### Exercise 1.4

1. Find the union of each of the following pairs of sets.

(i)${\mathbf{x}} = \{ {\mathbf{1}},{\mathbf{3}},{\mathbf{5}}\} {\text{ }}{\mathbf{Y}} = \{ {\mathbf{1}},{\mathbf{2}},{\mathbf{3}}\}$

Ans: $X = \{ 1,3,5\} Y = \{ 1,2,3\}$

$X \cup Y = \{ 1,2,3,5\}$

(ii) ${\mathbf{A}} = {\text{ }}\left\{ {{\mathbf{a}},{\text{ }}{\mathbf{e}},{\text{ }}{\mathbf{i}},{\text{ }}{\mathbf{o}},{\text{ }}{\mathbf{u}}} \right\}{\text{ }}{\mathbf{B}} = {\text{ }}\left\{ {{\mathbf{a}},{\text{ }}{\mathbf{b}},{\text{ }}{\mathbf{c}}} \right\}$

Ans: $A = \{ a,e,i,o,u\} B = \{ a,b,c\}$

$A \cup B = \{ a,b,c,e,i,o,u\}$

(iii) A= {x. x is a natural number and multiple of 3$\}$

Ans: $A = \{ x:x$ is a natural number and multiple of 3$\} = \{ 3,6,9 \ldots \}$

As $B = \{ x:x$ is a natural number less than 6$\} = \{ 1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

$A \cup B = \{ 1,2,4,5,3,6,9,12 \ldots \}$

$\therefore A \cup B = \{ x:x = 1,2,4,5$ or a multiple of 3$\}$

(iv) A= {x : x is a natural number and $1 < x \leqslant 6\} = \{ 2,3,4,5,6\}$

$B = \{ x:x$ is a natural number and $6 < x < 10\} = \{ 7,8,9\}$

Ans: $A \cup B = \{ 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$

$\therefore A \cup B = \{ x:x \in N$ and $1 < x < 10\}$

(v) $A = \{ 1,2,3\} ,B = \phi$

Ans: $A = \{ 1,2,3\} ,B = \phi$

$A \cup B = \{ 1,2,3\}$

2. Let $A = \{ a,b\} ,B = \{ a,b,c\} .$ Is $A \subset B?$ What is $A \cup B$ ?

Ans: Here, $A = \{ a,b\}$ and $B = \{ a,b,c\}$

Yes, $A \subset B$

$A \cup B = \{ a,b,c\} = B$

3. If A and B are two sets such that $A \subset B$, then what is $A \cup B$?

Ans: If ${\text{A}}$ and ${\text{B}}$ are two sets such that $A \subset B$, then $A \cup B = B$.

(ii) $A = \{ a,e,i,o,u\} B = \{ a,b,c\}$

Ans: $A \cap B = \{ a\}$

(iii) $A = \{ x:x$ is a natural number and multiple of $3\}$

$B = \{ x:x$ is a natural number less than ${\mathbf{6}}$$\}$

(vii) $A \cap D$

Ans: $A \cap D = \emptyset$

(viii) $A \cap (B \cup D)$

8. Which of the following pairs of sets are disjoint

(i) $\{ 1,2,3,4\}$ and $\{ x:x$ is a natural number and $4 \leqslant x \leqslant 6\}$

Ans: $\{ 1,2,3,4\}$

$\{ x:x$ is a natural number and $4 \leqslant x \leqslant 6\} = \{ 4,5,6\}$

Now, $\{ 1,2,3,4\} \cap \{ 4,5,6\} = \{ 4\}$

Therefore, this pair of sets is not disjoint.

(ii) {a,e,I,o,u} and {c,d,e,f}

Therefore, $\{ a,e,i,o,u\}$ and $\{ c,d,e,f\}$ are not disjoint.

(iii) $\{ x:x$ is an even integer} and $\{ x:x$ is an odd integer}

Ans: $\{ x:x$ is an even integer $\} \cap \{ x:x$ is an odd integer $\} = \emptyset$

Therefore, this pair of sets is disjoint.

12. State whether each of the following statement is true or false. Justify you Ans:

(i) {2, 3, 4, 5} and {3, 6} are disjoint sets.

Ans: False

As $3 \in \{ 2,3,4,5\} ,3 \in \{ 3,6\}$

$\Rightarrow \{ 2,3,4,5\} \cap \{ 3,6\} = \{ 3\}$
