If R = {2, 4, 6, 7} and S = {1, 2, 4, 8} then R ∪ S equals

  1. A{1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8}
  2. B{1, 2, 4, 7, 8}
  3. C{1, 4, 7, 8}
  4. D{2, 6, 7}

Explanation

The union of two sets, R ∪ S, contains all unique elements present in either set R or set S. Combining R = {2, 4, 6, 7} and S = {1, 2, 4, 8} without repeating common elements gives {1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8}.
