A and B be any two sets.
If A∩X=B∩X=ϕ andA∪X = B∪X for some set X.
Then, show that A=B.
Suppose that a∈A then if A∩X=ϕ, a∉ X
If A∪X = B∪X i.e. A∪X=B⋃X−X=B , a∈B
Then,
a∈A → a∈B is equivalent to say that A⊆B ......(1)
Let now, a∈B
If B∩X=ϕ then p∉X and if B∪X=A∪X but a∉X, i.e.
B∪X=A∪X−X=A
a∈B → a∈A
That means B ⊆A.......(2)
By equation (1) and (2), we get
A=B
Hence proved.
