12. If A and B be non-empty sets and A × B= A × C then show that B=C -
Advance Math Class 10 - Exercise: 1.2
⇒ Let y be an arbitrary element of B
⇒ Therefore,
⇒ (x, y) Є A×B (ꓯ x Є A)
⇒ (x, y) Є A×C ( A×B = A×C)
⇒ y Є C …….(1)
⇒Again, Let x be any arbitrary element of C
⇒Therefore, x Є C
⇒ (y, x) Є A×C (ꓯ y Є A)
⇒ (y, x) Є A ×B (A×C= A ×B)
⇒ X Є B ……(2)
⇒ From (1) and (2), we get
⇒ B = C
