P = {2,4,6..........198}

R = {5,10,15,20...........195}

Elements if subset of P and R = LCM of 2&5 = (10,20,30......190
An = A+(n-1)*d
190 = 10+(n-1)*10
180 = (n-1)*10
18 = n-1
19 = n -----------(1)

How many subsets of P are also subsets of R = Either taking one no. Or not = 2^19

Answer is C

Can you please help me understanding in why we need to take 2^19?

Ways to create subsets out of 19 element
select 0 elements nC0+select 1 element nC1+ .... select 19 element nC19=
nC0+nC1+nC2...+nCn=2^n

Can you please help me understanding in why we need to take 2^19?

Hello, it's because The number of subsets of a set with n elements is given by: 2^n. here n is the number of commun elements so n 19.
