Question:

If $A=\left\{(x, y): y=\frac{1}{x}, 0 \neq x \in R\right\}$ and $B=\{(x, y): y=-x, x \in R\}$, then

Options:

$A \cap B=A$

$A \cap B=B$

$A \cap B=\varphi$

None of these

Correct Answer:

$A \cap B=\varphi$

Explanation:

Y = 1/X  or  XY = 1.

So A is the set of all points on the rectangular hyperbola xy = 1 with branches in I and III quadrants. y = –x represents a line with slope –1 and c is equal to 0.

Therefore B is the set of all points on this line. Since the graphs of xy = 1 and y = –x are non intersecting, we have A ∩ B = φ

Hence (3) is the correct answer.
