If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4} and C = {4, 5, 6}, find
i. A x (B ∩ C)
ii. (A x B) ∩ (A xC)
iii. A x (B ∪ C)
iv. (A x B) ∪ (A x C)
given: A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4} and C = {4, 5, 6}
(i) To find: A × (B ∩ C)
(B ∩ C) = {4}
∴ A × (B ∩ C) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
(ii) To find: (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
(A × B) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 3), (3, 4)}
(A × C) = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
∴ (A × B) ∩ (A × C) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
(iii) To find: A × (B ∪ C)
(B ∪ C) = {3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ A × (B ∪ C) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
(iv) To find: (A × B) ∪ (A × C)
(A × B) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 3), (3, 4)}
(A × C) = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
∴ (A × B) ∪ (A × C) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
