Question

ganeshie8 · Answer

Nope, if a finite set has "n" elements then the number of elements of any of its subset is  less than 2^n

ganeshie8 · Answer

*less than or equal to 2^n

If a finite set has n elements, than any subset will have less than n elements(you can have at most n). I think you are getting this confused with there being 2^n subsets of a set with n elements @ganeshie8

Granted $n<2^n$ for all n, but I thought I should clarify...
