Let X be a set (P(X), Δ,∩) where P(X) is the power set of X, and Δ is the symmetric difference.
It has unity, and either 1R = ∅ or 1R = X. Figure out which one it is and explain why.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Definition used and given.

Unity: Let R, +,  be a ring. If the semi-group R,  has identity element then it is called as unity of a ring R, +, .

Given: P(X), , , where P(X) is a power set of a set X and  is the symmetric difference.
