Question

Let $A = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid x \text{ is a prime number and } x < 10\}$, $B = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid x \text{ is an even number and } x < 9\}$, and $C = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid x \text{ is a multiple of } 3 \text{ and } x < 10\}$.
Then $((A \cap B) - C) \times (B - (A \cup C))$ is:

The correct answer is

$\{(2, 4), (2, 8)\}$

To solve the problem, we need to carefully determine the sets involved and perform the set operations as instructed. Let's break it down step by step:

  1. Identify Set Elements:
    • Set \(A = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid x \text{ is a prime number and } x < 10\}\)
      The prime numbers less than 10 are 2, 3, 5, and 7. Hence, \(A = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}\).
    • Set \(B = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid x \text{ is an even number and } x < 9\}\)
      The even numbers less than 9 are 2, 4, 6, and 8. Hence, \(B = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}\).
    • Set \(C = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid x \text{ is a multiple of } 3 \text{ and } x < 10\}\)
      The multiples of 3 less than 10 are 3, 6, and 9. Hence, \(C = \{3, 6, 9\}\).
  2. Calculate the Intersection and Differences:
    • \(A \cap B = \{2\}\)
    • \((A \cap B) - C = \{2\} - \{3, 6, 9\} = \{2\}\)
    • \(A \cup C = \{2, 3, 5, 7\} \cup \{3, 6, 9\} = \{2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9\}\)
    • \(B - (A \cup C) = \{2, 4, 6, 8\} - \{2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9\} = \{4, 8\}\)
  3. Calculate the Cartesian Product:
    • The Cartesian product \(((A \cap B) - C) \times (B - (A \cup C))\) is:
    • \(\{2\} \times \{4, 8\} = \{(2, 4), (2, 8)\}\)

Hence, the answer is \(\{(2, 4), (2, 8)\}\), which matches the third option provided.
