In which case will A′ = ∅?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When A = U
The complement A′ consists of the elements of the universal set U that are not in A. For the complement to be empty, there must be no element of U outside A. This happens exactly when A contains every element of U, meaning A = U. Therefore, A′ = ∅ when A = U, so option A is correct.
