Solution

The correct option is A 165
A={x:x=2n, nN, n<100}={2,4,6,8,.....,198}B={x :x=3n, nN, n<100}={3,6,9,12,....,297}n(A)=n(B)=99The elements in A B will be all the elements of A and Btaken together, but the common elements will written only once. As common elements of A and B will be written twice while writing elements of A and B. Therefore, we subtract the number of common elements from the sum of number of elements in A and elements in B to get the number of elements in AB.n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)The elements in AB will be the common multiples of 2 and 3 which are less than 199.Common multiples of 2 and 3 are multiple of 6. So, AB will contain multiples of 6 less than 199.AB=(x: x=6n, nN, x<199}AB=(6, 12, 18, 24, ...., 198}n(AB)=33n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)n(AB)=99+9933=165
