Hints
A = {2,4,6,8,10,12}
B = {5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}
Notation like n(A) means "the number of values in set A".

is the intersection of sets A and B
It's the set of elements found in both sets
For example, if A = {p,q,r} and B = {r,s,t,p} then

To answer the problem's question, you should check every option. (a) To check if (a) is TRUE, calculate the number of elements in set B. (b) To check if (b) is TRUE, calculate the number of elements in set (A U B). (c) To check if (c) is TRUE, calculate the number of elements in set (A n B). (d) To check if (d) is TRUE, calculate the number of elements in set A. Each of listed exercises is extremely simple. Use your fingers as your helpers.
