If U = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30} and A = {10, 20, 30}, what is the complement A' relative to U?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {5, 15, 25}
The complement A' relative to U consists of elements that are in U but not in A. Remove 10, 20, and 30 from U = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30}. The elements left are 5, 15, and 25, so A' = {5, 15, 25}. Option B is A itself, while options C and D either retain or omit elements incorrectly.
