Given two sets of integers as two arrays of size m and n. Find count of minimum numbers that should be removed from the sets so that both set become disjoint or don’t contains any elements in common. We can remove elements from any set. We need to find minimum total elements to be removed.
Examples :
Input : set1[] = {20, 21, 22} set2[] = {22, 23, 24, 25} Output : 1 We need to remove at least 1 element which is 22 from set1 to make two sets disjoint. Input : set1[] = {20, 21, 22} set2[] = {22, 23, 24, 25, 20} Output : 2 Input : set1[] = {6, 7} set2[] = {12, 13, 14, 15} Output : 0
If we take a closer look at this problem, we can observe that the problem reduces to finding intersection of two sets.
A simple solution is iterate through every element of first set and for every element, check if it is present in second set. If present, increment count of elements to be removed.

An efficient solution is to use hashing. We create an empty hash and insert all items of set 1 in it. Now iterate through set 2 and for every element, check if it is present is hash. If present, increment count of elements to be removed.
