Dear Students,

Total disjoint subsets are 2^n-1 where n is the no of elements in the set.

Cracking IIT just got more exciting,It s not just all about getting assistance from IITians, alongside Target Achievement and Rewards play an important role. ASKIITIANS has it all for you, wherein you get assistance only from IITians for your preparation and win by answering queries in the discussion forums.

Suppose A and B are two such disjoint subsets of the set S. Then every element can go into A or B or the set S (3 choices). We only need to exclude the possibility of all elements choosing to be in S itself. Hence the number of ways is 3n-1

to find total no. of unordered pairs of disjoint subsets of a finite set---
If a finite set is given then take the no of elements of the set as “n” then solve :
formulae is -----------              (3^n+1)/2
n uh will get the ans...
thank you

If there are pairs of unordered disjoint sets could be found, 3 is to the power n-1/2+1. This formula mostly asked in IIT and competitive questions.

Total subsets=( 3^n)+1So total unordered subsets will be half of it ....=(( 3^n )+1)/2Where n is the total no of discreet elements given in the finite set
