Answer:

We have:

A={1,3,6,8,9,12,15}

B={6,9,12}

Let's analyze the statements:

1) B is the complement of A​:

The complement of a set W is the set with all the elements in the universal set that do not belong to the set W, in this case, you can see that the 3 elements of set B do also belong to set A, then this statement is false.

2) A and B are disjoint sets:

Two sets are disjoint if they do not share any element, in this case, the 3 elements of B also belong to A, then the sets share elements, which means that the sets are not disjoint, so this statement is false.

3) A∩B=∅

A∩B is the set of all the common elements of A and B, in this case we have:

A∩B = {6, 9, 12}

Then the statement is false.

4) BUA = A

BUA is the union of set A and B, and it's defined as the combination of all elements of A and B (such that there are no repeated elements)

Or we can write this as:

A + B - A∩B = {6,9,12} + {1,3,6,8,9,12,15} - {6,9,12}

= {1,3,6,8,9,12,15} = A

Then BUA = A

This is true.
