If A B, show that (B’ – A’) = ϕ.

As A B the set A is inside set B



Hence A B = B


Taking compliment


(A B)’ = B’


Using De-Morgan’s law (A B)’ = A’ B’


A’ B’ = B’ …(i)


Now we know that


B’ = (B’ – A’) + (A’ B’)



Using (i)


B’ = (B’ – A’) + B’


(B’ – A’) = B’ – B’


(B’ – A’) = 0


(B’ – A’) = {ϕ}


Hence proved
