Let U = {1, 2, …,n} and A = {(x, X)∣ x∈X, X⊆U }. Consider the following two statements on ∣A∣.
Which of the above statements is/are TRUE?
(A) Only I
(B) Only II
(C) Both I and II
(D) Neither I nor II
Answer: (C)
Explanation: Given, A = {(x, X)∣ x∈X, X⊆U }, where U = {1, 2, …,n}.
As we know that The number of k element subsets of a set U with n elements = nCk.
The number of possible ordered pairs (x, X) where x ∈ X is k⋅ nCk for a given value of k from 1 to n. So total number of ordered pairs in A,
So, both given statements are correct.
Option (C) is true.
