Solution
The correct option is C2n(n−1) The number of element in A= n×n
The number of element of A having (x,x) for all x∈S = n
Total remaining element = (n×n)−n
Since Subset B must have (x,x) for all x∈S = n so it may have any number of remaining element.
Number of ways of selecting elements from remaining element = 2(n×n)−n
