Algebraic Topology | Part II, 2005

Let XX be a simplicial complex. Suppose X=B∪CX=B \cup C for subcomplexes BB and CC, and let A=B∩CA=B \cap C. Show that the inclusion of AA in BB induces an isomorphism H∗A→H∗BH_{*} A \rightarrow H_{*} B if and only if the inclusion of CC in XX induces an isomorphism H∗C→H∗XH_{*} C \rightarrow H_{*} X.
