Other properties of Set Operations• Distributive Property A (B C) = (A B) (A C)

A (B C) = (A B) (A C)Examples:

1) Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A = {2, 3} and B = {3, 4, 5}. C= {4, 5}.


Other properties of Set Operations• De Morgan’s Law (A B)’ = A’ B’

(A B)’ = A’ B’Examples:

1) Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A = {2, 3} and B = {3, 4, 5}.

Show that (A B)∪ ' = A ' ∩ B'.


Solution :

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} A = {2, 3}

B = {3, 4, 5}

A B = {2, 3} {3, 4, 5} ∪ ∪= {2, 3, 4, 5}

(A B)∴ ∪ ' = {1, 6}

Also A ' = {1, 4, 5, 6}B ' = {1, 2, 6}

A∴ ' ∩ B' = {1, 4, 5, 6} ∩ {1, 2, 6} = {1, 6}

Hence (A B)∪ ' = A ' ∩ B'

Applications

• Draw the Venn diagram of the ff sets:Let U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} A = {0, 1, 2, 3} B = {2, 3, 4, 5} C = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
