Operations on

Sets
Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners are
expected to:
01 Define what are the Operations
of Set

Differentiate Intersection,
02 Union, Difference and
Complement of a Set
Determine the relationship of
03 Diagrams with Sets
Set Operations
The set operations are performed on two or
more sets to obtain a combination of elements
as per the operation performed on them. In a
set theory, there are three major types of
operations performed on sets, such as:
1. Union of sets (∪)
2. Intersection of sets (∩)
3. Difference of sets ( – )
Union of sets
If two sets A and B are given, then the union of
A and B is equal to the set that contains all the
elements present in set A and set B.

Example: If set A = {1,2,3,4} and B {6,7}


Then, Union of sets, A ∪ B = {1,2,3,4,6,7}
Intersection of
sets
If two sets A and B are given, then the
intersection of A and B is the subset of universal
set U, which consist of elements common to
both A and B. It is denoted by the symbol ‘∩’.
Example: Let A = {1,2,3} and B = {3,4,5}
Then, A∩B = {3}; because 3 is common to both
the sets.
Difference of
sets
If there are two sets A and B, then the
difference of two sets A and B is equal to the
set which consists of elements present in A but
not in B. It is represented by A-B.
Example: If A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} and B = {6,7}
are two sets.
Then, the difference of set A and set B is given
by;
A – B = {1,2,3,4,5}
Complement of
Set
If U is a universal set and X is any subset of U
then the complement of X is the set of all
elements of the set U apart from the elements
of X
Example: U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
A = {1,2,5,6}
Then, complement of A will be;
A’ = {3,4,7,8}
Operations on Sets
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A = {2, 3, 7, 8}
B = {1, 3, 4, 5}
1.A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}
2. A ∩ B = {3}
3. A – B = {2, 7, 8}
4.A’ = {1, 4, 5, 6, 9}
Operations on Sets
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A = {2, 3, 7, 8} B = {1, 3, 4, 5} C = {1, 2, 6,
9} D = Ø
1.(A ∪ C)’ = {4, 5}
2. A’ ∪ B’ = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
3. B – C’ = {1}
4.(A ∩ B) U C = {1, 2, 3, 6, 9}
Operations on Sets
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
A = {1, 3, 4, 5, 7} B = {2, 4, 5, 6, 8}

ACTIVITY
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A = {2, 3, 7, 8} B = {1, 3, 4, 5} C = {1, 2, 6,
9} D = Ø
1.(A ∪ D) ∩ B
2. A’ ∪ (B’ ∩ C)
