n(A) = 3
n(B)=6
n(AUB) = n(A)+n(B)-n(AB)
for minimum number of elements in
n(AB)= 3
so n(AUB = 6
Let A and B be two sets having m and n elements respectively.Then,
Number of subsets of A=2m,Number of subsets of B=2n
It is given that 2m-2n=56
so,2n(2m-n-1)=23(23-1)
n=3 and m-n=3n=3 and m=6
The no of proper subsets=2n-1=23-1=7
Here n=no of elements of given set=3
