Question:

Find the union of each of the following pairs of sets:

(i) X = {1, 3, 5} Y = {1, 2, 3}

(ii) A = {aeiou} B = {abc}

(iii) A = {xx is a natural number and multiple of 3}

B = {xx is a natural number less than 6}

(iv) A = {xx is a natural number and 1 < x  6}

B = {xx is a natural number and 6 < x < 10}

(v) A = {1, 2, 3}, B = Φ

Solution:

(i) X = {1, 3, 5} Y = {1, 2, 3}

X Y= {1, 2, 3, 5}

(ii) A = {aeiou} B = {abc}

A B = {abceiou}

(iii) A = {xx is a natural number and multiple of 3} = {3, 6, 9 …}

As B = {xx is a natural number less than 6} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

A ∪ B = {1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6, 9, 12 …}

∴ A ∪ B = {xx = 1, 2, 4, 5 or a multiple of 3}

(iv) A = {xx is a natural number and 1 < x  6} = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

B = {xx is a natural number and 6 < x < 10} = {7, 8, 9}

A B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

∴ A B = {x: x  N and 1 < x < 10}

(v) A = {1, 2, 3}, B = Φ

A B = {1, 2, 3}
