NIMCET 2014 — Mathematics PYQ
NIMCET | Mathematics | 2014If the sets A and B are defined as A={(x,y)∣y=1/x,0=x∈R}, B={(x,y)∣y=−x∈R} then:
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
A∩B=ϕ
(Correct Answer) - B.
A∩B=B
- C.
A∩B=A
- D.
None of these
A∩B=ϕ
Explanation
Concept:
-
A∪B means set of all the values in the set A and B.
-
A∩B is the set of common elements of A and B.
Calculation:
Given sets:
A={(x,y)∣y=1/x,0=x∈R} and B={(x,y)∣y=−x∈R}
For any value of x∈R and x=0:
-
In set A, the element will be (x,1/x).
-
In set B, the element will be (x,−x).
For A∩B:
x1=−x
⇒x2=−1
Which is not possible for any x∈R.
∴A∩B=ϕ
