(i) n(A - B) = n(A ∪ B) - n(B)
(ii) n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B)

Lets take the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
and set B = {2, 4, 6}
(i) n(A - B) = n(A ∪ B) - n(B)
A - B - contains all the elements in set A but not in B.
A - B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} - {2, 4, 6}
A - B = {1, 3, 5}
n(A - B) = 3
A ∪ B - contains all the elements in set A and B.
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ∪ {2, 4, 6}
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(A ∪ B) = 6
n(B) = 3
Taking LHS : n(A - B)
n(A - B) = 3
Taking RHS : n(A ∪ B) - n(B)
n(A ∪ B) - n(B) = 6 - 3
n(A ∪ B) - n(B) = 3
∴ LHS = RHS
∴ n(A - B) = n(A ∪ B) - n(B)
(ii) n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B)
A ∩ B - contains all the common elements in set A and B.
A ∩ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ∩ {2, 4, 6}
A ∩ B = {2, 4, 6}
n(A ∩ B) = 3
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(A ∪ B) = 6
n(A) = 6
n(B) = 3
Taking LHS:
n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∪ B)
n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∪ B) = 3 + 6
n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∪ B) = 9
Taking RHS:
n(A) + n(B)
n(A) + n(B) = 6 + 3
n(A) + n(B) = 9
∴ LHS = RHS
∴ n(A ∩ B) + n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B)
