Question

State True or False for the following statement.

If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4} and C = {4, 5, 6}, then (A × B) ∪ (A × C) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is True.

Explanation:

Given that: A = {1, 2, 3}

B = {3, 4}

And C = {4, 5, 6}

A × B = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 3), (3, 4)}

And A × C = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}

(A × B) ∪ (A × C) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
