this can be connected to the binimial theorem easily .

the subserts of a given set S may have 0 elements, 1 element, 2 elements....n elements.

so number of subsets will be

c(n,0), c(n,1)...c(n,n)

sum of all these will be the same as the expansion of (1+1) whole raised to power n, which is eequal to 2 raised to n

hence the answer.
