Practise universal-and-empty-set questions by explaining what an empty intersection means in a list, Venn diagram or real context.
7E={23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34}A={ even numbers }B={23,29,31}C={ multiples of 3}
Is it true that B∩C=∅ ?
Tick ( ✓ ) one of the boxes below.

Give a reason for your answer.
The set D has 4 members and is such that D∩(A∪C)=∅
eg
1. Yes, no members/numbers/values in common
2. Yes, nothing in common
3. Yes, no common members/numbers/values
4. Yes, they share no common members/numbers/values
5. Yes, there is not the same members/numbers/values in both sets
6. Yes, there is no intersection or there is nothing in B and C
7. Yes, as there are no members/numbers/values the same (in B and C)
8. Yes, no members/numbers/values in B are in C or vice versa
9. Yes, there are no members/numbers in B that are multiples of 3
10. Yes, there are no members/numbers/values in that empty set
11. Yes, 23, 29, 31 not in C
12. Yes, 24, 27, 30, 33 are not in B
Allow sector for set
This is not an exhaustive list
Allow element(s) for members/numbers/values
Yes, there are no
multiples of 3 in set B1
B1 for Yes and a statement which indicates correct meanings of intersection and empty set.
If no box is ticked, then the 'Yes' must be stated in the answer
