The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the expression \( S \in (P \Delta Q) \Delta R \) and determine the possible membership of \( S \) in relation to the sets \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Symmetric Difference**: The symmetric difference between two sets \( A \) and \( B \), denoted as \( A \Delta B \), is defined as: \[ A \Delta B = (A \setminus B) \cup (B \setminus A) \] This means it includes elements that are in either \( A \) or \( B \) but not in both. 2. **Applying the Definition**: We need to find \( (P \Delta Q) \Delta R \). First, we compute \( P \Delta Q \): \[ P \Delta Q = (P \setminus Q) \cup (Q \setminus P) \] This gives us the elements that are in \( P \) or \( Q \) but not in both. 3. **Next Step**: Now we compute \( (P \Delta Q) \Delta R \): \[ (P \Delta Q) \Delta R = ((P \Delta Q) \setminus R) \cup (R \setminus (P \Delta Q)) \] Here, we are looking for elements that are in either \( (P \Delta Q) \) or \( R \) but not in both. 4. **Breaking Down the Expression**: - **First Part**: \( (P \Delta Q) \setminus R \) includes elements that are in \( P \Delta Q \) but not in \( R \). - **Second Part**: \( R \setminus (P \Delta Q) \) includes elements that are in \( R \) but not in \( P \Delta Q \). 5. **Combining the Results**: Therefore, \( S \) can belong to: - Elements that are in \( P \) or \( Q \) but not in both, and not in \( R \). - Or elements that are in \( R \) but not in \( P \) or \( Q \). 6. **Conclusion**: Thus, \( S \) may belong to the union of the two parts calculated above. ### Final Answer: \( S \) may belong to the following sets: - Elements in \( P \) or \( Q \) but not both and not in \( R \). - Elements in \( R \) but not in \( P \Delta Q \).
