If a set $A$ has 5 elements, then the number of ways of selecting two subsets $P$ and $Q$ from $A$ such that $P$ and $Q$ are mutually disjoint, is
  1. $64$
  2. $128$
  3. $243$
  4. $729$

Solution

Given set A has 5 elements, there are two subsets $P$ and Q which are mutually disjoint. So, the required number of ways of selecting two subsets will be $3^5=243$.
