Question

lf A= {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21} , B={4, 8, 12, 16, 20 }, C={2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16} D={5, 10, 15, 20}; Find B - D

Answer 1

concept :- A - B shows the relative complement of the set, which represents members of set A which are not part of set B. see figure , here shaded region is shown, this shaded region indicates A - B.

here, A= {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21},
B={4, 8, 12, 16, 20 },
C={2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16},
D={5, 10, 15, 20}.

so, B - D = {4 ,8 , 12, 16, 20} - {5, 10, 15, 20}
here , you can see that 20 is present in both the sets. so, B - D won't contain 20 and will contain rest elements of B.

hence, B - D = {4, 8, 12, 16} .

Answer 2

Solution :

Given B = { 4,8,12,16,20 }

D = { 5,10,15,20 }

B-D = {x:x€B and x doesn't belongs to D}

= { 4,8,12,16,20 } - { 5,10,15,20 }

= { 4,8,12,16 }
