Multiple Choice Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Given, set P = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Let the two subsets be A and B
Then, n (A B) = 2 (as given in question)
We can choose two elements from set P in 5C2 ways.
After choosing two common elements for set A and B, each of remaining three elements from set P have three choice (1) It can go to set A (2) It can go to set B (3) It don't go to any sets it stays at set P.
Total ways for the three elements = 3 3 3 = 33
Required probability = =
