Multiple Choice Options

  • A A=CA=C
  • B B=CB=C
  • C A∩B=ϕA \cap B=\phi
  • D A=BA=B

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

From the given conditions, we have :

  1. A ∩ B = A ∩ C : The intersection of set A with set B is the same as the intersection of set A with set C. This indicates that all elements common to A and B are also common to A and C, and vice versa.


  2. A ∪ B = A ∪ C : The union of set A with set B is the same as the union of set A with set C. This indicates that all elements in A, B, and C are the same.

From these two conditions, we can infer that set B is equal to set C because every element of B is also an element of C and vice versa. Hence, Option B : B = C is the correct answer.
