Suppose P and Q are equivalent sets and n(P)=17.
What is the minimum number of elements in P u Q?
Ans: 17 if each element of P is also an element of Q
------------------------------
What is the maximum?
Ans 34 if each element of P is different from those in Q
------------------------------
What is the minimum number of elements in P n Q?
Ans: 0 if each element of P is different from those in Q
---------------------------------
What is the maximum?
Ans: 17 if each element of P is also in Q
