• Exercise 1.4 of Sets

The exercise carries a total of 12 questions, and each of them is designed to test your familiarity with the operations of sets.

To refresh your memory, these are the operations that you need to know in details to offer the accurate step by step solution for each question –

i. Union of Sets – In this case, the union of two sets (A and B) would consist of all the elements of both sets. The union between the two sets is denoted by the symbol ‘U’.

Also, the operation of the union has these following properties –

• As per Commutative law, A ∪ B = B ∪ A ()

• As per Associative law, (A ∪ B) ∪ C = A ∪ ( B ∪ C) 

• As per the Law of identity element, φ is the identity of ∪ A ∪ φ = A 

• As per Idempotent law A ∪ A = A 

• As per Law of U (v) U ∪ A = U

ii. Intersections of Sets – In this case, the intersection of two sets (A and B) would consist of those elements that are common to both sets. An intersection between the two sets is denoted by the symbol ‘∩’

Also, operation of the intersection has these following properties –

• As per Commutative law, A ∩ B = B ∩ A.

• As per Associative law, (A ∩ B) ∩ C = A ∩ (B ∩ C).

• As per Law of φ and U, φ ∩ A = φ, U ∩ A = A (U).

• As per Idempotent law, A ∩ A = A 

• As per Distributive law, A ∩ ( B ∪ C ) = ( A ∩ B ) ∪ ( A ∩ C )

ii. The difference of Sets – In this case, the set elements which belong to A do not belong to B. The same would be denoted as A – B.

With the help of this information, you would be able to solve 12 questions of NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 1 Exercise 1.5 quickly and accurately. Also, a close reference to the solved exercises provided at the beginning of this exercise will help you understand how these laws are applied in each case. Simultaneously, follow the step by step problem-solving methods shown in our NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 1 Exercise 1.5 to understand the application of these laws better.
