Question -

Let A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}. Write A × B. How many subsets will A × B have? List them.



Answer -

Given,
A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}
So,
A × B = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}
Number of elements in A × B is n(A × B) = 4
We know that,
If C is a set with n(C) = m, then n[P(C)] = 2m.
Thus, the set A × B has 24 = 16 subsets.
And, these subsets are as below:
Φ, {(1, 3)}, {(1, 4)}, {(2, 3)}, {(2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4)}, {(1, 3), (2, 3)}, {(1, 3), (2, 4)}, {(1, 4), (2, 3)}, {(1, 4), (2, 4)}, {(2, 3), (2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 4)}, {(1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}
