A={5,10,15,20,25,30} and B={10,20,30,40}. What is A−B?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {5,15,25}
The difference A−B contains elements that are in A but not in B. From A, the elements 10, 20, and 30 also occur in B, so they must be removed. The remaining elements are 5, 15, and 25. Therefore A−B={5,15,25}, making option C correct. Option A is the common part, and option D is the union.
