The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Given the set A = {p, q}, we want to find the number of subsets of A.
The number of subsets of a set with n elements is given by 2n.
Here, A has 2 elements (n = 2), so the number of subsets is 22 = 4.
These subsets are:
- The empty set: ∅
- {p}
- {q}
- {p, q}
Therefore, the correct answer is (2) 4.

Consider the following statements about such a ring \( R \):
P1: \( R \) is isomorphic to the product of two rings \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \).
P2: \( \exists r_1, r_2 \in R \) such that \( r_1^2 = r_1 \neq 0 \), \( r_2^2 = 0 \), and \( r_1 + r_2 = 1 \).
P3: \( R \) has ideals \( I_1, I_2 \subset R \) with \( R \neq I_1 \), \( (0) \neq I_2 \), and \( R = I_1 + I_2 \) and \( I_1 \cap I_2 = (0) \).

- In the following, all subsets of Euclidean spaces are considered with the respective subspace topologies. Define an equivalence relation \( \sim \) on the sphere \[ S = \left\{ (x_1, x_2, x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 = 1 \right\} \] by \( (x_1, x_2, x_3) \sim (y_1, y_2, y_3) \) if \( x_3 = y_3 \), for \( (x_1, x_2, x_3), (y_1, y_2, y_3) \in S \). Let \( [x_1, x_2, x_3] \) denote the equivalence class of \( (x_1, x_2, x_3) \), and let \( X \) denote the set of all such equivalence classes. Let \( L : S \to X \) be given by \[ L\left( (x_1, x_2, x_3) \right) = [x_1, x_2, x_3]. \] If \( X \) is provided with the quotient topology induced by the map \( L \), then which one of the following is TRUE?
