Step 1: (a) M x N

To find M x N, we will create ordered pairs where the first element is from set M and the second element is from set N. M = {1, 2} N = {p, q} M x N = {(1, p), (1, q), (2, p), (2, q)}

Step 2: (b) N x M

To find N x M, we will reverse the order of the elements in the pairs. Now, the first element will be from set N and the second element will be from set M. N x M = {(p, 1), (p, 2), (q, 1), (q, 2)}

Step 3: (c) M x M

To find M x M, we will again create ordered pairs, but in this case both elements in the pair will come from set M. M x M = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2)}
