If n(A)=3 and n(B)=7 and A B then the number of elements in A B is equal to
Options
- A0
- B7
- C3
- D10
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
Given that A B , every element of set A is also an element of set B . By definition of intersection, A B = x : x A and x B . Since A B , for any x A , it follows that x B . Therefore, A B = A . The number of elements in A B is equal to n(A B) = n(A) . Given n(A) = 3 , it follows that n(A B) = 3 . Answer: 3
