Here you will learn what is the difference of two sets with venn diagram and examples.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin –<\/p>\n
Definition<\/strong> : Let A and B be two sets. The difference of A and B, written as A – B, is the set of all those elements of A which do not belong to B.<\/p>\n Thus,\u00a0 A – B = {x : x \\(\\in\\) A and x \\(\\in\\) B}<\/p>\n or,\u00a0 A – B = {x \\(\\in\\) A : x \\(\\notin\\) B}.<\/p>\n Clearly, x \\(\\in\\) A – B\u00a0 \\(iff\\)\u00a0 x \\(\\in\\) A\u00a0 and x \\(\\notin\\) B.<\/p>\n Similarly, the difference B – A is the set of all those elements of B that do not belong to A i.e.<\/p>\n B – A = {x \\(\\in\\) B : x \\(\\notin\\) A}<\/p>\n In the diagram given below, the coloured part shows A – B and B – A, which is the difference of two set.<\/p>\n
