Solution

The correct options are
A (AB)(AC)
D {1,2}
Given A={1,2,3}, B={2,4,5} and C={4,1,9}.
Then, A(BC)={1,2,3}({2,4,5}{4,1,9})
={1,2,3} {1,2,4,5,9}
={1,2}.
Also, (AB)(AC)=({1,2,3}{2,4,5})({1,2,3}{4,1,9})
={2}{1}
={1,2}.

This property of sets A, B and C such that
A(BC)=(AB)(AC) is called the distributive property of sets (intersection over union).
