Well $\min\{n(A),n(B)\}=7$

I know what you mean but somehow that bold number is the answer

I have a question for you.
What does $n(\varepsilon)$ mean?
In forty years, I have never seen that symbol.

Yes, 7 is the correct answer.
Because $A\cap B\subseteq B$ that forces $n(A\cap B)\le n(B)$.

i think it represents number of elements in the universal set.

Universal set, so is my answer right or wrong? I just don't get it!!!!

Edit: ok.. it's good to hear that my answer was correct, had been thinking for a long while before approaching to this forum. I thought that I could never doubt the system.
