Question

Given the sets A={1, 3, 5}, B={2, 4, 6} and C={0, 2, 4, 6, 8}, which of the following may be considered as universal set (s) for all the three sets A, B and C
i){0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
ii)ϕ
iii){0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
iv){0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Solution

(i) It can be seen that A{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
B{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
However, C/{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
Therefore, the set {0,1,2,3,4,5,6} cannot be the universal set for the sets A, B and C.
(ii) A/ϕ,B/ϕ,C/ϕ
Therefore, ϕ cannot be the universal set for the sets A, B, and C.
(iii) A{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
B{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
C{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
Therefore, the set {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} is the universal set for the sets A, B and C.
(iv) A{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
B{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
However, C/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
Therefore, the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} cannot be the universal set for the sets A, B, and C.
