The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Note : Number of proper subsets of $A = 2^n -1$
Given : A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Here n = 5
$\therefore$ no. of proper subsets = $2^5 - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31$

- Let $A = \{2, 3, 4, 5, \ldots, 16, 17, 18\}$. Let $R$ be the relation on the set $A$ of ordered pairs of positive integers defined by $(a, b) R (c, d)$ if and only if $ad = bc$ for all $(a, b), (c, d) \in A \times A$. Then the number of ordered pairs of the equivalence class of $(3, 2)$ is:
- The equation of a common tangent to the parabolas \( y = x^2 \) and \( y = -(x - 2)^2 \) is:
- If \( f(x) = \frac{4x + 5}{6x - 4}, \, x \neq \frac{2}{3} \) and \( (fof)(x) = g(x) \), where \( g : \mathbb{R} - \left\{ \frac{2}{3} \right\} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} - \left\{ \frac{2}{3} \right\} \), then \( (gogogog)(4) \) is equal to

Concepts Used:
Sets
Set is the collection of well defined objects. Sets are represented by capital letters, eg. A={}. Sets are composed of elements which could be numbers, letters, shapes, etc.
Example of set: Set of vowels A={a,e,i,o,u}
Representation of Sets
There are three basic notation or representation of sets are as follows:
Statement Form: The statement representation describes a statement to show what are the elements of a set.
- For example, Set A is the list of the first five odd numbers.
Roster Form: The form in which elements are listed in set. Elements in the set is seperatrd by comma and enclosed within the curly braces.
- For example represent the set of vowels in roster form.
A={a,e,i,o,u}
Set Builder Form:
- The set builder representation has a certain rule or a statement that specifically describes the common feature of all the elements of a set.
- The set builder form uses a vertical bar in its representation, with a text describing the character of the elements of the set.
- For example, A = { k | k is an even number, k ≤ 20}. The statement says, all the elements of set A are even numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
- Sometimes a ":" is used in the place of the "|".
