If A = {r, s, t, u}, B = {s, u, v}, and C = {u, v, w}, what is A ∩ (B ∪ C)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {s, u}
First calculate the union inside the parentheses: B ∪ C = {s, u, v, w}. Next, retain only the elements that are also present in A = {r, s, t, u}. The common elements are s and u, while v and w are not in A and r and t are not in B ∪ C. Hence A ∩ (B ∪ C) = {s, u}; option A is correct.
