Solution

The correct option is A 5220
S={1,2,,20}
Total number of subsets of S is 220.
Sum of elements of S is 20×212=210.
Sum of the elements of B is 203

So, we have to remove elements x1,x2,...,xn from S such that x1+x2+...+xn=7

The possible sets are
i.e. {7},{1,6},{2,5},{3,4},{1,2,4}
Required probability =5220
