Question:

If \( A = \{ x : x { is a multiple of 4} \} \) and \( B = \{ x : x { is a multiple of 6} \} \), then \( A \cap B \) consists of multiples of:

Show Hint

To find the intersection of two sets of multiples, calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers. The intersection will consist of all multiples of the LCM.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The set \( A \) consists of all multiples of 4, i.e., \( A = \{ 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, \dots \} \). 
The set \( B \) consists of all multiples of 6, i.e., \( B = \{ 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, \dots \} \). 
The intersection of sets \( A \) and \( B \), denoted as \( A \cap B \), consists of all elements that are common to both sets. 
To find the common multiples of 4 and 6, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6. 
The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. Therefore, \( A \cap B \) consists of all multiples of 12. Thus, the correct answer is Option B (12).
