The number of proper non-empty subsets of a set with 10 elements are _____.

This question was previously asked in
RRB Technician 2026 Grade 3 Question Paper (7-Oct-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

1022

A set with n elements has \(2^n\) subsets in all.

For n = 10: \(2^{10} = 1024\) subsets.

Proper non-empty subsets exclude the empty set and the set itself, so subtract 2.

\(1024 - 2 = 1022\)

Hence, the answer is 1022.
