Answer

For set \( S = \{1, 2\} \), the possible subsets are \( \{1\} \), \( \{2\} \), \( \{1, 2\} \), and \( \{\} \) (the empty set).

Steps

Step 1 :The power set of a set is the set of all possible subsets of the original set. A subset is a collection of elements from the original set which may include the entire set and the empty set.

Step 2 :For set \( S = \{1, 2\} \), the possible subsets are \( \{1\} \), \( \{2\} \), \( \{1, 2\} \), and \( \{\} \) (the empty set).
