    Let S be the set of the first 11 natural numbers. Then the number of elements in $\mathrm{A}=\{\mathrm{B} \subseteq \mathrm{S}: \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B}) \geq 2$ and the product of all elements of B is even $\}$ is $\_\_\_\_$

    Solution

    First Method:

    \[ \mathrm{S}=\{1,2,3,4, \ldots, 10,11\} \]

    even no →2,4,6,8,10
    odd no →1,3,5,7,9,11
    Total subsets $=2^{11}$
    No of subsets such that product of numbers is $\mathrm{odd}=2^{6}$
    No of subsets such that product of number is even $=2^{11}-2^{6}=2048-64=1984$ required no of subsets $=1984-(\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=1$ \& Product is even $)$

    \[ =1984-5=1979 \text { Ans. } \]

    Second Method:

    \[ \begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=2, & \quad{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{2}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{2} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=3, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{3}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{3} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=4, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{4}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{4} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=5, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{5}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{5} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=6, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{6}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{6} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=7, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{7}-0 \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=8 & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{8} \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=9, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{9} \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=10, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{10} \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=11, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{11} \end{array} \]

    required no. of subsets $=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=2}^{11}{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}-\sum_{\mathrm{r}=2}^{6}{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}$

    \[ \begin{aligned} & =\left(2^{11}-{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{0}-{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{1}\right)-\left(2^{6}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{0}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}\right) \\ & =2048-1-11-(64-1-6) \\ & =2048-64-5=1979 \text { Answer }(1979) \end{aligned} \]
