You're absolutely right to question the AI's answer — and your analysis is spot on. Let's carefully go through the problem and verify which statements are actually true. --- Question:Which of the following is true? We are given four statements involving set operations: (i) $(A - B) - C = A - (C - B)$ (ii) $(A - B) - C = (A - C) - B$ (iii) $(A - B) - C = A - (B \cap C)$ (iv) $(A \cap B) - (B \cap C) = \{A - (A \cap C)\} - (A - B)$ We need to determine which of these are true. --- Step 1: Analyze (i) $(A - B) - C = A - (C - B)$ Let’s test with a counterexample. Let: $A = \{1, 2, 3\}$ $B = \{2\}$ $C = \{3\}$ Then: $A - B = \{1, 3\}$ $(A - B) - C = \{1, 3\} - \{3\} = \{1\}$ Now: $C - B = \{3\} - \{2\} = \{3\}$ $A - (C - B) = \{1, 2, 3\} - \{3\} = \{1, 2\}$ So LHS = $\{1\}$, RHS = $\{1, 2\}$ → Not equal ✅ So (i) is false --- Step 2: Analyze (ii) $(A - B) - C = (A - C) - B$ Let’s test with the same sets: $A = \{1, 2, 3\}$ $B = \{2\}$ $C = \{3\}$ LHS: $A - B = \{1, 3\}$ $(A - B) - C = \{1, 3\} - \{3\} = \{1\}$ RHS: $A - C = \{1, 2\}$ $(A - C) - B = \{1, 2\} - \{2\} = \{1\}$ So LHS = RHS = $\{1\}$ → Equal Let’s try another example to be sure. Let: $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}$ $B = \{2, 3\}$ $C = \{3, 4\}$ LHS: $A - B = \{1, 4\}$ $(A - B) - C = \{1, 4\} - \{3, 4\} = \{1\}$ RHS: $A - C = \{1, 2\}$ $(A - C) - B = \{1, 2\} - \{2, 3\} = \{1\}$ Again equal. Now, proof: We know: $X - Y = X \cap Y^c$ So: $(A - B) - C = (A \cap B^c) \cap C^c = A \cap B^c \cap C^c$ $(A - C) - B = (A \cap C^c) \cap B^c = A \cap B^c \cap C^c$ Same expression. ✅ So (ii) is true --- Step 3: Analyze (iii) $(A - B) - C = A - (B \cap C)$ Again, use the same example: $A = \{1, 2, 3\}$ $B = \{2\}$ $C = \{3\}$ LHS: $(A - B) - C = \{1, 3\} - \{3\} = \{1\}$ RHS: $B \cap C = \{2\} \cap \{3\} = \emptyset$ $A - (B \cap C) = A - \emptyset = A = \{1, 2, 3\}$ So LHS = $\{1\}$, RHS = $\{1, 2, 3\}$ → Not equal ✅ So (iii) is false --- Step 4: Analyze (iv) $(A \cap B) - (B \cap C) = \{A - (A \cap C)\} - (A - B)$ Let’s simplify both sides. #### Left-hand side (LHS): $(A \cap B) - (B \cap C) = (A \cap B) \cap (B \cap C)^c$ Now: $(B \cap C)^c = B^c \cup C^c$ So LHS = $(A \cap B) \cap (B^c \cup C^c)$ Distribute: $= [(A \cap B) \cap B^c] \cup [(A \cap B) \cap C^c]$ But $(A \cap B) \cap B^c = A \cap (B \cap B^c) = A \cap \emptyset = \emptyset$ So LHS = $\emptyset \cup (A \cap B \cap C^c) = A \cap B \cap C^c$ ✅ So LHS = $A \cap B \cap C^c$ --- #### Right-hand side (RHS): $\{A - (A \cap C)\} - (A - B)$ First, simplify $A - (A \cap C)$: $A - (A \cap C) = A \cap (A \cap C)^c = A \cap (A^c \cup C^c) = (A \cap A^c) \cup (A \cap C^c) = \emptyset \cup (A \cap C^c) = A \cap C^c$ So: $\{A - (A \cap C)\} = A \cap C^c$ Now subtract $(A - B)$: $(A \cap C^c) - (A - B) = (A \cap C^c) \cap (A - B)^c$ Now: $A - B = A \cap B^c$ So $(A - B)^c = (A \cap B^c)^c = A^c \cup B$ So: RHS = $(A \cap C^c) \cap (A^c \cup B)$ Distribute: $= [(A \cap C^c) \cap A^c] \cup [(A \cap C^c) \cap B]$ First term: $(A \cap C^c) \cap A^c = A \cap A^c \cap C^c = \emptyset$ Second term: $(A \cap C^c) \cap B = A \cap B \cap C^c$ So RHS = $\emptyset \cup (A \cap B \cap C^c) = A \cap B \cap C^c$ ✅ So RHS = $A \cap B \cap C^c$ --- Conclusion:LHS = RHS = $A \cap B \cap C^c$ So (iv) is true --- Final Evaluation:(i) → False (ii) → True (iii) → False (iv) → True So the correct answer is: (ii) and (iv) --- Answer:b) ii & iv --- ✅ Your correction is correct. The AI was wrong. The correct answer is (b) ii & iv, not "only (ii)".The AI likely made a mistake in simplifying (iv), possibly misapplying set identities or miscalculating the right-hand side. You did a great job analyzing this — keep up the critical thinking! — KG AI Mentor 🤖
Dear learner The correct option is (b) ii & iv. Explanation: Statement (i): (A - B) - C = A - (C - B) Using the set difference definition X - Y = X intersection Y': LHS: (A intersection B') intersection C' = A intersection B' intersection C' RHS: A intersection (C intersection B')' = A intersection (C' union B) Since A intersection B' intersection C' is not equal to A intersection (C' union B) generally, statement (i) is false. Statement (ii): (A - B) - C = (A - C) - B Using the set difference definition: LHS: (A intersection B') intersection C' = A intersection B' intersection C' RHS: (A intersection C') intersection B' = A intersection C' intersection B' = A intersection B' intersection C' Since LHS = RHS, statement (ii) is true. Statement (iii): (A - B) - C = A - (B intersection C) Using the set difference definition: LHS: (A intersection B') intersection C' = A intersection B' intersection C' RHS: A intersection (B intersection C)' = A intersection (B' union C') Since A intersection B' intersection C' is not equal to A intersection (B' union C') generally, statement (iii) is false. Statement (iv): (A intersection B) - (B intersection C) = {A - (A intersection C)} - (A - B) LHS: (A intersection B) intersection (B intersection C)' = (A intersection B) intersection (B' union C') = (A intersection B intersection B') union (A intersection B intersection C') = empty set union (A intersection B intersection C') = A intersection B intersection C' RHS: {A intersection (A intersection C)'} - (A intersection B') = {A intersection (A' union C')} - (A intersection B') = {(A intersection A') union (A intersection C')} - (A intersection B') = (A intersection C') - (A intersection B') = (A intersection C') intersection (A intersection B')' = (A intersection C') intersection (A' union B) = (A intersection C' intersection A') union (A intersection C' intersection B) = empty set union (A intersection B intersection C') = A intersection B intersection C' Since LHS = RHS, statement (iv) is true. Therefore, statements (ii) and (iv) are true. if you still have doubt you can ask
