Given:
- Two sets are given
(i) A∪(A∩B)
(ii) A∩(A∪B)
To Find:
- Using properties of sets show that
(i) A∪(A∩B) = A
(ii) A∩(A∪B) = A
Solution:
(i) A ∪ (A ∩ B) = A
L.H.S
⇒ A∪ ( A ∩ B)
Use distribution property
⇒ (A ∪ A) ∩ ( A ∪ B)
Use relation A ∪ A = A
⇒ (A) ∩ ( A ∪ B)
⇒ A
=R.H.S
Hence, A ∪ (A ∩ B) = A
(ii) A ∩ (A ∪ B) = A
L.H.S
⇒ A ∩ (A ∪ B)
Using distribution property we get
⇒ (A ∩ A) ∪ (A ∩ B)
Use relation A ∩ A = A
⇒ (A ∩ A) ∪ (A ∩ B)
⇒ A ∪ (A ∩ B)
⇒ A
R.H.S
Hence, A ∩ (A ∪ B) = A
