Hi farhan and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?

Also, I've moved your post into a new thread so the topic discussion can easily be referenced by other members. In future, please post your questions in their own thread. :)

Our mission here at MHB is not to do your work, but to help you figure out how to do it, so you actually learn by being part of the process, rather than simply being given the answer.

If you are given two sets $A$ and $B$, then the union of those sets $A\cup B$ is the set containing all elements found in either $A$ or $B$, while the intersection $A\cap B$ of those sets is the set containing all elements found in $A$ and $B$.

For example, suppose we are given:

$$A=\{1,2,3\}$$

$$B=\{2,3,4\}$$

Then we have:

$$A\cup B=\{1,2,3,4\}$$

$$A\cap B=\{2,3\}$$

Can you now post some progress on your question?
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
