How many subsets with exactly (5) elements does a set of (12) elements have?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (792)

Direct answer: Option A, 792 subsets. A subset with exactly 5 elements is formed by choosing 5 different elements from the 12-element set. Order does not matter in a subset, so use the combination \(\binom{12}{5}\). Compute it as \(\frac{12\times11\times10\times9\times8}{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}=792\). Option A, 792, is therefore correct. Option B, 924, corresponds to a different combination value and is not \(\binom{12}{5}\). Option C, 990, and option D, 1188, are also incorrect numerical values. We do not multiply by arrangements because the same five elements make only one subset regardless of their order. A useful check is symmetry: \(\binom{12}{5}=\binom{12}{7}\), but neither means choosing an ordered list. Memory cue: “subset” means choose, not arrange; use \(nCr\).
