Ans: Given: $A = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4\}$ and $B = \{ 5, 7, 9\}$
Use the Cartesian product.
${{A }} \times {{ B = \{ (1, 5), (1, 7), (1, 9), (2, 5), (2, 7), (2, 9), (3, 5), (3, 7), (3, 9), (4, 5), (4, 7), (4, 9)\} }}{{.}}$

${{B }} \times {{ A = \{ (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (7, 1), (7, 2), (7, 3), (7, 4), (9, 1), (9, 2), (9, 3), (9, 4)\} }}{{.}}$
Ans: Given: $A = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4\}$ and $B = \{ 5, 7, 9\}$
Use the Cartesian product.v
${{A }} \times {{ B }} \ne {{ B }} \times {{ A}}$ as the ordered pairs are different.
Ans: Given: $A = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4\}$ and $B = \{ 5, 7, 9\}$
Use the Cartesian product.
Here,
${{n(A }} \times {{ B) = n(B }} \times {{ A) }}$
$\Rightarrow {{ n(A) }}{{. n(B) = 4 }} \times {{ 3}}$
$\Rightarrow {{ n(A) }}{{. n(B) = 12}}{{.}}$
