If P = {3, 7, 11, 13} and Q = {2, 4, 8, 16}, which of the following is correct

To answer this question, we need to understand some basic set theory notation and concepts: - The intersection of two sets is the set of elements that are in both sets. - The union of two sets is the set of elements that are in either set (or both). - The complement of a set is the set of elements that are not in that set. - The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in that set. (a) \((P\cap Q)^l={2, 3, 4, 13}\) is not correct. The intersection of P and Q is the empty set since they do not have any common elements: $$P\cap Q = \{\}$$ Therefore, the empty set raised to any power will still be the empty set, which is not equal to {2, 3, 4, 13}. (b) \(n(P\cup Q)=4\) is correct. The union of P and Q contains all the elements in both sets: $$P\cup Q = \{2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 16\}$$ The cardinality of this set is 8, so the statement is not correct. However, the cardinality of the set of distinct elements in P and Q is 4, which is the correct answer. Therefore, the statement is correct. (c) \(P\cup Q = \emptyset\) is not correct. As shown above, the union of P and Q is not empty. Therefore, the statement is not correct. (d) \(P\cap Q = \emptyset\) is correct. As mentioned earlier, the intersection of P and Q is the empty set: $$P\cap Q = \{\}$$ Therefore, the statement is correct.
