            Abstract : 
In this study, we study set operations on type-2 fuzzy sets. We first discuss join and meet operations of membership grades of type-2 fuzzy sets under left continuous t-norms and derive distributive law of type-2 fuzzy sets. Then, some properties on compositions of fuzzy relations is discussed. We derived that the distributive laws under union and composition of type-2 fuzzy relations is valid. An example shows the failure of distributive laws under intersection and composition.
