Answer:

a) 2nd is a subset of 1st

b) 2nd is a subset of 1st

c) Neither is a subset

Explanation:

a) The 1st set is of people speaking English and 2nd set is of people speaking English with Australian accent

A={People who speaks English}

B={People who speaks English with Australian accent}

As the set of people speaking English is greater than people speaking English with Australian accent so B⊂A that is B is contained in A.

So, 2nd is a subset of 1st.

b)The 1st set is of fruits and 2nd set is of citrus fruits

A={Fruits}

B={Citrus fruits}

As the set of fruits is greater than citrus fruit so B⊂A that is B is contained in A.

So, 2nd is a subset of 1st.

c) The 1st set is of student studying discrete Mathematics and 2nd set is of student studying data structures

A={student of discrete Mathematics}

B={student of data structures}

As both sets can be greater than the other so B⊄A or A⊄B that neither event is contained in the other.

So, neither is a subset of the other
