Statement-1 If U is universal set and B ...

Statement-1 If `U` is universal set and `B = U - A,` then `n(B) = n(U) - n(A)`.
Statement-2 For any three arbitrary sets `A, B` and `C,` if `C = A - B,` then `n(C ) = n(A) - n(B).`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`because B = U - A = A'`
`therefore n(B) = n(A') = n(U) - n(A)`
So, Statement-1 is true.
But for any three arbitrary sets A, B and C, we cannot always have
n(C ) = n(A) - n(B)
if C = A - B
As it is not specified A is universal set not. In case not conclude.
n(C ) = n(A) - n(B)
Hence, Statement-2 is false.
