Answer 1

Answer:

The correct statements regarding the sets A and B is:

        II.

$A\bigcap B=\{13,15\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given set A as:

$A=\{3,4,13,15\}$

and set B as:

$B=\{13,15,21,25,30,37\}$

and the three statements are given by:

I.

$A\bigcup B=\{12,4,21,25,30,37\}$

II.

$A\bigcap B=\{13,15\}$

III.

$A\subset B$

• We know that the union of two sets is the collection of all the elements which belong either to A or to B.

i.e. from the given sets we have:

$A\bigcup B=\{3,4,13,15,21,25,30,37\}$

• Also, the intersection of two sets is the collection of all the elements which belongs to both the set.

i.e.

$A\bigcap B=\{13,15\}$

• Also, we know that A is a subset of B if:

All the elements of A are contained in B.

But from the given sets we see that:

3,4 belongs to A but they do not belong to B.

Hence, A is not a subset of B.
