If sets A and B are defined as

\[ A=\{(x,y):y=\frac1x,\ 0\ne x\in R\} \]

\[ B=\{(x,y):y=-x,\ x\in R\} \]

then

(a) \(A\cap B=A\)

(b) \(A\cap B=B\)

(c) \(A\cap B=\phi\)

(d) \(A\cup B=A\)

Solution

For intersection,

\[ \frac1x=-x \]

\[ 1=-x^2 \]

\[ x^2=-1 \]

There is no real value of \(x\) satisfying this equation.

Therefore, the two sets have no common element.

Answer

\[ \boxed{A\cap B=\phi} \]

Correct option: (c)
