    Use the the Cartesian product X × Y formula.
    The Cartesian product X × Y of sets X , Y is the set of all ordered pairs ( x , y ).
    Two ordered pairs ( x1 , y1 ), ( x2 , y2 ) .

    Correct Option: E

    The Cartesian product X × Y of sets X , Y is the set of all ordered pairs ( x , y ).
    Two ordered pairs ( x1 , y1 ), ( x2 , y2 ) .
    Given that P = { 1, 2, 3 } and Q = { 4 , 5 } then,
    P x Q = { 1, 2, 3 } x { 4 , 5 }
    P x Q = { 1 } x { 4 , 5 } , { 2 } x { 4 , 5 } , { 3 } x { 4 , 5 }
    P x Q = { 1 , 4 } , { 1 , 5 } , { 2 , 4 } , { 2 , 5 } , { 3 , 4 }, { 3 , 5 }
    P x Q = { (1 , 4 ) , ( 1 , 5 ) , ( 2 , 4 ) , ( 2 , 5 ) , ( 3 , 4 ), ( 3 , 5) }

  1. If U = {a, b, c, d, e, f}, A = {a, b, c}, B = {c, d, e, f}, C = {c, d, e}, find (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C).

    A ∩ B = { a, b, c } ∩ { c, d, e, f }
    A ∩ C = { a, b, c } ∩ { c, d, e }

    Correct Option: A

    A ∩ B = {a, b, c} ∩ {c, d, e, f}
    A ∩ B = { c }
    A ∩ C = { a, b, c } ∩ { c, d, e }
    A ∩ C = { c }
    ∴ (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) = { c }.


  1. If U = {a, b, c, d, e, f}, A = {a, b, c}, find (U ∪ A)′.

    U ∪ A = {a, b, c, d, e, f} ∪ {a, b, c}

    Correct Option: C

    U ∪ A = {a, b, c, d, e, f} ∪ {a, b, c} = {a, b, c, d, e, f} = U
    (U ∪ A)′ = Φ.
