The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to prove that if \( n(A) = x \) and \( n(B) = y \) with \( A \cap B = \phi \) (meaning sets A and B are disjoint), then \( n(A \times B) = xy \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sets**: - We have two sets, \( A \) and \( B \). - The number of elements in set \( A \) is given as \( n(A) = x \). - The number of elements in set \( B \) is given as \( n(B) = y \). - The intersection of sets \( A \) and \( B \) is empty, which means \( A \) and \( B \) have no elements in common: \( A \cap B = \phi \). 2. **Definition of Cartesian Product**: - The Cartesian product \( A \times B \) is defined as the set of all ordered pairs \( (a, b) \) where \( a \) is an element of \( A \) and \( b \) is an element of \( B \). - Mathematically, \( A \times B = \{ (a, b) | a \in A, b \in B \} \). 3. **Calculating the Number of Elements in the Cartesian Product**: - To find the number of elements in the Cartesian product \( A \times B \), we use the formula: \[ n(A \times B) = n(A) \cdot n(B) \] - Since we know \( n(A) = x \) and \( n(B) = y \), we can substitute these values into the formula: \[ n(A \times B) = x \cdot y \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, we have shown that \( n(A \times B) = xy \). - Since the condition \( A \cap B = \phi \) does not affect the calculation of the Cartesian product, the statement is true. ### Final Answer: The statement is true: \( n(A \times B) = xy \). ---
