1. Let A={1, 2, 3, 4}, B={2, 4, 6, 8} and C={3, 4, 5, 6}. Find:

a. A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}
b. A ∩ B = {2, 4}
c. B ∪ C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
d. A ∪ A = {1, 2, 3, 4} or A
e. (A ∪ B) ∪ C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8} ∪ {3, 4, 5, 6} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
f. A ∩ (B ∪ C) = {1, 2, 3, 4} ∩ {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8} = {2, 3 ,4}
g. (A − B) ∪ C = {1, 3} ∪ {3, 4, 5, 6} = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6}
h. (A ∪ B) − C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8} - {3, 4, 5, 6} = {1, 2, 8}
i. (A − C) ∩ B = {1, 2} ∩ {2, 4, 6, 8} = {2}
j. (C − A) ∪ A = {5, 6} ∪ {1, 2, 3, 4} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

2. Let the universal set U={a, b, c, d, e, f, g}, and let A={a, b, c, d, e}, B={a, c, e, g} and C={b, e, f, g}.
Find:
a. A = {f, g}
b. B = {b, d, f}
c. C = {a, c, d}
d. U = {}
e. A∪ B = {f, g}∪{a, c, e, g} = {a, c, e, f, g}
f. A - B= {f}
g. A ∪ B - B = {b, d, f, g} - {a, c, e, g} = {b, d, f}
h. C∩ A = {a, c, d}
i. A - B = {g}
j. A ∩C = {}

3. Let U={1, 2, 3, …, 8, 9}, A={1, 2, 3, 4}, B={2, 4, 6, 8}, and C={3, 4, 5, 6}. Draw the Venn
diagrams of the following:
a. A = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
b. B = {1,3,5,7,9}
c. C = {1,2,7,8,9}
d. U = {}
e. A∪ B = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9} ∪{2, 4, 6, 8} = {2,4,5,6,7,8,9}
f. A - B= {5,7,9}
g. A ∪ B - B = {5,7,9} - {2,4,6,8} = {}
