    Suppose,

    (C - A) ∩ (B - A) ≠ ∅

    Let x is an element of (C - A) ∩ (B - A),

    That is, x ∈ (C - A) ∩ (B - A),

    ⇒ x ∈ C - A and x ∈ B - A

    ⇒ x ∈ C, x ∉ A and x ∈ B, x ∉ A

    ⇒ x ∈ B ∩ C and x ∉ A

    ⇒ B ∩ C ⊄ A

    But we have given,

    B ∩ C ⊂ A

    Therefore, our assumption is wrong,

    And, there is no common elements in (C - A) and (B-A),

    That is, (C - A) ∩ (B - A) = ∅

    Hence proved ...
