Answer 1

what is the definition of UNION of sets?

Answer 2

Yes to solve this question you need to know what the word Union actually means in terms of mathematics.

Answer 3

Union of two sets The union of two sets is everything in both sets. For example if you have the set {3,4,5} and the set {5,6,7}, then the union of these two sets is {3,4,5,6,7}. The symbol for union is a capital U.

Courtsey of Google :P

Answer 4

ALL the elements in set A combined with all the elements in set B.
Example:When A={1,2,3,4} and B={2,3,6}

The union of Sets A and B would be: {1,2,3,4,6} , because both sets contain those numbers.
