The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information and the options provided. We have two non-empty subsets \( A \) and \( B \) of a set \( X \) such that \( A \) is not a subset of \( B \). This means that there exists at least one element in \( A \) that is not in \( B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - We know that \( A \) is not a subset of \( B \). This implies that there exists at least one element \( x \in A \) such that \( x \notin B \). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to evaluate the four options provided: 1. \( A \subseteq \overline{B} \) (A is a subset of the complement of B) 2. \( B \subseteq A \) (B is a subset of A) 3. \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint sets 4. \( A \) and \( \overline{B} \) are non-disjoint sets 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1**: \( A \subseteq \overline{B} \) - This option suggests that all elements of \( A \) are outside of \( B \). However, we cannot conclude this from the information given. There may be elements in \( A \) that are also in \( B \). Thus, this option is not necessarily true. - **Option 2**: \( B \subseteq A \) - This option suggests that all elements of \( B \) are in \( A \). Again, we cannot conclude this from the information given. Therefore, this option is also not necessarily true. - **Option 3**: \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint sets - For \( A \) and \( B \) to be disjoint, their intersection must be empty. Since we know that \( A \) contains at least one element that is not in \( B \), we cannot conclude that \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint. Thus, this option is not necessarily true. - **Option 4**: \( A \) and \( \overline{B} \) are non-disjoint sets - The complement of \( B \), denoted \( \overline{B} \), consists of all elements in \( X \) that are not in \( B \). Since we have at least one element \( x \in A \) such that \( x \notin B \), it follows that \( x \) must be in \( \overline{B} \). Therefore, \( A \) and \( \overline{B} \) must have at least one element in common, making them non-disjoint. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that \( A \) and \( \overline{B} \) are non-disjoint sets. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **4. \( A \) and \( \overline{B} \) are non-disjoint sets**.
