  • A {5,10}
  • B {5, 10, 15}
  • C {2, 5, 10}
  • D {5, 10, 15, 20}
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
X = {n2+1:n is a positive integer and 1 \(\leq\) n \(\leq\) 5}
Implies X = {2, 5, 10, 17, 26} i.e. put n= 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Y = {5n:n is a positive integer and 1 \(\leq\) n \(\leq\) 5}
Put X = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
Y = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}
X \(\cap\) Y = {2, 5, 10, 17, 26} \(\cap\) {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}
= {5, 10}
