Let A, B, C be arbitrary finite sets from the same universal set U. - (a) Is it true that A - B C (A - B) – (B − C)? If "yes", then prove "rigorously"; if "no", then show a concrete counterexample by specifying sets A, B, C where this subset relation does not hold. (To prove an expression of the form MCN "rigorously", you need to consider an arbitrary element x from M and show that x E N.) (b) Is it true that (A - B = A - C) ⇒ (B = C)? If "yes", then prove "rigorously"; if "no", then show a concrete counterexample by specifying sets A, B, C where this implication does not hold.
