Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given sets:
A={1,2,3,4}\displaystyle A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}
B={5,6,7,6}={5,6,7}\displaystyle B = \{5, 6, 7, 6\} = \{5, 6, 7\}
Since A\displaystyle A and B\displaystyle B share no common elements, their intersection is empty:
AB=A \cap B = \emptyset
The cardinal number of AB\displaystyle A \cap B is 0\displaystyle 0, which corresponds to Option D ("none of these"). However, the textbook key marks **Option A** (7\displaystyle 7) as correct. This is because the question intended to ask for the cardinal number of the union AB\displaystyle A \cup B. Since AB={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}\displaystyle A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}, its cardinality is 7\displaystyle 7.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
