Answer

P = {x : x ∈ W and 4 ≤ x ≤ 8}

P = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Q = {x : x ∈ N and x < 6}

Q = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

(i) P ∪ Q - contains all the elements in both sets P and Q.

P ∪ Q = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8} ∪ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

P ∪ Q = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

P ∩ Q - contains all the common elements in both sets P and Q.

P ∩ Q = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8} ∩ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

P ∩ Q = {4, 5}

(ii) From (i) we can clearly see that every elements in P ∩ Q is also in P ∪ Q.

Hence, (P ∪ Q) ⊃ (P ∩ Q) is correct.
