Practicing Success
Let A and B be two non-empty sets having n elements in common. Then, the number of elements common to $A×B$ and $B×A$ is |
$2n$ $n$ $n^2$ none of these |
$n^2$ |
We know that $(A × B)∩(C × D) = (A∩C) × (B∩D)$ $∴(A × B)∩(B × A) = (A∩B) × (B∩A)$ $⇒(A × B)∩(B × A) = (A∩B) × (A∩B)$ It is given that $A∩B$ has n elements. $∴(A∩B) × (A∩B)$ has $n^2$ elements. But, $(A× B)∩(B × A) = (A∩B) × (A∩B)$ $∴(A× B)∩(B × A)$ has $n^2$ elements in common. |
