The first image explains a "selfish" set, where a set is called selfish if its size is an element of the set. An example is given with the set {1, 2, 3}, which is selfish because it contains three elements and the number 3 is included in the set.

In the second image, the problem asks: how many subsets of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} have the property that both the subset and its complement are selfish.

Here's how to approach this:

1. Selfish Set Definition: A set is selfish if it contains its own size as an element.

2. Complement of a Set: The complement of a set $A$ in a universal set $U$ is the set of all elements of $U$ that are not in $A$. For example, if $U = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}$ and $A = \{1, 2\}$, the complement of $A$ would be $\{3, 4\}$.

Strategy:

To find subsets $S$ where both $S$ and its complement are selfish, the size of $S$ (let’s call it $|S|$) must be an element of $S$, and the size of its complement $|S^c|$ must also be an element of $S^c$. Both sets need to satisfy the selfish property.

Let’s break this down:

• If $|S| = k$, then $k$ must be an element of $S$.
• Similarly, if $|S^c| = 8 - k$, then $8 - k$ must be an element of $S^c$.

Let’s now work through this process step-by-step to find the number of valid subsets.
