  • B31
  • C30
  • D25

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the given set be S={3,4,5,6,7}\displaystyle S = \{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}.
The number of elements in the set S\displaystyle S is n=5\displaystyle n = 5.
The total number of subsets of a set with n\displaystyle n elements is given by the formula:
Total Subsets=2n\text{Total Subsets} = 2^n
Substituting n=5\displaystyle n = 5:
Total Subsets=25=32\text{Total Subsets} = 2^5 = 32
A proper subset of a set S\displaystyle S is any subset of S\displaystyle S other than S\displaystyle S itself. Therefore, the number of proper subsets is given by:
Number of Proper Subsets=2n−1\text{Number of Proper Subsets} = 2^n - 1
Substituting the values:
Number of Proper Subsets=32−1=31\text{Number of Proper Subsets} = 32 - 1 = 31
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
