The problem asks to find the number of elements in the intersection of sets $P$ and $Q$, denoted as $n(P \cap Q)$. Set $P$ is defined as $\{x : 1 \le x \le 6\}$, where $x$ is an integer. Set $Q$ is defined as $\{x : 2 < x < 10\}$, where $x$ is an integer.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the number of elements in the intersection of sets PP and QQ, denoted as n(PQ)n(P \cap Q). Set PP is defined as {x:1x6}\{x : 1 \le x \le 6\}, where xx is an integer. Set QQ is defined as {x:2<x<10}\{x : 2 < x < 10\}, where xx is an integer.

2. Solution Steps

First, we list the elements of set PP. Since xx is an integer and 1x61 \le x \le 6, we have P={1,2,3,4,5,6}P = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}.
Next, we list the elements of set QQ. Since xx is an integer and 2<x<102 < x < 10, we have Q={3,4,5,6,7,8,9}Q = \{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}.
Now, we find the intersection of sets PP and QQ, which is PQP \cap Q. The intersection contains elements that are present in both sets. Comparing the elements of PP and QQ, we have PQ={3,4,5,6}P \cap Q = \{3, 4, 5, 6\}.
Finally, we find the number of elements in the intersection PQP \cap Q. The set PQP \cap Q contains 4 elements. Therefore, n(PQ)=4n(P \cap Q) = 4.
