How many proper and improper subsets are there in the set K = { a, b, c, d, e}?
- 10
- 25
-
32
- 50
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
For a set with n elements, the total number of subsets is given by:
2\(^n\)
where n = the number of members of the set = 5
so, 2\(^5\) = 32
(every set is an improper subset of itself)
