If \(n(A)=3\) and \(n(B)=7\) and \(A \subseteq B\) then the number of elements in \(A \cap B\) is equal to

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B \(7\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that \(A \subseteq B\), every element of set \(A\) is also an element of set \(B\). By definition of intersection, \(A \cap B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \in B\}\). Since \(A \subseteq B\), for any \(x \in A\), it follows that \(x \in B\). Therefore, \(A \cap B = A\).…
