### Set Theory Problems with Venn Diagrams

**Problem (d)**
Let \( A, B, C \) be sets. Then,
\[ (A \cup B) \cap C = A \cup (B \cap C). \]
True or False? Use a Venn Diagram to explain your answer.

**Solution:**
To determine whether the equation is true or false, we can analyze it using a Venn Diagram:

1. **Venn Diagram for \( (A \cup B) \cap C \):**
   - Start by drawing a Venn Diagram with three intersecting circles labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).
   - The union \( A \cup B \) includes all elements that are in either \( A \) or \( B \) or in both.
   - The intersection \( (A \cup B) \cap C \) includes all elements of \( C \) that are also in \( A \cup B \).

2. **Venn Diagram for \( A \cup (B \cap C) \):**
   - The intersection \( B \cap C \) includes all elements that are in both \( B \) and \( C \).
   - The union \( A \cup (B \cap C) \) includes all elements in \( A \) or in the intersection of \( B \) and \( C \).

By comparing the two diagrams, we can see if the regions shaded in both diagrams (representing the sets) are identical:

\[ \Rightarrow (A \cup B) \cap C \neq A \cup (B \cap C) \]

Therefore, the statement is **False**.

**Problem (e)**
Let \( A \) and \( B \) be sets. Then,
\[ A - (A - B) = A \cap B. \]
True or False? Why? Explain your answer.

**Solution:**
To determine whether the equation is true or false, let’s analyze it logically:

1. \( A - (A - B) \):
   - \( (A - B) \) represents the set of elements that are in \( A \) but not in \( B \).
   - \( A - (A - B) \) represents the set of elements that are in \( A \) but not in \( (A - B) \).

2. \( A \cap B \
