If \(A = \{a, b, c, d, e, f\}\), then the number of subsets of A which contains at least \(2\) elements is

  1. A \(64\)
  2. B \(65\)
  3. C \(57\)
  4. D \(59\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(57\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of elements in set \(A\) is \(n = 6\).

Total number of subsets of \(A\) is \(2^6 = 64\).

Number of subsets containing \(0\) elements is \(^{6}C_{0} = 1\).

Number of subsets containing \(1\) element is \(^{6}C_{1} = 6\).

Number of subsets containing at least \(2\) elements is equal to the total number of subsets minus the number of subsets with \(0\) or \(1\) element.

Required number of subsets \(= 64 - (1 + 6) = 57\).

Answer: \(57\)
