Answer:


Proper\ Subset = 63

Explanation:

Given


N = \{10, 50, 63, 15, 40, 55\}

Required

Determine the proper subsets

This is calculated by:


Proper\ Subset = 2^n - 1

Where n is the number of elements in the set.

In this case,


n = 6

So:


Proper\ Subset = 2^n - 1


Proper\ Subset = 2^6 - 1


Proper\ Subset = 64- 1


Proper\ Subset = 63
