Question

Set A contains 5 elements, Set B contains 10 elements, and 4 elements are common to both A and B. How many elements are in AUB? 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in the set. Consider two sets A and B. Then the intersection of these sets will contain those elements that are found in both A and B. The union of these two sets will contain all the elements in A and B without any repetition. The relation between the cardinality of union and intersection is given by the identity nAB=nA+nB-nAB.
