Let Z be the set of integers. If `A= { x in Z : 2^((x+2)(x^(2)-5x+6)) =1}` and `B={x in Z: -3 lt 2x -1 lt 9},` then the number of subsets of the set ` A xx B`, isA. `2^(12)`B. `2^(18)`C. `2^(15)`D. `2^(10)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Given, set `A={x in Z: 2^((x+2)(x^(2)-5x+6))=1}`
Consider, `2^((x+2)(x^(2)-5x+6))=1=2^(@)`
`rArr (x+2)(x-3)(x-2)=0`
`rArrx=-2, 2, 3`
`rArr A={-2,2,3}`
Also, we have set `B={x in Z: -3 lt 2x-1 lt 9}`
Consider, `-3 lt 2x -1 lt 9,x in Z`
`rArr -2 lt 2x lt 10, x in Z`
`rArr -1 lt x lt 5, x in Z`
`rArr B={0,1,2,3,4}`
So, `A xx B` has 15 elements.
` therefore " Number of subsets of "A xx B=2^(15)`.
[ `because ` If n(A) = m, the number of possible subsets = `2^(m)`]
