Given that for sets AA and BB in a universal set EE, A⊆BA \subseteq B, then A∩(A∩B)′A \cap (A \cap B)' is

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. A⊆BA \subseteq B means every element of AA is in BB, so A∩B=AA \cap B = A.
  2. So the expression is A∩A′A \cap A'.
  3. Nothing is in a set and in its complement at once, so A∩A′=∅A \cap A' = \varnothing, option B.
