In each of the following, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, prove it. If it is false, give an example.
(i) If x ∈ A and A ∈ B, then x ∈ B
(ii) If A ⊂ B and B ∈ C, then A ∈ C
(iii) If A ⊂ B and B ⊂ C, then A ⊂ C
(iv) If A ⊄ B and B ⊄ C, then A ⊄ C
(v) If x ∈ A and A ⊄ B, then x ∈ B
(vi) If A ⊂ B and x ∉ B, then x ∉ A
(i) Right answer is True
Explanation:-
x∈A and A∈B, then x∈B
To determine whether the statement is true
A = {1, 2} and B = {1, {1, 2}, {3}}
Now, we have,
2 ∈ {1, 2} and {1, 2} ∈ {1, {1, 2}, {3}}
Hence, we get,
A ∈ B
We also know,
{2} ∉ {1, {1, 2}, {3}}
(ii) Right answer is False
Explanation:-
Let us assume that,
A {2}
B = {0, 2}
And, C = {1, {0, 2}, 3}
From the question,
A ⊂ B
Hence,
B ∈ C
But, we know,
A ∉ C
(iii) Right answer is True
Explanation:-
A ⊂ B and B ⊂ C
Let us assume that,
x ∈ A
Then, we have,
x ∈ B
And,
x ∈ C
Therefore,
A ⊂ C
(iv) Right answer is False
Explanation:-
A ⊄ B
Also,
B ⊄ C
Let us assume that,
A = {1, 2}
B = {0, 6, 8}
And,
C = {0, 1, 2, 6, 9}
A ⊂ C
(v) Right answer is False
Explanation:-
x ∈ A
Also,
A ⊄ B
Let us assume that,
A = {3, 5, 7}
Also,
B = {3, 4, 6}
We know that,
A ⊄ B
5 ∉ B
(vi) Right answer is True
Explanation:-
A ⊂ B
Also,
x ∉ B
Let us assume that,
x ∈ A,
We have,
x ∈ B,
From the question,
We have, x ∉ B
x ∉ A
