✅ Option b — 31

All Options:

  • A32
  • B31
  • C30
  • D25

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The given set is S={3,4,5,6,7}\displaystyle S = \{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}.
The number of elements in set S\displaystyle S is n=5\displaystyle n = 5.
The total number of subsets is given by the formula 2n\displaystyle 2^n:
Total subsets=25=32Total subsets=25=32\displaystyle \text{Total subsets} = 2^5 = 32
The number of proper subsets is given by the formula 2n−1\displaystyle 2^n - 1:
Number of proper subsets=32−1=31Number of proper subsets=32−1=31\displaystyle \text{Number of proper subsets} = 32 - 1 = 31
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
