Q4(iv):
Show that the following four conditions are equivalent : (iv) $A \cap B = A$
Solution :
Step 1: Theoretical Foundation of Set Equivalence
To demonstrate that the condition $A \cap B = A$ is equivalent to the fundamental inclusion relation of subsets, we must analyze the logical implications of the intersection operation under the axioms of Set Theory [Per Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory axioms].
Step 2: Logical Derivation of the Condition
We analyze the statement $A \cap B = A$ using the definition of set intersection: $A \cap B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \in B\}$.
- Forward Implication ($\implies$): Assume $A \cap B = A$. By the definition of intersection, for any element $x \in (A \cap B)$, it must be that $x \in A$ and $x \in B$. Since our assumption states $A \cap B = A$, any element $x \in A$ must also be an element of $A \cap B$. Therefore, if $x \in A$, then $x \in (A \cap B)$, which implies $x \in A$ and $x \in B$. Consequently, $x \in B$. Thus, $A \subseteq B$.
- Backward Implication ($\impliedby$): Assume $A \subseteq B$. To show $A \cap B = A$, we must demonstrate both $A \cap B \subseteq A$ and $A \subseteq A \cap B$.
- By the definition of intersection, $A \cap B \subseteq A$ is always true [By the properties of set operations].
- If $A \subseteq B$, then for any element $x \in A$, it follows that $x \in B$. Since $x \in A$ and $x \in B$, it follows that $x \in (A \cap B)$. Thus, $A \subseteq A \cap B$.
- Since $A \cap B \subseteq A$ and $A \subseteq A \cap B$, by the principle of double inclusion, $A \cap B = A$.
Step 3: Visual Representation of the Equivalence
The following SVG illustrates the scenario where $A \subseteq B$, resulting in $A \cap B = A$.
Step 4: Formal Summary of Equivalent Conditions
The condition $A \cap B = A$ holds if and only if $A$ is a subset of $B$. This relationship is fundamentally defined by the behavior of elements residing in the intersection of two sets where the constraints of the subset relation are satisfied.
Final Solution: The condition $A \cap B = A$ is logically equivalent to $A \subseteq B$.

I am a passion driven tutor, with a rich experience of teaching students of intermediate level, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, in a real classroom environment at my residence, for nearly 6 years. I have taught about 10 to 16 students every year, during this period I used to enliven the students through practical examples from my field of service, to develop their fundamental concepts/interest and enthuse them to gain a deeper insight into the subject. I used to display reputed books of foreign authors to portray the concepts, through explanatory photos and diagrams, in the absence of electronic educational aids during that period (1993 to 1998). However, with the present state of Technology, invaluable resources from prestigious Universities/Institutions and the excellent facilities available on the UrbanPro Live Platform, I am sure, the students will have a rich learning experience I am very much a down to earth personality, with communication/conversational skills, adequate to engage with learners possessing varied interests. This skill enables me to interact with/counsel young learners to strengthen their skills to realize their various ambitions in Life. I introduce myself as an Engineering graduate with a Track of Professional experience in the field of Telecommunication, Power and Geo-sciences, with a brief supporting role in a Technological University, totally spanning over four decades till date. I will be organizing a free Demo Class for prospective students, who wish to apprise themselves of my personality and teaching methods. The schedule of the same will be put up on the UrbanPro Live Platform
