Question 311993MathematicsWAEC

S = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), T = (2 ,4, 5, 7) and R = (1,4, 5), and (S ∩ T)∪ R

A

(1,4, 5)

B

(2, 4, 5)

C

(1, 2, 4, 5)

D

(2, 3, 4, 5)

Step-by-Step Explanation

We need to find:

(S∩T)∪R(S \cap T) \cup R

where

  • S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}
  • T={2,4,5,7}T = \{2,4,5,7\}
  • R={1,4,5}R = \{1,4,5\}

Step 1: Find the intersection S∩TS \cap T

The intersection contains only the elements that are in both SS and TT.

  • S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}
  • T={2,4,5,7}T = \{2,4,5,7\}

Common elements are:

S∩T={2,4,5}S \cap T = \{2,4,5\}

Step 2: Take the union with RR

Now find:

(S∩T)∪R={2,4,5}∪{1,4,5}(S \cap T) \cup R = \{2,4,5\} \cup \{1,4,5\}

The union contains all distinct elements from both sets:

{1,2,4,5}\{1,2,4,5\}

Final Answer

{1,2,4,5}\boxed{\{1,2,4,5\}}

So the correct option is:

C) (1,2,4,5)(1,2,4,5)
