Options:
  • A $A \cup B=N$
  • B The complement of $(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})$ is an infinite set
  • C $\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}$ must be a finite set
  • D $A \cap B$ must be a proper subset of $\left\{m^{6}: m \in N\right\}$

The correct answer is: $A \cup B=N$
Let $\mathrm{A}=\left\{n^{2}: n \in \mathrm{N}\right\}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\left\{n^{3}: n \in \mathrm{N}\right\}$
$\mathrm{A}=\{1,4,9,16, \ldots . .\}$
and $\mathrm{B}=\{1,8,27,64, \ldots \ldots\}$
Now, $\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}=\{1\}$ which is a finite set.
Also, $\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}=\{1,4,8,9,27, \ldots . .\}$
So, complement of $\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}$ is infinite set. Hence, $\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B} \neq \mathrm{N}$
