Q. Let R={−4,4,14} and S={2,12}. What is R∪S?Choices: (A) {−4,2,4,12,14}(B) Φ(C) {2,4,12}(D) {−4,2}
Concept of union of sets: Understand the concept of union of sets.The union of two sets R and S, denoted by R∪S, is the set of all elements that are in R, or in S, or in both. This means we combine the elements of both sets without repeating any elements.
Elements of set R: List the elements of set R.R = {−4,4,14}
Elements of set S: List the elements of set S.S = {2,12}
Forming the union: Combine the elements of R and S to form the union.R∪S={−4,4,14}∪{2,12}={−4,2,4,12,14}We make sure to list each element only once, even if it appears in both sets.
