If the universal set U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, i}, A = {a, c, f}, and B = {b, c, e, i}, what is the value of (A ∪ B)'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {d, g}
First form the union: A ∪ B = {a, b, c, e, f, i}. The complement is taken with respect to the universal set U, so we select the elements of U that do not occur in this union. The remaining elements are d and g; therefore, (A ∪ B)' = {d, g}. Option D is wrong because f belongs to A and hence to the union.
