ques 3 ........ plz send its step by step solution 

3. Let A, B and C be sets.
(a) Suppose that ACBand BC C. Does this mean that AC C? Prove your answer. Hint: To
prove that ACC you must prove the implication, "for all x, if xEA then x€C."
(b) Suppose that A E B and BE C. Does this mean that A € C? Give an example to prove that
this does NOT always happen (and explain why your example works). You should be able to
give an example where |A| = |B| = |C| = 2.
