If A and B are nonempty, bounded, and satisfy A c B then sup A < sup B.
(b)
If sup A < inf B for sets A and B, then there exists a c e R satisfying a <c < b for all a E A and b e B.
(c)
If there exists a c e R satisfying a <c < b for all a E A and b e B, then sup A < inf B.
(d)
There exist two sets A and B such that An B = 0, sup A = sup B, sup A ¢ A and sup B¢ B.
