If A= 1,2,5,6 and B= 1,2,3 , then (A B) (B A) is equal to
Options
- A(1,1),(2,1),(6,1),(3,2)
- B(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,2)
- C(1,1),(2,2)
- D(1,1),(1,2),(2,5),(2,6)
Correct answer
B. (1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,2)
Step-by-step solution
Given sets A = 1, 2, 5, 6 and B = 1, 2, 3 . The Cartesian product A B consists of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a A and b B . The Cartesian product B A consists of all ordered pairs (b, a) where b B and a A . The intersection (A B) (B A) consists of all ordered pairs (x, y) such that (x, y) A B and (x, y) B A . This implies x A and x B , and y B and y A . Therefore, x A B and y A B . Calculating the intersection of the sets: A B = 1, 2, 5, 6 1, 2, 3 = 1, 2 . Thus, the intersection (A B) (B A) is (A B) (A B) = 1, 2
