Assume that the set A contains a elements and the set B contains b elements. Clearly b ≤ a − 1 . Thus we have, 2 1 2 a ≤ 2 a − 2 b = 1 9 2 ≤ 2 a Since a is an integer, the above inequality has the unique solution a = 8 .

Number of subset of a set with n element is 2 n . We know that
1 9 2 = 2 6 ∗ 3 = 2 6 ( 2 2 − 1 ) = 2 8 − 2 6
therefore, we could conclude that A have 8 elements while B have 6 elements.
