The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$n(A \times B)=8$
Total subsets $=2^{8}$
${ }^{8} C _{0}+8 C _{1}+{ }^{8} C _{2}$

Concepts Used:

Permutations and Combinations

Permutation:

Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence. 

  • In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point. 
  • A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.

Combination:

Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.

  • Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
