If X = {a, b}. Then find the power set of X

If X = {a, b}. Then find the power set of X Correct Answer  {ϕ,{a}, {b}, {a, b}}

Concept:

Power Set:

Let A be set, then the set of all the possible subsets of A is called the power set of A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A). i.e P(A) = {X : X ⊆ A}

Note: If A is a finite set with m elements. Then the number of elements (cardinality) of the power set of A is given by: n (P(A)) = 2m.

Calculation:

Given: X = {a, b}

The subsets of the given set X are: ϕ,{a}, {b}, {a, b}

As we know that, if A is any set, then the set of all the possible subsets of A is called the power set of A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A).

Hence, P(X) = {ϕ,{a}, {b}, {a, b}}

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Top lenders to power projects including State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Power Finance Corp and others have agreed to decide the fate of a dozen stressed assets totaling about 13,000 MW by October 10. At a meeting between lenders and top government officials late on Thursday, large lenders explained risks of moving power projects to insolvency court to disagreeing banks, most of which have smaller exposures, and sought to arrive upon a decision before the set deadline. Courses of action: I. Lenders were informed about rising electricity demand and measures being proposed by the high level empowered committee that is working to address issues related to fuel, discom payment delays and regulatory approvals.  II. Banks with lesser exposure to stressed assets in power sector have been asked to come together and decide either to agree with the resolution plan or refer the projects to bankruptcy court rather than dilly-dallying. III. However, if the resolution plans are decided, it can create a favorable ground before the court to salvage at least some of these good operational assets from insolvency proceedings.
