Solution
The correct option is A 219 Number of elements in Set A = 4
Number of elements in Set B = 2 ∴ Number of elements in set (A × B) = 4 × 2 = 8 ∴ Total number of subsets of (A × B) = 28=256
Number of subsets having 0 elements = 8C0=1
Number of subsets having 1 element each = 8C1=8
Number of subsets having 2 elements each = 8C2=28
Number of subsets having at least 3 elements = 256-1-8-28 = 219
