The difference A − B is the set of elements that are in A but not in:

Answer: B.

  • A B
  • B A
  • C A ∪ B
  • D A ∩ B

Correct answer: A. B

Explanation: A − B keeps the elements of A that do not belong to B.

Set Operations: Union, Intersection, ComplementUABA∩BOutside both circles = (A∪B)' = A'∩B' (De Morgan)A∪B = everything in either circle; A∩B = only the overlap

A Venn diagram makes set identities visual: A∪B is everything inside either circle, A∩B is only the overlap, and the region outside both circles represents the complement of their union - directly illustrating De Morgan's law (A∪B)′ = A′∩B′.
