The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the intersection of the sets A and B, where: - Set A consists of all integral multiples of 3. - Set B consists of all integral multiples of 5. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Sets:** - Set A (multiples of 3): A = { ..., -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ... } - Set B (multiples of 5): B = { ..., -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ... } 2. **Identify the Intersection:** - The intersection of two sets, denoted as A ∩ B, includes all elements that are common to both sets. 3. **Find Common Multiples:** - To find the common multiples of 3 and 5, we need to look for numbers that can be expressed as both 3n (for some integer n) and 5m (for some integer m). - The smallest number that is a multiple of both 3 and 5 is their least common multiple (LCM). 4. **Calculate the LCM of 3 and 5:** - The LCM of two numbers can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{LCM}(a, b) = \frac{|a \times b|}{\text{GCD}(a, b)} \] - For 3 and 5: - GCD(3, 5) = 1 (since 3 and 5 are coprime) - Therefore, \[ \text{LCM}(3, 5) = \frac{3 \times 5}{1} = 15 \] 5. **Conclusion:** - The intersection A ∩ B consists of all integral multiples of 15. - Therefore, A ∩ B = { ..., -30, -15, 0, 15, 30, 45, ... } ### Final Answer: The set A ∩ B is the set of all integral multiples of **15**. ---
