If A ⊆ B ⊆ C, then what is A ∪ B ∪ C equal to?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
The relation A⊆B⊆C means every element of A is in B and every element of B is in C. Consequently, all elements of A and B are already contained in C. Taking the union therefore adds nothing beyond C, while every element of C is included in the union. Hence A ∪ B ∪ C=C.
