Prove That If A ⊂ B Then C − B ⊂ C − A

Prove That If A ⊂ B Then C − B ⊂ C − A

Question:

If \( A \), \( B \), \( C \) are three sets such that \( A\subset B \), then prove that:

\[ C-B\subset C-A \]

Solution

Let \( x\in C-B \).

\[ x\in C \quad \text{and} \quad x\notin B \]

Since \( A\subset B \),

\[ x\notin B \Rightarrow x\notin A \]

Therefore,

\[ x\in C \quad \text{and} \quad x\notin A \] \[ x\in C-A \]

Hence,

\[ C-B\subset C-A \]

Hence proved.
