A ∩ B means:

Answer: Elements common to both A and B.

  • A Elements present in set A but not in B
  • B Elements present in either A or B or both
  • C Elements present in set B but not in A
  • D Elements common to both A and B

Correct answer: D. Elements common to both A and B

Explanation: Intersection A intersect B contains only those elements that belong to both A and B.

Set Operations: Union, Intersection, ComplementUABA∩BOutside both circles = (A∪B)' = A'∩B' (De Morgan)A∪B = everything in either circle; A∩B = only the overlap

A Venn diagram makes set identities visual: A∪B is everything inside either circle, A∩B is only the overlap, and the region outside both circles represents the complement of their union - directly illustrating De Morgan's law (A∪B)′ = A′∩B′.
