If x = {n2+1:n is a positive integer and 1 \(\leq\) n \(\leq\) 5},
Y = {5n:n is a positive integer and 1 \(\leq\) n \(\leq\) 5}, find x \(\cap\) y.
A
{5,10}
B
{5, 10, 15}
C
{2, 5, 10}
D
{5, 10, 15, 20}
correct option: a

X = {n2+1:n is a positive integer and 1 (\leq) n (\leq) 5}

Implies X = {2, 5, 10, 17, 26} i.e. put n= 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Y = {5n:n is a positive integer and 1 (\leq) n (\leq) 5}

Put X = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

Y = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}

X (\cap) Y = {2, 5, 10, 17, 26} (\cap) {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}

= {5, 10}
