Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

A number in A ∩ B must be divisible by both 2 and 3. Such numbers are multiples of lcm(2, 3) = 6. Within U, the multiples are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36. There are 36 ÷ 6 = 6 such numbers, so n(A ∩ B) = 6. The other choices count a different set or do not use the common condition.
