(i) If A and B sets have 2 and 5 elements respectively, then find the minimum and maximum number of elements in `A cup B`
(ii) If A and B have 4 and 6 elements respectively, then find the minimum and maximum number of elements in `A cap B`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will break it down into two parts as specified. ### Part (i): Finding Minimum and Maximum of \( A \cup B \) 1. **Identify the number of elements in sets A and B:** - Let \( |A| = 2 \) (number of elements in set A) - Let \( |B| = 5 \) (number of elements in set B) 2. **Use the formula for the union of two sets:** \[ |A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B| \] 3. **Determine the maximum value of \( |A \cap B| \):** - The maximum number of common elements (intersection) cannot exceed the number of elements in the smaller set, which is set A. - Thus, \( |A \cap B|_{\text{max}} = 2 \). 4. **Calculate the minimum number of elements in \( A \cup B \):** \[ |A \cup B|_{\text{min}} = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|_{\text{max}} = 2 + 5 - 2 = 5 \] 5. **Determine the minimum value of \( |A \cap B| \):** - The minimum number of common elements can be zero (if there are no common elements). - Thus, \( |A \cap B|_{\text{min}} = 0 \). 6. **Calculate the maximum number of elements in \( A \cup B \):** \[ |A \cup B|_{\text{max}} = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|_{\text{min}} = 2 + 5 - 0 = 7 \] **Final Results for Part (i):** - Minimum number of elements in \( A \cup B = 5 \) - Maximum number of elements in \( A \cup B = 7 \) --- ### Part (ii): Finding Minimum and Maximum of \( A \cap B \) 1. **Identify the number of elements in sets A and B:** - Let \( |A| = 4 \) (number of elements in set A) - Let \( |B| = 6 \) (number of elements in set B) 2. **Use the formula for the intersection of two sets:** \[ |A \cap B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cup B| \] 3. **Determine the maximum value of \( |A \cup B| \):** - The maximum number of elements in the union occurs when all elements are distinct. - Thus, \( |A \cup B|_{\text{max}} = |A| + |B| = 4 + 6 = 10 \). 4. **Calculate the minimum number of elements in \( A \cap B \):** \[ |A \cap B|_{\text{min}} = |A| + |B| - |A \cup B|_{\text{max}} = 4 + 6 - 10 = 0 \] 5. **Determine the minimum value of \( |A \cup B| \):** - The minimum number of elements in the union occurs when there is maximum overlap. - If all elements of A are also in B, then \( |A \cup B|_{\text{min}} = 6 \) (the number of elements in B). 6. **Calculate the maximum number of elements in \( A \cap B \):** \[ |A \cap B|_{\text{max}} = |A| + |B| - |A \cup B|_{\text{min}} = 4 + 6 - 6 = 4 \] **Final Results for Part (ii):** - Minimum number of elements in \( A \cap B = 0 \) - Maximum number of elements in \( A \cap B = 4 \) ---
