Two finite sets have m and n elements respectively. The total number of subsets of first set is 56 more than the total number of subsets of the second set. The values of m and n respectively are:
A
7, 6
B
5, 1
C
6, 3
D
8, 7
Explanation
Let A and B be two sets, s.t, n(A) = m, n(B) = n. Thus, n(P(A)) = 2^m and n(P(B)) = 2^n. As per the question, n(P(A)) – n(P(B)) = 56 ⇒ 2^m – 2^n = 56 ⇒ 2^n(2^(m–n) – 1) = 64 – 8 = 2^6 – 2^3 = 2^3(2^3 – 1) ⇒ n = 3 and m – n = 3 ⇒ m = n + 3 = 6. Hence, m = 6, n = 3.
