Determine the smallest possible value of ∣A1∪A2∪A3∪A4∪A5∣, where A1,A2,A3,A4,A5 sets simultaneously satisfying the following conditions:
(i) ∣Ai∩Aj∣=1 for all 1≤i<j≤5, i.e. any two distinct sets contain exactly one element in common;
(ii) Ai∩Aj∩Ak∩Al=∅ for all 1≤i<j<k<l≤5, i.e. any four different sets contain no common element.
Where ∣S∣ means the number of elements of S.
