Question:

If set $A=\{1,2,3,4\}$ and $B=\{3,4,5,6\}$. Find $A-B$.

Options:

$\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

$\{3,4\}$

$\{1,2\}$

$\{5,6\}$

Correct Answer:

$\{1,2\}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\{1,2\}$

$A-B$ is the set of elements that belongs to A but not to B. Here, 1 and 2 belongs to A but not to B. So,

$A = \{1,2,3,4\}$

$B = \{3,4,5,6\}$

$A – B = \{1,2,3,4\} – \{3,4,5,6\} = \{1,2\}$.
