To illuminate the hall we require at least one lamp is to be switched on. here is one possibility when all the lamps are switched on.
There is one possibllity when all the lamps are switched off. If all the bulbs are switched off then hall will not be illuminated.
So the number of ways in which the hall can be illuminated is 2101. P.Q. A coin is tossed 3 times find the outcomes are recorded. How many possible outcomes are there ?

Total number of possible outcomes when coin is tossed 3 times = 2×2×2=8
