Question
If A and B are two set having 3 elements in common. If n(A) = 5, n(B) = 4, find n(A × B) and $\text{n}\big[(\text{A}\times\text{B})\cap(\text{B}\times\text{A})\big]$

Answer

We have,
n(A) = 5 and n(B) = 4
We know that, if A and B are two finite sets n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B)
$\therefore$ n(A × B) = 5 × 4 = 20
Now,
$\text{n}\big[(\text{A}\times\text{B})\cap(\text{B}\times\text{A})\big]=3\times3=9$ $\big[\because$ A and B have 3 elements in common$\big]$
