Solution

(i) Given : U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, A={1,2,3,4}
A=UA={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{1,2,3,4}
A={5,6,7,8}

(ii) Given : U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, B={2,4,6,8}
B=UB={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{2,4,6,8}
B={1,3,5,7,9}

(iii) Given : U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A={1,2,3,4} and C={3,4,5,6}
Step 1: Finding AC
AC={1,2,3,4,5,6}
Step 2: Finding (AC)
(AC)=U(AC)={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{1,2,3,4,5,6}
={7,8,9}
Final answer:
(AC)={7,8,9}

(iv) Given : U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A={1,2,3,4} and B={2,4,6,8}
Step 1: Finding AB
AB={1,2,3,4,6,8}
Step 2: Finding (AB)
(AB)=U(AB)={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{1,2,3,4,6,8}
={5,7,9}
Final answer:
(AB)={5,7,9}

(v) Given: U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, A={1,2,3,4,}
Step 1: Finding complement of set A
A=UA={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{1,2,3,4}
={5,6,7,8,9}
Step 2: Finding coplement of A
(A)=UA={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{5,6,7,8,9}
={1,2,3,4}
(A)=A
Final answer :
(A)={1,2,3,4}=A

(vi) Given: U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},B={2,4,6,8} and C={3,4,5,6}
Step 1: Finding BC.
BC=B(BC)
BC={2,4,6,8}{3,4,5,6}={4,6}
BC={2,4,6,8}{4,6}
={2,8}
Step 2: Finding complement of (BC)
(BC)=U(BC)
={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{2,8}
={1,3,4,5,6,7,9}
