Determine whether each of the statement in

For all sets A, B and C, if A ⊂ B, then A ∪ C ⊂ B ∪ C

Given: There are three sets A, B and C


To check: if A ⊂ B, then A ∪ C ⊂ B ∪ C is true or false


Let x ∈ A ∪ C


⇒ x ∈ A or x ∈ C


⇒ x ∈ B or x ∈ C {∵ A ⊂ B}


⇒ x ∈ B ∪ C


⇒ A ∪ C ⊂ B ∪ C


Hence, the given statement is true
