The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( A \cap (A' \cup B) \) given that sets \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Sets**: - \( A' \) is the complement of set \( A \), which includes all elements not in \( A \). - Since \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint, \( A \cap B = \emptyset \) (the intersection of \( A \) and \( B \) is the empty set). 2. **Find \( A' \cup B \)**: - The union \( A' \cup B \) includes all elements that are either not in \( A \) or in \( B \). - Since \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint, \( A' \) does not include any elements from \( B \). 3. **Calculate \( A \cap (A' \cup B) \)**: - Now, we need to find the intersection of \( A \) with \( A' \cup B \). - The intersection \( A \cap A' \) is empty because no element can be both in \( A \) and not in \( A \). - The intersection \( A \cap B \) is also empty because \( A \) and \( B \) are disjoint. 4. **Combine the Results**: - Therefore, \( A \cap (A' \cup B) = (A \cap A') \cup (A \cap B) = \emptyset \cup \emptyset = \emptyset \). 5. **Conclusion**: - Thus, \( A \cap (A' \cup B) = \emptyset \). The answer is that \( A \cap (A' \cup B) \) is equal to the null set. ### Final Answer: **Option A: Null Set**
