Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 24 January (Evening Shift)

Let S be a set of 5 elements and P(S) denote the power set of S. Let E be an event of choosing an ordered pair (A, B) from the set P(S) P(S) such that A B = . If the probability of the event E is 3p2q, where p, q N, then p + q is equal to .

Answer

15

Solution

The total number of ordered pairs (A, B) is n(P(S))2 = (25)2 = 210.

For A B = , each element of S has 3 choices (in A only, in B only, or in neither), so there are 35 favourable pairs and

P(E) = 35210

Hence p = 5 and q = 10.

p + q = 15

Answer: 15
