Question

In each of the following, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, prove it. If it is false, give an example.
(i) If xA and AB, then xB
(ii) If AB and BC, then AC
(iii) If AB and BC, then AC
(iv) If A⊄B and B⊄C, then A⊄C
(v) If xA and A⊄B, then xB
(vi) If AB and xB, then xA

Solution
Verified by Toppr

(i) False
Let A={1,2} and B={1,{1,2},{3}}
2{1,2} and {1,2}{{3},1,{1,2}}
Now,
AB
However, 2/{{3},1,{1,2}}

(ii) False.
As AB, BC
Let A={2},B={0,2}, and C={1,{0,2},3}
However, A/C

(iii) True
Let AB and BC.
Let xA
xB [AB]
xC [BC]
AC

(iv) False
As, A/B and B/C
Let A={1,2},B={0,6,8}, and C={0,1,2,6,9}
However, AC

(v) False
Let A={3,5,7} and B={3,4,6}
Now, 5A and A/B
However, 5/B

(vi) True
Let AB and x/B.
To show: x/A
If possible, suppose xA.
Then, xB, which is a contradiction as x/B
x/A
