JEE PYQ: Sets And Relations Question 11

Question 11 - 2020 (06 Sep Shift 1)

Set A has $m$ elements and set B has $n$ elements. If the total number of subsets of A is 112 more than the total number of subsets of B, then the value of $m \cdot n$ is _______.

Show Answer

Answer: 28

Solution

$2^m = 112 + 2^n \Rightarrow 2^m - 2^n = 112$

$\Rightarrow 2^n(2^{m-n} - 1) = 2^4(2^3 - 1)$

$\therefore m = 7, n = 4 \Rightarrow mn = 28$
