If $m(E)=m_*(E_1)+m_*(E_2)$ , then $E_1$ and $E_2$ are measurable

$begingroup$



Suppose $E$ is measurable with $m(E) lt infty$ , and $$E=E_1 cup E_2 , E_1 cap E_2 text{is empty}$$ Show that if $m(E)=m_*(E_1)+m_*(E_2)$ , then $E_1$ and $E_2$ are measurable.




My attempt:

Since $E_2=E-E_1$ , it suffice to prove $E_1$ is measurable . And for $E_1$ , since $m_*(E_1)le m(E) lt infty$ , for any $epsilon$ , we can find an open set $O$ such taht $E_1 subset O$ and $m(O)-m_*(E_1) lt epsilon$ , but how to show that $m_*(O-E_1)lt epsilon$ ?

          Let $epsilon>0$ be arbitrarily given and $U_i$, $i=1,2$ be open sets such that $E_isubset U_i$ and $$
          m_*E_ile mU_i<m_*E_i +epsilon
          $$
          for $i=1,2$. Since $
          Esubset U_1cup U_2,
          $
          we have $$
          mE leq m(U_1cup U_2)=mU_1+mU_2-m(U_1cap U_2).
          $$
          This gives $m(U_1cap U_2)le mU_1+mU_2-mE<2epsilon$ by the assumption that $mE=m_*E_1+m_* E_2$. Now, observe that
          $$
          U_isetminus E_i subset left(U_1cap U_2right)cup left(left(U_1cup U_2right)setminus Eright).
          $$
          This implies
          $$begin{eqnarray}
          m_*(U_isetminus E_i)&le& m_*left( left(U_1cap U_2right)cup left(left(U_1cup U_2right)setminus Eright)right)\
          &le& m(U_1cap U_2)+m(left(U_1cup U_2right)setminus E)\
          &le& 2epsilon +m(U_1cup U_2)-mE\
          &le& 2epsilon + mU_1+mU_2-mE<4epsilon.
          end{eqnarray}$$
          Since $epsilon>0$ was arbitrary, it says that $E_i$ are measurable for $i=1,2$.

            m_*E_ile mU_i<m_*E_i +epsilon

            This gives $m(U_1cap U_2)le mU_1+mU_2-mE<2epsilon$ by the assumption that $mE=m_*E_1+m_* E_2$. Now, observe that

            U_isetminus E_i subset left(U_1cap U_2right)cup left(left(U_1cup U_2right)setminus Eright).

            This implies
