If U = {a, b, c, d, e, f}, A = {a, b, c}, and D = {d, e, f}, which conclusion is correct using A ∩ D and A ∪ D?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D = Aᶜ
The sets A and D have no common elements, so A ∩ D = ∅. Together they contain every element of U, so A ∪ D = U. A set that is disjoint from A and whose union with A is U is precisely the complement of A. Therefore, D = Aᶜ.
