There are 2 1 0 0 − 1 nonempty subsets of { 1 , 2 , 3 , … , 1 0 0 } . Since there are 5 0 even numbers from 1 to 1 0 0 , there are 2 5 0 − 1 nonempty subsets of { 1 , 2 , 3 , … , 1 0 0 } which don't have an odd element. Thus, there are T = 2 1 0 0 − 1 − ( 2 5 0 − 1 ) = 2 1 0 0 − 2 5 0 subsets having at least one odd element. By Euler's Totient Theorem, we have 2 1 0 0 ≡ 1 ( m o d 1 2 5 ) since φ ( 1 2 5 ) = 1 0 0 . Furthermore, we have 2 7 ≡ 3 ( m o d 1 2 5 ) ⟹ 2 4 2 ≡ 7 2 9 ≡ 1 0 4 ( m o d 1 2 5 ) and 2 8 ≡ 6 ( m o d 1 2 5 ) , so 2 5 0 ≡ 1 0 4 ( 6 ) ≡ − 1 ( m o d 1 2 5 ) , so 2 1 0 0 − 2 5 0 ≡ 2 ( m o d 1 2 5 ) . Since 8 ∣ 2 1 0 0 − 2 5 0 , by Chinese Remainder Theorem we get 2 1 0 0 − 2 5 0 ≡ 7 5 2 ( m o d 1 0 0 0 ) , so the answer is 7 5 2 .
