Final answer:

We can conclude specific information about sets A and B based on the given statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer the question, we will analyze each statement individually:

  1. AUB = A means that the union of sets A and B is equal to set A. This implies that set B is a subset of set A.
  2. A ∩ B = A means that the intersection of sets A and B is equal to set A. This implies that set A is a subset of set B.
  3. AnB = B ∩ A means that the intersection of sets A and B is equal to the intersection of sets B and A.
  4. A B = BA means that the concatenation of sets A and B is equal to the concatenation of sets B and A.

Based on these statements, we can conclude the following:

  1. If AUB = A, then set B is a subset of set A.
  2. If A ∩ B = A, then set A is a subset of set B.
  3. If AnB = B ∩ A, then the intersection of sets A and B is the same as the intersection of sets B and A.
  4. If A B = BA, then the concatenation of sets A and B is the same as the concatenation of sets B and A.
