![[asy] defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)); draw(Circle(origin, 5)); draw(Circle((5,0), 5)); label("$A$", (0,5), N); label("$B$", (5,5), N); label("$1001$", (2.5, -0.5), N);[/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/f/d/bfdb09b66054973cff11a173317d646fe1d66de1.png)
Solution
Lets make x be the number of elements in A and B which is equal.
Then we could form equation 2x-1001 = 2007
2x = 3008
x = 1504
The answer is C
