If two subsets \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are selected at random from a set \(\mathrm{S}\) containing \(\mathrm{n}\) elements, then the probability that \(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}\) \(=\phi\) and \(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{S}\), is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2^n}\)
  2. B \(2^n\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2^{\mathrm{n}+1}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2^n \times 2^n}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{2^n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that \(S\) contains \(n\) elements and two sets \(A\) and \(B\) are selected. Two set \(A\) and \(B\) can be selected in \(2^n\) ways. The no. of ways of selecting two sets such that their union is \(S\) and intersection is \(2^n\). Therefore the probability…
