DISJOINT SETS

Disjoint Set

Where X Y = φ, if  X & Y are called disjoint set when both the set don’t have any common member.

Example -1

Let, X = { 5, 6, 7, 8 } , Y = { 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 },  Z = { 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 }

Then,  X Y = { 5, 6, 7, 8 } { 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 }  =  φ , so X & Y are disjoint set

            X Z = { 5, 6, 7, 8 } { 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 } φ , so X & Z are disjoint set

            Y Z = { 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 }  { 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 } = { 14, 16, 18 } , so Y & Z are not disjoint set.
