Visualized Solution (English)
Visualizing the Universal Set
- Let U be the Universal set.
- Let X and Y be two subsets of U.
- The circles represent the elements belonging to each set.
Defining the Union X∪Y
- The union X∪Y consists of all elements in X, Y, or both.
- Visually, it is the total area covered by both circles.
Finding the Complement (X∪Y)c
- The complement (X∪Y)c contains elements in U that are NOT in X∪Y.
- By De Morgan's Law: (X∪Y)c=Xc∩Yc.
The Intersection X∩(X∪Y)c
- We need to find the common elements between X and (X∪Y)c.
- Since (X∪Y)c is strictly outside X, there are no common elements.
Final Result: The Null Set ϕ
- X∩(X∪Y)c=X∩(Xc∩Yc)
- Using associative law: (X∩Xc)∩Yc
- Since X∩Xc=ϕ, we get ϕ∩Yc=ϕ.
- The correct option is (2).
