JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2009 - No. 22)

If $A, B$ and $C$ are three sets such that $A \cap B=A \cap C$ and $A \cup B=A \cup C$, then :
$A=C$
$B=C$
$A \cap B=\phi$
$A=B$

Explanation

From the given conditions, we have :

  1. A ∩ B = A ∩ C : The intersection of set A with set B is the same as the intersection of set A with set C. This indicates that all elements common to A and B are also common to A and C, and vice versa.


  2. A ∪ B = A ∪ C : The union of set A with set B is the same as the union of set A with set C. This indicates that all elements in A, B, and C are the same.

From these two conditions, we can infer that set B is equal to set C because every element of B is also an element of C and vice versa. Hence, Option B : B = C is the correct answer.
