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
where
- S={1,2,3,4,5,6}
- T={2,4,5,7}
- R={1,4,5}
Step 1: Find the intersection S∩T
The intersection contains only the elements that are in both S and T.
- S={1,2,3,4,5,6}
- T={2,4,5,7}
Common elements are:
S∩T={2,4,5}
Step 2: Take the union with R
Now find:
(S∩T)∪R={2,4,5}∪{1,4,5}
The union contains all distinct elements from both sets:
{1,2,4,5}
Final Answer
{1,2,4,5}
So the correct option is:
C) (1,2,4,5)
