If $A$, $B$ and $C$ are three sets such that $A \cap B = A \cap C$ and $A \cup B = A \cup C$, then :
(A) $A = C$
(B) $B = C$
(C) $A \cap B = \phi$
(D) $A = B$

Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Given $A \cap B = A \cap C$ and $A \cup B = A \cup C$. From the principle of inclusion-exclusion: $|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|$ and $|A \cup C| = |A| + |C| - |A \cap C|$. Since $A \cup B = A \cup C$ and $A \cap B = A \cap C$, then $|A \cup B| = |A \cup C|$ and $|A \cap B| = |A \cap C|$. Thus, $|A| + |B| - |A \cap B| = |A| + |C| - |A \cap C|$. This simplifies to $|B| = |C|$. Since $A \cap B = A \cap C$ and $A \cup B = A \cup C$, it means that $B$ and $C$ contain the same elements and therefore are equal to each other ($B=C$).

Let the relations $R_1$ and $R_2$ on the set $X = \{1, 2, 3, ..., 20\}$ be given by $R_1 = \{(x, y) : 2x - 3y = 2\}$ and $R_2 = \{(x, y) : -5x + 4y = 0\}$. If $M$ and $N$ be the minimum number of elements required to be added in $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, in order to make the relations symmetric, then $M + N$ equals
