Represnting the above information in a Venn-diagram,

U
A B

1 3 4
2 5 7
8 6
9 10
11 12
0
C
(AB) – C

The shaded region denotes (AB) – C.

Example 5: If U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, A = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7} and B = {2, 4, 5, 6}, find
the following sets and illustrate them in a Venn-diagram.
(a) A (b) (AB)' (c) (AB) (d) (A – B)
Solution: Here,
U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, A = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7}, B = {2, 4, 5, 6}
a. A = U – A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} – {1, 2, 3, 5, 7} = {0, 4, 6, 8, 9}
It is illustrated in a Venn-diagram as

A'
b. AB = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7}  {2, 4, 5, 6}
 AB = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
Now,
(AB) = U - (AB)
= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} – {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
= {0, 8, 9}
It is illustrated in a Venn-diagram as
