Q105 / 200 · Manipal (MET) 2011 · Mathematics

Let $A=\left\{(x, y): y=e^x, x \in R\right\}$ and $B=\left\{(x, y): y=e^{-x,} x \in R\right\}$. Then,

  • A
    $A \cap B=\phi$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $A \cap B \neq \phi$
  • C
    $A \cup B=R^2$
  • D
    None of these

Solution

Given sets are $\begin{aligned} & A=\left\{(x, y): y=e^x, x \in R\right\} \text { and } \\ & B=\left\{(x, y): y=e^{-x}, x \in R\right\}\end{aligned}$
Figure
It is clear from the graph that two curves intersect at one point. $\therefore \quad A \cap B \neq \phi$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
