- A.219correct
- B.256
- C.275
- D.510
Answer
A. 219
Explanation
Given, $$ \begin{aligned} &n(A)=4, n(B) =2 \\\\ &\Rightarrow n(A \times B) =8 \end{aligned} $$ Total number of subsets of set $(A \times B)=2^8$ Number of subsets of set $A \times B$ having no element (i.e. $\phi)=1$ Number of subsets of set $A \times B$ having one element $={ }^8 C_1$ Number of subsets of set $A \times B$ having two elements $={ }^8 C_2$ $\therefore$ Number of subsets having atleast three elements $$ \begin{aligned} &=2^8-\left(1+{ }^8 C_1+{ }^8 C_2\right) \\\\ &=2^8-1-8-28 \\\\ &=2^8-37 \\\\ &=256-37=219 \end{aligned} $$
