Prove That A ⊂ B ⇒ C − B ⊂ C − A
Question:
For three sets \( A \), \( B \) and \( C \), show that:
\[ A\subset B \Rightarrow C-B\subset C-A \]Solution
Given:
\[ A\subset B \]Let \( x\in C-B \).
Then,
\[ x\in C \quad \text{and} \quad x\notin B \]Since \( A\subset B \), every element of \( A \) belongs to \( B \).
Therefore, if \( x\notin B \), then \( x\notin A \).
Thus,
\[ x\in C \quad \text{and} \quad x\notin A \]Hence,
\[ x\in C-A \]Therefore every element of \( C-B \) is also an element of \( C-A \).
So,
\[ C-B\subset C-A \]Hence proved.
