Extension of measures by adding one extra set

Suppose that $mu$ is a measure on a measurable set $(X,mathcal{B})$.
And suppose that $Asubseteq X$ is not in $mathcal{B}$.
Is there a measure $mu'$ on the $sigma$-algebra generated by $mathcal{B}cup {A}$ that coincide with $mu$ on $mathcal{B}$ and is such that $mu'(A)=0$ ?

Thanks for the link, but it seems the question there doesn't require the value zero on $A$. The answer there also doesn't show why the "K" must exist.

It is possible if $inf{mu(B):Asubset B, Binmathcal{B}}=0$.

Borrowing from the above link:
Let $a := sup{mu(B) : B subseteq A, B in mathcal{B}}$. There exists $K$ satisfying $K subseteq A$ and $K in mathcal{B}$ and $mu(K) = a$,
(namely, $K := bigcup_{B in mathcal{B} : B subseteq A} B)$.
Note that the new $sigma$-algebra can be expressed as ${(B_1 cap A) cup (B_2 cap A^c) : B_1, B_2 in mathcal{B}}$.
We define $mu'((B_1 cap A) cup (B_2 cap A^c)) := mu(B_1 cap K) + mu(B_2 cap K^c)$. One can check that $mu'$ is a measure, that $mu'(B) = mu(B)$ for $B in mathcal{B}$, and that $mu'(A) = mu(K) = a$. So if $a$ (as defined above) is zero (which I believe is equivalent to the condition in d.k.o.'s comment above), then this construction gives you what you want.
