which are clearly not equal.
(b) This is demonstrated by the following sets:
Here so that , and hence is not a proper subset of .
(c) Sets that contradict this assertion are shown below, in which is shaded:
Here clearly is a subset of and taken together (i.e. ), but also clearly is a subset of neither nor alone.
(d) Here is an example of sets that contradict this assertion, in which is shaded:
Clearly is a subset of , but neither B not C alone are subsets of .
