, √6} P ∪ Q = {3, 4, 5, 6} ∪ {√3, √5, √6} = {3, 4, 5, 6, √3, √5, √6} ... (1) Q ∪ P = {√3, √5, √6} ∪ {3, 4, 5, 6} = {√3, √5, √6, 3, 4, 5, 6} … (2) (1) = (2) ∴ P ∪ Q = Q ∪ P ∴ It is verified that union of sets is commutative. Commutative Property of intersection of sets (P ∩ Q) = (Q ∩ P) P ∩ Q = {3, 4, 5, 6} ∩ {√3, √5, √6} = { } … (1) Q ∩ P = {√3, √5, √6} ∩ {3, 4, 5, 6} = { } … (2) From (1) and (2) P ∩ Q = Q ∩ P ∴ It is verified that intersection of sets is commutative. |
