If P = {x : x < 3, x ∈ N}, Q = {x : x ≤ 2, x ∈ W}.

Question:

 If P = {x : x < 3, x ∈ N}, Q = {x : x ≤ 2, x ∈ W}. Find (P ∪ Q) × (P ∩ Q), where W is the set of whole numbers.

Solution:

According to the question,

P = {x: x < 3, x ∈N}, Q = {x : x ≤ 2, x ∈W} where W is the set of whole numbers

P = {1, 2}

Q = {0, 1, 2}

Now

(P∪Q) = {1, 2}∪{0, 1, 2} = {0, 1, 2}

And,

(P∩Q) = {1, 2}∩{0, 1, 2} = {1, 2}

We need to find the Cartesian product of (P∪Q) = {0, 1, 2} and (P∩Q) = {1, 2}

So,

(P∪Q) × (P∩Q) = {0, 1, 2} × {1, 2}

= {(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2)}

Hence, the Cartesian product = {(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2)}
