Question and options

Let AA and BB be two sets such that the Cartesian product A×BA \times B consists of four elements. If two elements of A×BA \times B are (1,4)(1,4) and (4,1)(4,1), then
  1. None of the given options is correct
  2. A×B≠B×AA \times B \neq B \times A
  3. ∅∈A×B\emptyset \in A \times B
  4. A×B=B×AA \times B=B \times A

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - \(A \times B=B \times A\)
(1,4),(4,1) in A x B means 1,4 in A and 4,1 in B; |A||B|=4 forces A=B={1,4}, so A x B = B x A.
