Solution

The correct option is C 2n(n1)
The number of element in A= n×n
The number of element of A having (x,x) for all xS = n
Total remaining element = (n×n)n
Since Subset B must have (x,x) for all xS = n so it may have any number of remaining element.
Number of ways of selecting elements from remaining element = 2(n×n)n
