Question

If a set has three elements, how many subsets does it have

Answer 1

Then, it can have EIGHT subsets in total!!

Answer 2

Answer: 8

Explanation:

• A set is said to be a subset of a set if all elements of the subset are elements of the set .

The number of subsets of a set with n elements is given by the formula :

`2^n`

Therefore, if a set has three elements then the number of subsets of the set will be :

`2^3=8`

Hence, If a set has three elements, then is has 8 subsets.
