State whether the given statement is true false:
(i) If A ⊂ B and x∉B than x ∉A.
(ii) If A ⊆ϕ then A = ϕ
(iii) If A, B and C are three sets such than A ϵ B and B ⊂ C then A ⊂ C.
(iv) If A, B and C are three sets such than A ⊂B and B ϵ C then A ϵC.
(v) If A, B and C are three sets such that A ⊄B and B ⊄C then A ⊄C.
(vi) If A and B are sets such that x A and A ϵ B then x ϵ B.
(i) True
Explanation: We have A ⊂ B since A is a subset of B then all elements of A should be in B.
Let A = {1,2} and B = {1,2,3}
Let x=4∉B
Also we observe that 4∉A.
Hence, If A ⊂ B and x∉B than x ∉A.
(ii) True
Explanation: We have, A ⊆ ϕ
Now, A is a subset of null set , this implies A is also an empty set.
⇒ A =ϕ
(iii) False
Explanation: Let A = {a}, B = {{a}, b}
here , A ϵ B
Now, let C = {{a}, b, c}.
Since, {a},b is in B and also in C thus, B ⊂ C.
But, A ={a} and {a} is an element of C, since the element of a set cannot be a subset of a set.
Hence,A ⊄ C.
(iv) False
Explanation: Let A = {a},B = {a, b} and C = {{a, b}, c}.
Then,A⊂ B and B ϵC. But, A ∉ C since {a} is not an element of C.
(v) False.
Explanation: Let A = {a}, B = {b, c} and C = {a, c}.
Since a ∈ A and a ∉ B.Then, A ⊄ B
Now, b ∈ B and b ∉ C ⇒ B ⊄C.
But, A ⊂ C since, a ∈ A and a ∈ C.
(vi) False.
Explanation: Let A = {x}, B = {{x}, y}
Now, x ϵ A and {x} is an element of B ⇒ A ϵ B
But, x is not an element of B. Thus, x∉B.
