If U = {a, b, c, d, e, g, h}, A = {a, c, g}, and B = {b, c, h}, what is (A ∪ B)' with respect to U?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {d, e}
First form the union: A ∪ B = {a, c, g} ∪ {b, c, h} = {a, b, c, g, h}. The complement is taken relative to the stated universal set U, so we select the elements of U that are absent from this union. The remaining elements are d and e. Therefore, (A ∪ B)' = {d, e}, making option A correct.
