The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given about the sets A, B, and C. ### Step 1: Understand Statement P Statement P states that: \[ A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup C \] To check if this statement is true, we can use the distributive property of set operations. The distributive property states that: \[ A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C) \] ### Step 2: Compare Statement P with the Distributive Property From the distributive property, we have: \[ A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C) \] Now, if we compare this with Statement P: - Left side: \( A \cap (B \cup C) \) - Right side: \( (A \cap B) \cup C \) For these two expressions to be equal, \( (A \cap C) \) must equal \( C \). This is only true if \( C \) is a subset of \( A \). ### Step 3: Understand Statement Q Statement Q states that: \[ C \subseteq A \] This means that every element of set C is also an element of set A. ### Step 4: Conclusion From our analysis: - Statement P holds true if and only if Statement Q is true, meaning \( C \) must be a subset of \( A \). Thus, the correct conclusion is that Statement Q is correct. ### Final Answer The correct statement is: **Statement Q: C is a subset of A.** ---
