Correct answer
1979
Step-by-step explanation
The set has 11 elements.
We need to count subsets with and even product.
A product is even iff at least one element is even.
Equivalently, count complements: a product is odd iff all elements are odd.
The odd numbers in are (6 elements).
Subsets of odd numbers: .
Among these, those with are all except empty set (1) and singletons (6): .
Total subsets with : .
Subsets with even product and : .
