Sets Relations And Functions Question 66

Question: If $ A=

[(x,,y):x^{2}+y^{2}=25] $ and B = $ [(x,,y):x^{2}+9y^{2}=144] $ , then $ A\cap B $ contains [AMU 1996; Pb. CET 2002]

Options:

A) One point

B) Three points

C) Two points

D) Four points

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • A = Set of all values (x, y) : $ x^{2}+y^{2}=25=5^{2} $ B = $ \frac{x^{2}}{144}+\frac{y^{2}}{16}=1 $ i.e., $ \frac{x^{2}}{{{(12)}^{2}}} $ + $ \frac{y^{2}}{{{(4)}^{2}}}=1 $ . Clearly, A Ç B consists of four points.
