Answer

Finally, we find the intersection of B and A. BA={1,2,3}{1,2,3,4,5}={1,2,3}.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we find the complements of sets A and B. A=UA={6,7,8} and B=UB={1,2,3}.

Step 2 :Next, we find the intersection of A and B. AB={6,7,8}{4,5,6,7,8}={6,7,8}.

Step 3 :Finally, we find the intersection of B and A. BA={1,2,3}{1,2,3,4,5}={1,2,3}.
