Question
If cardinality of (A U B) = cardinality of A+ cardinality of B. This means ____________
a. B is a subset of A
b. None of the mentioned
c. A is a subset of B
d. A and B are disjoint
Solution
d. A and B are disjoint
Explanation: The cardinality of (A U B) is equal to the cardinality of A plus the cardinality of B only when sets A and B are disjoint. This means that they do not have any elements in common. If there were common elements, then the cardinality of (A U B) would be less than the sum of the cardinalities of A and B, because the common elements would be counted twice in the sum.
