Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 7, 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of subsets of a set with \(m\) elements is \(2^{m}\). The number of subsets of a set with \(n\) elements is \(2^{n}\). Given the condition \(2^{m} - 2^{n} = 112\). Factoring out \(2^{n}\), we get \(2^{n}(2^{m-n} - 1) = 112\). Expressing \(112\) as a product of a power…
