  • Question
  • If A = {a, b}, B = {2, 3, 5, 6, 7} and C = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, find A × (B ? C).


  • Options
  • A. A
  • B. ?
  • C. {(5, a), (6, a), (7, a), (5, b), (6, b), (7, b)}
  • D. {(a, 5), (a, 6), (a, 7), (b, 5), (b, 6), (b, 7)}

  • Correct Answer
  • {(a, 5), (a, 6), (a, 7), (b, 5), (b, 6), (b, 7)} 

    Explanation

    We have,
    (B ? C) = {2, 3, 5, 6, 7} ? {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
    = {5, 6, 7}
    ? A × (B ? C) = {a, b} × {5, 6, 7}
    = {(a, 5), (a, 6), (a, 7), (b, 5), (b, 6), (b, 7)}.
