About This Quiz
Identifying Subsets & Power Sets (Advanced) - Quiz

Ready for a challenge? This quiz pushes your skills with advanced subset and power set problems, requiring both strategy and accuracy. Try this quiz to test your mastery of these set operations.

2)
You may optionally provide this to label your report, leaderboard, or certificate.
2) A has 3 elements. How many elements are in P(P(P(A)))?

Explanation

|A|=3 → P(A) has 2^3=8. → P(P(A)) has 2^8=256. → P(P(P(A))) has 2^256.

Submit
3) If X ⊂ Y and |Y| = n, how many subsets of Y contain X?

Explanation

Every element not in X can either be included or excluded freely → 2^(n−|X|).

Submit
4) How many subsets of a 10-element set have at least one element?

Explanation

Total subsets = 2^10=1024. Excluding ∅ leaves 1023.

Submit
5) How many proper subsets does a 7-element set have?

Explanation

Total subsets = 2^7=128. Proper subsets exclude the set itself → 127.

Submit
6) How many subsets of a 6-element set have exactly 4 elements?

Explanation

Number of 4-element subsets = C(6,4)=15.

Submit
7) If P(A) has 16 elements, how many elements does A have?

Explanation

|P(A)|=2^|A|=16. So |A|=4.

Submit
8) If |P(A)| = 512, find |A|.

Explanation

2^|A|=512 → |A|=9.

Submit
9) For set B={1,2,{3}}, how many subsets does B have?

Explanation

B has 3 elements (1,2,{3}). Subsets=2^3=8.

Submit
10) If S has n elements, how many subsets of S have odd cardinality?

Explanation

Half of all subsets have odd cardinality → 2^(n−1).
