In a Venn diagram, A∪A′ is equal to which set?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: U
A′ is the complement of A in the universal set U, so it contains precisely the elements of U that are not in A. Every element of U is therefore either in A or in A′. Their union covers the entire universal set, giving A∪A′=U. The empty set is their intersection, not their union. Thus option C is correct.
