Sets Relations And Functions Question 7

Question: Which of the following is/are true?

I. If A is a subset of the universal set U then its complement A? is also a subset of U. II. If $ U={1,2,3,….,10} $ and $ A={1,3,5,7,9} $ then $ {{(A’)}^{’}}=A. $

Options:

A) Only I is true

B) Only II is true

C) Both I and II are true

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • [c]If A is a subset of the universal set U, then its complement A? is also a subset of U. We have, $ A’={2,4,6,8,10} $ Hence, $ (A’)’={x:x\in Uandx\notin A’}={1,3,5,7,9}=A $ It is clear from the definition of the complement that for any subset of the universal set U, we have $ (A’)’=A $
