Question 11. Let A and B be two finite sets with m and n elements respectively. The total number of subsets of the set A is 56 more than the total number of subsets of B . Then the distance of the point P(m, n) from the point Q(-2,-3) is
(1) 10
(2) 6
(3) 4
(4) 8
Answer (1)
Explanation:
\quad 2^{m}-2^{n}=56 2^{n}\left(2^{m-n}-1\right)=2^{3} \times 72^{n}=2^{3} and 2^{m-n}-1=7
\Rightarrow n=3 and 2^{m-n}=8
\Rightarrow n=3 and m-n=3
\Rightarrow n=3 and m=6
P(6,3) and Q(-2,-3)
PQ=\sqrt{8^{2}+6^{2}}=\sqrt{100}=10Hence option (1) is correct
