The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the symmetric difference of sets A and B, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of symmetric difference The symmetric difference of two sets A and B, denoted as \( A \Delta B \), is defined as the set of elements that are in either of the sets but not in their intersection. In simpler terms, it includes elements that are in A or in B but not in both. ### Step 2: Write the formula for symmetric difference The formula for the symmetric difference can be expressed as: \[ A \Delta B = (A - B) \cup (B - A) \] This means we take elements that are in A but not in B and combine them with elements that are in B but not in A. ### Step 3: Analyze the given options Now, we will analyze each option provided in the question to see which one matches our derived formula. 1. **Option (i)**: \( (A - B) \cup (B - A) \) This matches our derived formula for symmetric difference. 2. **Option (ii)**: \( (B - A) \cup B \) This does not represent the symmetric difference, as it includes all elements of B. 3. **Option (iii)**: \( (A \cup B) - (A \cap B) \) This is another valid expression for the symmetric difference, as it represents all elements in A or B minus those that are in both. 4. **Option (iv)**: \( (A \cup B) \cap (A \cap B) \) This represents the intersection of A and B, which is not the symmetric difference. ### Step 4: Identify the correct options From our analysis: - Option (i) \( (A - B) \cup (B - A) \) is correct. - Option (iii) \( (A \cup B) - (A \cap B) \) is also correct. ### Conclusion The symmetric difference of sets A and B is equal to: - **Option (i)**: \( (A - B) \cup (B - A) \) - **Option (iii)**: \( (A \cup B) - (A \cap B) \)
