VI. If $A = \{ x| x \in \mathcal{N}, 3 < x < 10\}$, and if $B = \{ x| x =4a-1, a<5, a \in \mathcal{N}\}$ and if $C = \{ x | x = 3a+2, a<7, a \in \mathcal{N}\}$, then confirm the following: (i) the commutative property of the unions of sets B and C (ii) the commutative property of intersection of two sets A and C (iii) the associative property of the union of the sets A, B and C (iv) the associative property of intersection of sets A, B and C.

VII. If $A = \{ x | x \in \mathcal{N}, 4 \leq x \leq 12\}$, and $B = \{ x| x = a+1, a<8, a \in \mathcal{N}\}$, and $C= \{ x| x =2n, 1 < n <7, n \in |mathcal{N}\}$, then find (i) $A-B$ (ii) $B-C$ (iii) $B \bigcap C$ (iv) $A - (B \bigcap C)$ (v) $B - (A \bigcap C)$ (vi) $A-C$ (vii) $A- (B-C)$ (viii) $A- (B \bigcup C)$

VIII. If $\xi = \{ x | x \hspace{0.1in}is \hspace{0.1in} a \hspace{0.1in} letter \hspace{0.1in}of \hspace{0.1in}the \hspace{0.1in} English \hspace{0.1in} alphabet \hspace{0.1in} between \hspace{0.1in} but \hspace{0.1in} not \hspace{0.1in} including \hspace{0.1in} d \hspace{0.1in} and \hspace{0.1in} o\}$, and let $A = \{ l, m , n\}$ and let $B= \{ e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l\}$, and let $C = \{ j,k,l,m\}$, find (i) $\overline{A} \bigcup \overline{B}$ (ii) $\overline{B} \bigcap \overline{C}$ (iii) $A \bigcap C$ (iv) $B - (A \bigcap C)$ (v) $\overline{B-A}$ (vi) Is $(B-C) \subset (B-A)$? (vii) Is $\overline{A} \bigcap \overline{B} = \phi$?

IX. All 26 customers in a restaurant had either drinks, snacks, or dinner. 18 had snacks, out of which 6 had only snacks, 4 had snacks and drinks but not dinner, 2 had drinks and dinner but not snacks, and 3 had snacks and dinner but not drinks. If 14 customers had drinks, find (i) how many customers had all three — drinks, snacks as well as dinner. (ii) how many customers had dinner but neither snacks nor drinks (iii) how many customers had only drinks.
