The correct answer is: 19

Given,

PA45

A is subset of S hence

A can have elements;

type 1:

type 2E1,E2,E8

type 3E1,E2,E1,E3E1,E8

type 6E1,E2,.E5,E4,E5,E6,E7,E8

type 7E1,E2,.E6,E3,E4,.E8

type 8E1,E2,.E7E2,E3,.E8

type 9E1,E2,E8

As PA45;

Note: Type 1 to Type 4 elements can not be in set A as maximum probability of type 4 elements.

E5,E6,E7,E8 is 536+636+736+836=1318<45

Now for Type 5 acceptable elements let's call probability as P5

P5=n1+n2+n3+n4+n53645

n1+n2+n3+n4+n328.8

Hence, 2 possible ways E5,E6,E7,E8,E3 or E4

P6=n1+n1+n3+n4+n3+n628.8

 9 possible ways

P7n1+n1++n728.8

 7 possible ways

P8n1+n1++nn28.8

 1 possible way

Total =19
