The number of subsets of set A is twice to the number of subsets of set B.set B is larger than set C.number of subsets of set B is 15 more than number ofsubsets of set C.then find the number of subsets of set A.


TPS: are you sure it is 15 more?
prabhushettisan: yes sir
Ayeshafatima784: yes sir

Let number of elements in C = x
number of subsets of C = 2^x
Let number of elements in B = y
number of subsets of B = 2^y

according to question,
2^y - 2^x = 15
⇒ 2^y = 15+2^x
2^y is greater than 15. thus y must be greater than or equal to 4 as 2^4=16.

Thus for y=4 and x=0, it is satisfied.
So number of subsets of B = 2^4 = 16
number of subsets of A = 2*number of subsets of B = 2*16 = 32

prabhushettisan: sir number of elements in A not c (beginning)
prabhushettisan: why you took set c as 2^x
TPS: number of elements in set C are x. hence no. of its subset is 2^x.
prabhushettisan: please solve without removing brackets factorize 2y(y+z)-(x+y)(x+z)
devasodu: sir what do you meant by 2*16
TPS: 2 multiplied by 16
devasodu: thanku sir
TPS: :)
devasodu: sir what do you meant by 2^y
